PT Hustle

Positive experience: I enrolled in this program for NPTE preparation at a significant cost (approximately $5,000), and while there are positive aspects to the program, I ultimately do not feel it was the right fit for my learning needs. I am sharing this review to help future students make an informed decision, particularly those seeking individualized support. Coach K is highly energetic, motivating, and engaging. His lecture videos are well-organized, entertaining, and informative, and you can learn a great deal through the recorded content. His motivational messages are genuinely encouraging, and he does respond to emails promptly and clearly. On occasion, if a concept is not well understood, he may create additional clarification videos, which I appreciated. One of the most helpful takeaways for me was learning how to identify and highlight key features during the exam. That said, this program is largely self-directed. Despite being advertised in a way that suggests ongoing, close guidance (“Coach K will be with you throughout the process”), the reality is that there is no consistent one-on-one tutoring included at this price point. Over the course of one year in the program and multiple exam attempts (from my first through fourth attempt), I only met with Coach K twice. When I requested additional individualized tutoring, I was informed that one-on-one sessions are reserved for a separate VIP tier. Additionally, the program did not track or follow up on my exam dates, and I had to initiate communication myself. After my first and second exam attempts, I was not directed to the remediation or “next steps” material until my third attempt, which led to confusion early in the process. Given the cost, I expected more personalized oversight, structured check-ins, and individualized remediation. Several other students I met through the program ultimately sought private one-on-one tutoring elsewhere due to this gap. Overall, I believe this program may be beneficial for individuals who have been out of school for many years, as it offers a high volume of recorded content, and for highly independent learners who thrive with recorded lectures and self-study. However, I do not recommend this program for those seeking true one-on-one tutoring or consistent personalized guidance, especially at this price point. While there is valuable content here, for me, the cost did not align with the level of individualized support provided -----------------Reply to PT hustle-------------- I highlighted the program's strengths and acknowledged that, for some individuals, this model may be exactly what they are looking for. While my learning style may differ, I know I am not alone. Within my cohort, several individuals ultimately sought one-on-one private tutoring because, like me, they felt they needed a higher level of individualized support. I did mention in my review that email communication was timely and helpful. Regarding the video calls referenced, I personally met with you twice. The remaining videos were primarily motivational in nature. While encouragement is valuable, it was not the type of individualized content breakdown I needed at that stage, particularly given the financial investment. The last sentence stating that you are there until a student passes demonstrates how hands-off the model can feel. I took the exam a few weeks ago, and there has been no communication from the PT Hustle team. If there had been, you would have known that I passed — with partial benefit from the program, but primarily with the help of individualized tutoring to strengthen my clinical reasoning. I am happy for everyone who benefited from this program, truly. I found parts of the program very helpful. But coming out of PT school with debt and having to decide where to invest $5,000, I would have liked to know this perspective. I am not blaming the program; I simply want to give my honest opinion in case it helps someone else.

Fantastic experience: I used Kyle’s Review Program!!! I took everything he had to offer to heart and applied it immediately. I felt more confident in my game plan, how I was studying, and knowing exactly what I needed to study and when. If you need more guidance and support I would 110% recommend Kyle’s program! :)

