Congratulations! I'm currently a 2nd year DPT student with ADHD and was looking ahead for something like the final frontier. I plan to take the NPTE next April and went to use your code "KRISTENNIC10," but it says it doesn't exist. Planning to register regardless but would always say yes to a coupon haha #brokestudentlife. Figured it out! I used the code in your video, not the description, and it gave me $10 off. Thank you so much! And congrats again!

[@kristennicolosi]

thank you so much!❤ I will edit the description right now, I 100% made a typi there 😂 you will absolutely love FF and pass your NPTE, best of luck with the rest of your program!

[@ms.jayraymond2547]

Thank you for making this video Kristen! Heading towards my third year of PT school and your videos have been very helpful and informative. Again congratulations Dr. Nicolosi! 🎉

[@kristennicolosi]

you’re welcome! thank you for watching!☺️ good luck finishing school!

[@beatastopka3373]

Thank you for making a video about this topic!! Congrats on being completely done! Im taking it in July and I am extremly anxious. Im using scorebuilders and I hope its adequate enough

[@kristennicolosi]

thanks for watching! good luck on your exam, you got this!!!!🤍🤩

[@roootiii]

Omg! I’ve been watching you since 2021 because you were one of my inspiration for surviving PT school 😫, It’s like i’ve been part of your DPT journey! 🥺 Congratulations, I’m soo proud of you! 🥳🫶

[@kristennicolosi]

this makes me so happy! thank you so much🥰🥰

[@AlanQuisido]

Thank you for sharing this info! I'm a 3rd year DPT student & just took the PEAT. Planning on taking the NPTE in April and am starting to really plan and schedule my time for it. I think I might actually opt to sign up for final frontier!

[@kristennicolosi]

yay!! im glad it was helpful

[@patatstkd]

Thank you for making this video, as a foreign-trained PT this is very helpful!

[@kristennicolosi]

thanks for watching & glad it was helpful!!

[@slvdrfrncs]

First, congratulations! Second, thanks for this video. I’m so excited! Will be sitting the exam on October 25 and I’m currently reviewing with NPTEFF under study bundle, too!

[@kristennicolosi]

thank you! & best of luck to you😊 i hope you love FF!

[@slvdrfrncs]

@@kristennicolosi Hi! I hope you don't mind me conversing here. I'm feeling a bit anxious. I just finished my practice PEAT and barely passed with a score of 152/200. Scaled 635. I was just wondering what your PEAT scores were and the correlation to your actual NPTE score. Thank you!

[@kristennicolosi]

@@slvdrfrncs you got this! I believe on the peats I got a scaled score in the high 600-low 700 range. usually passing the npte is ~135 questions correct so you’re doing great. good luck!

[@jordantecson2093]

Im a fresh PT graduate, just been researching on some approaches or strats to prepare for the NPTE. your video gave me hope that i could do it. :D

[@kristennicolosi]

you can do it! best of luck to you!🤩

[@kararoghair3141]

CONGRATS!!! You deserve it :)

[@kristennicolosi]

thank you so much!!🥰🥰🥰

[@waynekerr9237]

Hello, good tips!! Just wanted to let everyone know a good strategy for me passing (as Kristen mentions) was I’d take the scorebuilders test and PEATs then go through every question afterward (even if I answer correctly) and read all the rationales and study based on what I felt comfortable or uncomfortable with on those rationales. Cannot recommend this enough. Scorebuilders book helped to reinforce these, good luck everyone!!

[@kristennicolosi]

yes i did this with my exams too! thanks so much for sharing! congratulations

[@brieguira8940]

Where do you take PEATs practice tests?

[@carolineschmidt3430]

Thank you so much for all your tips!

Congrats ❤ I’m also taking FINAL FRONTIER for my PCE this year…. Hoping to see the passed result

[@kristennicolosi]

you got this!

[@pan0rahmah]

Congratulations ❤❤ so proud of you 👏👏👏 can you do a video on all the books that might help you after you work as a PT like something you can refer to

[@kristennicolosi]

thanks so much! you mean books that help with treating patients?

[@ronsyp]

I'm going to use your link for FF, I recently failed my first attempt for my PTA license using just scorebuilders base camp.

[@kristennicolosi]

thank you so much for your support!! my friend is a PTA & used it and scored very highly🥰 you got this

[@ashleyrosa8432]

What did you study before your Final Frontier cohort started? Did you start the readings early from the last cohort? I'm taking the October exam, so I have about 18 weeks but Final Frontier is only 11 weeks so I don't know what to do with the extra time. I've already graduated so I have plenty of free time and I'd like to use the extra time to study and be as productive as possible.

[@kristennicolosi]

hi! before the FF cohort started, I went through the Scorebuilders book and the gold/silver/bronze focus topics for each section! i didn’t want to get into any of the FF stuff early because i was worried i would forget things, so i just tried to brush up on bigger topics if that makes sense. i also listened to clincial files podcast & did my question of the day apps. hope this helps and good luck!!💗

[@ashleyrosa8432]

@@kristennicolosi That makes sense. I also have the Scorebuilders book so I think I'll do the same. Thank you so much for your reply!

