Last Time in Flagstaff (Most Likely)!!!

I am currently attending a course about the National Physical Therapy Exam (NPTE) here in good old Flagstaff. This course in offering tips, study strategies, and testing format that will help pass the NPTE. The NPTE is a 250 question in 5 hours computer based test so be able to get a license to practice physical therapy in the state (Nevada in my case) you desire. The passing score is 600 out of 800 (don't know how they get that number) but its roughly 75%. The current pass rate for first time NPTE takers is 80%. I guess one good thing about the test, is that you don't have to take it in the state your practicing. I just have to find a testing center here in Utah to take it at and they send it to Nevada for me.

We were giving 8-12 practice questions for each section of the exam over the 2-day course. I scored around 65% which I am very pleased with considering I haven't begun studying yet. I plan on spending 5-6 hours a day, 5-6 days a week, for 4-6 weeks studying so I will be able to take the NPTE between June 11-22. So yes, the website may not be updated (unless Katie does it) in this time.

So now, All I have left is Graduation and a Rogers Family (Parents, Sister's family, us) trip to Disneyland. I'm staying with friends in our Flagstaff ward and former SHS classmate, Monica Clifton (now Harmon). All of my family will arrive Friday afternoon and then graduate the next day and then driving to California on Mother's Day.

I will put up pictures for Graduation and Disneyland as soon as we get back.