Fantastic experience: I can't express how important Coach K and his team were to my improvements on the NPTE and finally passing the exam! Being a new grad and rushing to take the exam, I took the test in October of 2025, and to my sorrow, I did not pass the exam. That first try I scored in the 550s. With Coach K and the PT Hustle crew, I was able to pass this January, scoring in the 610s! Their holistic approach helped me in so many ways. It helped me redefine my spirituality, showed me how I can redefine my self image, and restore my pride as a person. I had handicapped myself, saying that I couldn't feel happy or proud about anything until I passed that exam. When I earned my Doctor Of Physical Therapy Degree, I really didn't feel happy or complete, continuing to give myself further goals without appreciating how far I have come. Coach K helped reset that and put me on a better path. They showed me how to dissect questions in a way that had never before been explained to me, how to manage anxiety during a test, and simply how to get into the question maker's head. I'll be forever grateful for these good folks. I hope that anyone in need that is struggling to pass their physical therapy boards sees this review and can put their trust into the PT Hustle and achieve their dreams. Thank you again Coach K!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Coach K, PT Hustle, and Coach Nick. This program truly exceeded my expectations and played a huge role in helping me feel confident and prepared going into my exam. From day one, the structure and organization of the content stood out. Every lecture was purposeful, high-yield, and directly relevant to what actually matters for the exam. There was no fluff — just clear explanations, strong clinical reasoning, and breakdowns of difficult topics in a way that finally made them click. The way complex concepts were simplified without losing depth made a huge difference in my retention and understanding. What really separates PT Hustle from other prep resources is the mentorship component. Coach Nick met with me every single week to check in, guide me, and keep me accountable. Those weekly meetings weren’t just surface-level check-ins — they were strategic. He helped me identify weak areas, adjust my study plan, improve my test-taking strategy, and stay mentally locked in. Having someone experienced walk alongside you through the process makes all the difference. Coach K’s teaching style is incredibly motivating and practical. The content doesn’t just prepare you to memorize — it trains you to think like the exam wants you to think. I felt like I was learning how to approach questions, eliminate distractors, and apply clinical reasoning instead of just cramming information. The community aspect was also huge. Being surrounded (even virtually) by other people grinding toward the same goal kept me accountable and motivated. It didn’t feel isolating like traditional solo studying can. If you’re serious about passing your exam and want a structured, high-impact, and supportive system — PT Hustle is worth it. The combination of high-quality content, consistent mentorship, and exam-specific strategy genuinely sets it apart. I’m extremely grateful for Coach K, Coach Nick, and the entire PT Hustle team. The guidance, structure, and support made a stressful process feel manageable and focused. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I used the PT Hustle Review course for studying for my NPTE! It helped me narrow my studying with his PASS system, as well as conquer the NPTE! So thankful I passed and I owe it to the PT Hustle, especially Coach Nick who helped provide me with test taking strategies and access to the Practice Question Club!!

Fantastic experience: Update: I PASSED the NPTE and am now a licensed PT, DPT. I cannot say enough good things about PT Hustle! I was the one that ultimately put in the hard work, but the guidance and support of everyone at PT Hustle helped to keep me motivated and focused throughout! Coach Kyle Rice and everyone at PT Hustle have made such a positive difference in my approach to studying for the NPTE. I had utilized the other major NPTE prep programs, and while the knowledge offered in each is similar, where PTH really shines and is worth the investment is the test strategy and personalized approach. There is so much information to study, and with the PT Hustle approach I was able to target my weak areas that require focused study in order to increase my score. Combined with Coach K's AMAZING PASS system with it's detailed approach on how to to break down questions and confidently choose the correct answer along with strategies to stay motived, engaged and prevent overwhelm, PT Hustle is a recipe for success. There is no short cut to putting the the work to prepare for such a rigorous exam, but the guidance, personalized approach and amazing support from everyone at PT Hustle I feel calm and confident heading into the NPTE.

Fantastic experience: PT Hustle with Coach K played a huge role in helping me pass the NPTE. The program provides so many resources and structured tools that truly help you dominate this exam instead of just “getting through” it. I’ve always struggled with standardized testing, and this program didn’t just improve my content knowledge, it strengthened my test-taking strategies, confidence, and motivation. That made a big difference for me on exam day. If you’ve been studying but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or don’t have a structured plan, this program is absolutely for you. It gives you direction, accountability, and the mindset support you need to keep going. I’m truly grateful for Coach K and the PT Hustle program. I wouldn’t be where I am without it!

Fantastic experience: The PT Hustle program was a lifesaver for me, and I’m so thankful that I found it and connected with Coach K and the team. If you’re looking for a personalized, interactive course to help improve your scores and mindset about the exam, this is the course for you! I always thought memorizing the content was the way to go, but the team showed me that improving my mindset, spirituality, health, and test taking skills was the key to success. I’ve always struggled with standardized tests, and I failed the NPTE 5 times. After finding this program and taking the NPTE for the 6th time, I’m proud to say that I finally passed! This team was great to work with, they’re always so uplifting and helpful, and you can email, text, or hop on a video call with them any time. Thank you all for helping me on this journey to become a licensed PT!