[@jordycg5818]

I've been following your journey for a while. Thank you for sharing and congrats! I just finished undergrad and am planning on taking a gap year or 2. I need to retake A&P. And my school didn't offer chem 2, physics 2, bio 2 for exercise science majors lol

[@kristennicolosi]

thank you so much! best of luck on your journey, you got this!

[@mohamad_Alsamadi]

Thank you❤️❤️❤️

[@ElishaaLi]

Final frontier offers an audio version of the independent study bundle where you get an audio recording of the lectures instead of a video recording. It’s $150 cheaper. Do you think the videos would be especially helpful, or would listening to the lecture be enough as long as you are an auditory learner?

[@kristennicolosi]

do you still get access to the power points? theres also a black friday sale going on right now!!

[@ElishaaLi]

@@kristennicolosi yes! You still have access to the pdf lecture slides

[@kristennicolosi]

@@ElishaaLi I think that would be sufficient then!

[@maryjons.maulas5570]

Im gonna take it on october! Wish me luck 😭💘

[@kristennicolosi]

best of luck to you! you will do amazing i just know it💗😊

[@ElishaaLi]

Hi!! It sounds like you took both the Scorebuilders and TherapyEd 2 day courses through your school. I am trying to organize a prep course for my class and was wondering if you have insight on which one you preferred if you only had to go with one? CONGRATULATIONS by the way on passing and graduating!! I love your vlogs so much they add so much light to PT school! I found your channel randomly when searching for ideas for clinic clothes and ended up subscribing and watching ever since!

[@kristennicolosi]

thank you so much!🥰💗 personally i like therapyed course better! it went over more actual content and test taking strategies and they gave us a little prep book that actually had a lot of great study material. the scorebuilders one was just a lot of practice questions and how to design a study plan really. hope this helps!!! good luck!

[@marcelagonzalez7227]

Hi, Do you recommend taking a scorebuilder exam prior to starting serious studying with final frontier?

[@kristennicolosi]

It can be a helpful way to gauge strengths/weaknesses and a starting point! but also FF builds several practices exams into the study outline and says when to take them😊

[@johnlai9114]

Hey! I'm studying for the NPTE exam in Jan and I'm also using final frontier. I was wondering if the reading timeables are necessary or just the videos?

[@kristennicolosi]

I did them, but also know people who did not. personally I would read them if its a topic you feel less confident in :)

[@Steeb1983]

When you took the NPTEFF course (Dr. Singh is the GOAT) did you do all the recommended readings on the schedule?

[@kristennicolosi]

i love dr singh!!! yes i did🥰

[@arianakelly7837]

What did your day to day look like in terms of studying? Like if there is a day when you have a couple pages of reading but no lecture, what did you do the rest of the day? I am starting at the beginning but am feeling like I am not filling up my hours of studying with just the reading or the lecture if there is one.

[@kristennicolosi]

I would follow the study plan whether that be the lecture or readings for the day! then I would cross reference with my scorebuilders book to see if there was anything additional to review about the topic the FF content was talking about if that makes sense. hope this helps!

[@simplyannie2550]

Hey Kristen! When did you have to take the jurisprudence law exam in the state you will be practicing in? before or after taking the NPTE?

[@kristennicolosi]

hi! PA does not require it actually. I also need my NJ license for my residency which I am in the process of getting now so I just recently took the jurisprudence for that😊

[@simplyannie2550]

@@kristennicolosi I see! Thank you so much!

I graduate in May and am wondering if you have heard anything about PT final exam? I am between FF and PT final exam

[@kristennicolosi]

I have not sorry!

[@jhanvidesai9722]

except lectures what study material did you use ? I am currently preparing for next April npte

[@kristennicolosi]

the bonus material folder was amazing!!! & try to keep up with the daily readings

[@geraldmanao3198]

How did you use TherapyEd along with FF?

[@kristennicolosi]

my school did a therapyed weekend course so closer to exam day i went through the mini book they provided with it!

[@brieguira8940]

Can you link the PEAT tests please?

I just saw ur videos and u are very nice person ..ur videos are very helpful..I m an Indian student .,I have my bachelors and masters from India ..I wish to come to US to work as a PT ..plz guide me ..and therapy Ed and score builder books are not available India Bt somehow I find there pdfs online ..Bt I don’t know about their editions ..plz help me how can I come to US and will I get a good job there ..bcoz in India there is not much scope..salaries of a PT is very less..

[@kristennicolosi]

hi! I recommend reaching out the the specific state board you are interested in moving to & she the requirements for foreign trained therapists. I believe you will need to take and pass the NPTE. Final Frontier works with a lot of foreign therapists to help them prepare and pass the boards exam so they would be a good resource for you!

[@user-wr1wb8uz2t]

is residency given on grades of npte????

[@kristennicolosi]

I would say moreso experience in the field of residency, clinicals, gpa, and interview!