Fantastic experience: Beyond grateful for finding Coach K’s program. After struggling for years with standardized exams—especially the NPTE—I finally saw that PASS screen. Coach K and Coach Nick kept me accountable every step of the way, helped me build lifelong friendships, and even guided me to reconnect with my spiritual side throughout the process. I truly couldn’t have done this without them. Thank you PT Hustle team!

Fantastic experience: The PT Hustle played a massive role in helping me pass the NPTE, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. The program focuses on a holistic approach and teaches you how to break down NPTE-style questions in a simple manner. That shift alone made a massive difference in my confidence and test performance. The structure, accountability, and strategy behind The PT Hustle are unmatched. I finally felt like I had a plan that worked, instead of just passively studying and hoping for the best. The explanations are thorough, practical, and directly aligned with what actually shows up on the exam. More than anything, The PT Hustle helped me trust myself on test day. I walked into the NPTE feeling prepared, focused, and calm. If you’re serious about passing the NPTE and want a program that truly supports you every step of the way, The PT Hustle is 100% worth it.

Fantastic experience: Kyle Rice and everyone in the PT hustle program are absolutely amazing. I can not express how much this program helped me passed the NPTE. This program is perfect for anyone who is looking for specific and personalized study approach. Their system provided not only study guidance but full support with an entire lifestyle approach to crushing the NPTE. I am so glad I trusted PT hustle. Thank you guys!

Fantastic experience: I found the PT Hustle through the NPTE Clinical Files podcast. Coach K and his team bring the same energy to the coaching program that is evident on the pod. After PT school, I needed structure to keep me consistent and motivated in my studying. This program DELIVERED. The support from the team is unmatched, and Coach K always had a prompt response time for my emailed questions. Thank you all for helping me become a LICENSED physical therapist! Appreciate you guys!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about The PT Hustle and the incredible coaches behind it Coach K, Coach Nick, and Sabrina. This program genuinely changed my life. After not passing the NPTE on my first two attempts, I was mentally exhausted, emotionally drained, and questioning myself as both a student and a future clinician. From the very beginning, The PT Hustle felt different. This wasn’t just a test prep program it was a support system. What stood out immediately was how intentional and personalized everything was. The test-taking strategies were game-changing. I finally learned how to think through questions, how to manage time, how to break down tougher content, and how to approach the exam with confidence instead of panic and anxiety. They didn’t just teach content they taught me how to take the test like a professional with emotional and mental control, which made all the difference. The content review was structured, practical, and high yield. Instead of overwhelming me with everything, they helped me focus on what actually mattered and how it showed up on the exam. I started seeing patterns, improving my reasoning, and trusting my clinical judgment again. What truly sets The PT Hustle apart though are the weekly 1-on-1s. Those meetings kept me accountable, grounded, and focused. Every week, we reviewed my goals, adjusted my plan, and checked in on how I was doing not just via content/practice exams, but mentally and emotionally. Having coaches who genuinely cared about my well-being, my confidence, and my long-term success meant more to me than I can put into words. Coach K, Coach Nick, and Sabrina have been by my side for a long time, and I never once felt like “just another student.” They believed in me even when I struggled to believe in myself. That support carried me through the hardest moments of this journey. Because of this program, I passed the NPTE on my third attempt and I passed it with confidence. I’m not just relieved; I’m proud. And I truly believe I wouldn’t be here without The PT Hustle. If you’re feeling stuck, discouraged, or unsure of how to move forward this is the program for you. The guidance, structure, accountability, and compassion they provide is unmatched. I will forever be grateful to this team for helping me reach a goal that once felt impossible. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for everything you’ve done for me. This program means the world to me.

Fantastic experience: Coming from a long line of PTs and relative in the medical field. PT school was a roller coaster in itself. After finally graduating in the spring of 2024, I did not know how much of a beast the NPTE was going to be. After failing twice, I heard about the PT Hustle team, from a friend. I was blessed to get into the coaching program. For this Third attempt, Both Coach K and Nick were so helpful not only talking about material, but also improving myself physically, mentally, and emotionally along with test strategies. Through the coaching program I was able to finally close this chapter in my life, and making some great friends along the journey. I cannot thank them enough to finally seeing the pass symbol with their help!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about The PT Hustle. After struggling with the NPTE, I knew I needed more than just another prep course—and that’s exactly what I found here. Their holistic approach truly sets them apart. It wasn’t just about memorizing content; it was about understanding how to study, how to think like the NPTE, and how to manage the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual side of this process. They helped me rebuild my confidence, refine my study strategy, and actually feel supported instead of overwhelmed. The guidance was practical, encouraging, and tailored—not one-size-fits-all. For the first time, I felt like someone was looking at me as a whole person, not just a test score. Thanks to The PT Hustle, I finally passed the NPTE, and I’m genuinely grateful for the role they played in getting me there. If you’re feeling stuck, burnt out, or unsure how to move forward, I can’t recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: After failing my NPTE-PT exam twice, I felt like I had nothing left. Last minute I signed up for the PT Hustle's Coaching Program. The BEST investment I have ever made in my life. I was able to learn tricky topics better, study with other student's, work on my anxiety, and put more faith in myself. Coach K and Coach N worked very close with me every step of the way. I got my "PASSED" results today and felt like I was floating. My hard work paid off! I couldn't thank them more! If you have the resources to join this program or even just attend a bootcamp and the livestream Monday night classes, DO IT!

Fantastic experience: I have nothing but positive words for all the coaches and the system at PT Hustle. I failed my NPTE twice before coming into the program and I was losing hope. I didn't believe in myself anymore, but the coaches helped me switch my mindset and I had a new fire within me to beat this test. The biggest thing I learned is how much my health, mindset, and spirituality really formed how I take exams and my life. Because of PT Hustle, I have made lifestyle habits and changes that I will keep for life.

Fantastic experience: The Interventions Bootcamp was a great investment as a I took away a lot in terms of test taking strategies and still picked up on new information regarding important concepts. I also appreciate Coach K's enthusiasm and positivity.

Fantastic experience: Coach K is so enthusiastic and helps create a welcoming environment no matter where you are in your boards studying process. I also so appreciate the Christian approach to his motivation and the way he leads all of us through boot camps, courses, and his podcast! Investing time with PT Hustle has been very beneficial through my boards studying process and I would definitely recommend many resources the provide to aid in your sudying!!!

Fantastic experience: I am a HUGE fan of everything PT Hustle has to offer. Coach K is absolutely amazing. I started listening to his NPTE Clinical Files podcast during my first semester of PT school, and I have been loving his content ever since. I am scheduled to take my first (and hopefully last) NPTE in January of 2026, and thanks to the free podcast, the free FaceBook group, and the amazing Bootcamps, my confidence is increasing tremendously!

Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The best NPTE prep out there! Kyle Rice and The PT Hustle have truly transformed my NPTE journey. His podcast has helped me understand topics I struggled with, and his sense of humor makes studying so much more enjoyable. I also appreciate that he openly shares his faith in God—it helps me connect even more with his message and teaching style. I attended the online Boot Camp yesterday, and it was incredible. Kyle explains things in a way that finally clicks and gives you clear strategies to approach the exam with confidence. If you’re preparing for the NPTE, I can’t recommend The PT Hustle enough. Kyle genuinely cares about students, and it shows in everything he does. Thank you, Kyle!

Fantastic experience: I FINALLY PASSED THE NPTE! And the PT Hustle was a huge reason for that. TLDR: If you are looking for a program mainly for content, PT Hustle might not be for you and there are many cheaper content centered programs out there to maybe try first. BUT if you are looking for a program that is super personalized, gives you realistic study plans/schedules, increases confidence, decreases test anxiety, addresses many external test-taking factors and ALSO has tons and tons of resources for content, test strategies and practice questions, then this is the program for you. It is worth the money and they do payment plans if you can't pay all at once. (Note: I did the Coaching Program but they also offer a cheaper independent review program and PASS system program which are still great resources - check their website to see which one applies to your individual situation) My *short* testimony: The Coaching program changed my life and helped me finally pass the NPTE after failing it multiple times. It is different than other review courses as it focuses on things alongside content learning, like confidence, mindset, sleep, diet, faith/spirituality, and many other factors that affect test-taking. From the initial interview (with Coach K himself), to the 1 on 1 coaching sessions (with Coach Nick), to the personalized question help (Coach K would record a personalized videos explaining the practice test questions I had emailed him about), this program made me feel like they cared about me personally and that I mattered. Again, the price was a bit steeper than other review courses, but to me this program was worth it because it helped me fix my mindset for not only this test, but for how I live my life. Everything in this program was based on ME choosing to do something. They never checked on me unless I reached out, they never required attendance to the live classes, and if I needed help, I had to be the one to ask first. They just provided the resources and I had to use them. I didn't end up using all the resources that they provided (honestly that would've been impossible and too overwhelming) but I ended up choosing the tools that I found worked best for me (practice question club, 1 on 1 coaching, PASS System, to name a few), which is how I think the program is best utilized. It really gave me my power back and gave me the confidence to feel like I could actually do something for myself again. I now feel more prepared/confident to enter the work field, be a PT and not burn out as quickly as I would've if I had passed with any other program. Thank you PT Hustle and shout out Coach Nick and Coach K for really investing time and never giving up on me.

Fantastic experience: Thank you, PT Hustle, for believing in me when I couldn't believe in myself. I wouldn't have been able to overcome this obstacle without the help from Kyle and the team. They go above and beyond for students in the coaching program, and it is well worth the $ if you are struggling with the NPTE. The NPTE is a hard barrier to overcome, especially if you struggle with standardized testing as I did. I learned a lot about how to take tests and become better at understanding how the questions on the test were written. If you are on the fence about this program, don't be. The PT Hustle changed my life. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: After failing the NPTE once, Kyle Rice and the PT Hustle were a huge help to get me in position to pass on my second attempt. could not have passed without this program!

Fantastic experience: Best team out there! You will have all the support and guidance you need to pass your exam and feel confident leaving the exam. Just trust the process and yourself. Everything else falls into place with the PTHustle Team

Fantastic experience: I’ve never been someone who excels at standardized test-taking. What you’re entering through this course program is a community with a precise and personalized approach to identifying and addressing your weaknesses, just as they pinpointed mine in preparing for the NPTE. After completing this program, I now have the confidence to apply the strategies I learned here to any other standardized tests I may take in the future. I’ve experienced failure before, but Coach Nick and Coach K never gave up on me. Thanks to their guidance, I went from struggling to mastering the NPTE. When considering your options, I encourage you to place this program at the top of your list. Many programs focus primarily on profit rather than truly caring about their students. I’ve attended programs with 300+ students in one session, and that’s not a focused or personalized approach to your needs. PT Hustle is different. They intentionally select individuals who truly need help and prioritize small, cohort-based classes that provide undivided attention to your journey. You’ll never feel like just another student being rushed through topics and quizzes. PT Hustle has helped me immensely, and I’m deeply grateful for their commitment to student success.

Fantastic experience: A great group of people that helps you identify which areas you may need extra help and helps you focus on those areas. I studied less in quantity and more in quality which helped me dominate my studies and my exam. The Coaches are extremely willing to help and make themselves available. They are completely invested not only in your studies but your mind, soul, and physical health. The PT Hustle is a family that pushes you, challenges you and supports you until you cross that finish line TOGETHER. Look no further, this is the place to take that next step toward success.

Fantastic experience: I jointed the PT Hustle for my second attempt of the NPTE. I cannot put into words how much the PT Hustle helped me. The lectures through this program gave me a much better understanding and perspective of topics that I had never understood or didn't realize I did not fully understand. The weekly classes were so helpful and held me accountable for not only having quality study time (not quantity !!!) but also to take care of myself. The format for studying was super helpful for me and really allowed me to have a better understanding of topics. The cheatsheets are also super helpful to get a good summary of information without getting super overwhelmed. In addition, Coach K and his team were absolutely amazing at being there for everyone in the cohort. With the cohorts being smaller, it really felt like the team was able to fully listen to me and my concerns if I had any and this overall set a great tone for this second attempt. I am so thrilled to say that I passed the NPTE my second attempt and I truly owe it all to the PT Hustle

Fantastic experience: The PT Hustle was exactly what I needed to help me achieve a passing score on the NPTE! They took so much more than just content into consideration through their test prep! Wednesday lectures were probably my favorite because they focused on mindset and confidence! The program is very personalized, and all of the coaches are incredible!

Fantastic experience: I am deeply honored and thrilled to share that I am now a board-certified Physical Therapist! Thanks to the unwavering support of the PT Hustle family, I recently passed the NPTE. The program's approach is truly student-centered and holistic. Beyond exceptional content review, they provided crucial support in areas I hadn't realized I was missing: mindset, test-taking strategies, spirituality, and confidence-building. I honestly grew in ways I didn't think were possible, developing the motivation and endurance required for this exam. The entire team—Coach K, Coach Nick, and Sabrina—was consistently supportive and always available to answer my questions and concerns. Their encouragement gave me a deeper, more profound understanding of the material. I can confidently attest that Dr. Kyle Rice is highly skilled and proficient in helping students conquer the NPTE. Regardless of your current preparation level or previous attempts, he and the PT Hustle team will make it their mission to help you succeed. I wholeheartedly recommend this program.

Fantastic experience: My name is Anna and I’ve been trying to tackle this NPTE pass symbol for quite some time now. I struggled with my health early on through this process not only physically with a newly diagnosed autoimmune disease and at the time a mystery mass in my chest, but I also struggled with my mental health as well.. The PTH not only has amazing content, but they also have the most loving and supportive community of people. They truly got me through some of the hardest times in my life and I wouldn’t have been able to get where I am now, currently job searching and ready to see what this next chapter has in store for me! #trusttheprocess

Fantastic experience: I can't begin to explain how thankful I am for the PT Hustle team. It not only helped me with understanding topics, but they made me feel loved and cared for. It sounds corny, but they all truly do care about getting you to pass. It's not all about academics, its about taking care of yourself. I made it over the finish line because of you guys and I am forever grateful.

Fantastic experience: Coach K and the PT Hustle team are amazing. They do such a good job at instilling confidence and belief in yourself that will carry you beyond just passing an exam, but as a PT and a human being in general. The coaching program feels so personal, you just feel the passion the team has for doing this and it is infectious. They take your hand and guide you through each step of the way, and are with you through every high or low. I would not have gotten to this point of starting a career without them, especially when I was about ready to hang up the towel after multiple failed attempts. I am so glad to have found PT Hustle, I am so thankful for the work they do, and most importantly that they do it to glorify God.

Fantastic experience: The NPTE Crash Course was a big help during the last few weeks leading up to the exam. It had common concepts expected to be covered on the exam. I used the lecture videos to review the topics. My favorite part about the videos was the opportunities for active recall. Active recall helped me feel more confident at the end of a study session. I also followed up with the quizzes to practice study strategies and as a knowledge check. I would definitely recommend this resource for those preparing for the NPTE.

Fantastic experience: This program helped my achieve my goals in ways that I never thought I would. Failing my first NPTE really set me back because it felt as if all of the plans that I made had to be discontinued or put on pause. PT Hustle really helped me not only improve my knowledge in content but also my confidence in myself and my abilities as well as improve other areas in my life. There really is so much more to this exam than just content and I appreciate this coaching program for helping navigate through this obstacle of an exam.

Fantastic experience: Coach K and his staff is top notch! Something that felt impossible became possible through recentering myself through mindset, spirituality, and health. I'm so thankful for finding PT Hustle and taking the leap to the rest of my life. Not only did I come out on top with a PASS screen, I have learned so much more about myself and have became overall a better person for my patients and family. Take the leap, I promise you will not regret it!

Fantastic experience: How do I even begin? If you’re a foreign-trained physical therapist wrestling with U.S. standardized exams, hear me out. You don’t just need content—you need a program that strengthens your mindset, spirit, health, and strategy. For me, that key was PT Hustle. I took the NPTE 5 times and failed. Then life shifted: two babies back-to-back, five years of believing my dream had died. One night, in the middle of my struggle, I called the PT Hustle team and asked, “Is my door closed?” Without hesitation, they opened it. They poured belief into me until I could dream again. Best decision of my life. This process changed me in ways I didn’t expect. I learned strategies and mindsets I’ll pass on to my children for their own academic journeys. Coach K isn’t just extremely knowledgeable—he’s resourceful and relentless. He pushes you into the arena with the lions, and you walk out stronger. I left every class feeling like I’d leveled up. The entire team—Coach Nick included—became exactly the support I needed to finally pass. I grew up thinking I had to study alone. This program pulled me out of my comfort zone every single day. And guess what? The results you want don’t live in your comfort zone. It took five attempts to learn I thrive in teams and with a good challenge (not in a cutthroat environment). I’ve tried nearly every PT study program out there—four, plus one that doesn’t even exist anymore. I can say with confidence: PT Hustle is the one. Trust the process. Have faith. Miracles happen every day. I’m living proof.

Fantastic experience: PT Hustle's Coaching Program was pivotal with my success at passing the NPTE the first time. I was not able to go it alone, finding that each practice exam was ramping up the anxiety and my personal study structure was ineffective. One constant that I used prior to signing up was the podcast w/question analysis. Coach K's delivery and knowledge resonated, improving my understanding and confidence. PT Hustle's team are very efficient and provide daily support, data-focused changes that are self-driven w/coaching, plus video and still reproducibles for study. Any questions I had were responded to in a timely manner. Accountability with a schedule and goals helped me to stay on track. Regular coaching with both Coaches K and Nick, too, helped me when I was unsure. Tiers addressing mind-set, spirituality and health helped to create a holistic approach to the studying process. All necessary tiers to ensure an even approach to every question with a sound mind and body. I cannot thank them enough!

Fantastic experience: This program got me to my passing score. I could not have done it without the support of both Coach Nick and Coach K. I was on my 5th attempt and I was able to finally cross that finish line. From their holistic approach, test taking strategies and deep understanding of the content, every aspect of this method works if you trust and believe in it. I didn't only become a better test taker and smarter therapist, but I also learned hoe to trust myself in deeper ways than before. Thank you PT Hustle! #IWILLWIN #IWON

Fantastic experience: PT Hustle is truly amazing and I wish I found them a lot sooner in my study process for the NPTE. I've always struggled with test taking skills and I've always been a fast test taker. Dr. Rice/Coach K and his team helped me find test taking skills that truly helped me slow down and process ALL of the information. My first PEAT score was a 540 and after talking with Sabrina, then a one-on-one session with Coach K, I was able to raise my score to a 639. PT Hustle is truly amazing and eye opening to untapped potential.

Fantastic experience: I sent my scores over to Coach K and his team and received immediate response! I also attended the Bootcamp! It was great! We went over the big 3, how to approach the questions, and keywords to use for specific diagnoses. We closed the session in prayer which was a bonus!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Kyle Rice and his team at the PT hustle have been such a blessing as I prepare for the NPTE this upcoming April. He consolidate and explain the necessary information required to be successful for the exam. Very grateful for this program in guiding me through my studies.

Fantastic experience: I am forever grateful for PT Hustle. The entire staff is everything you could've asked for. If you are struggling to pass the NPTE this program is a perfect fit no matter the type of student you are. I began PT Hustle after my 1st failed attempted. By the grace of God I passed on my 3rd attempt. It is incredible hard to put into words what PT Hustle means to me, my family, and every other individual who has been privileged to experience. They help with content, test strategies, to various health domains. Coach K always had the best insider tips which absolutely was on the NPTE. Coach K always brought the energy! To speak for myself, Coach K led me to find my faith. At the end of the day we all have the ability, we wouldn't be this far w/o it. Before you advance in life you need to regain perspective. Not to only mention Coach K, the entire staff is a gods gift. I am so thankful for PT Hustle. It is more than just passing this exam it is about being the best version of yourself while fulfilling your purpose on earth. God Bless, Future PT Hustle HERO!!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Making the impossible, possible. Thats what it feels like when I look at my PASSED NPTE symbol. I graduated 17 years ago in 2008 with a master degree in PT! I honestly thought I had no chance of passing this exam. But like the story of Roger Bannister breaking the 4 minute mile (please look up this valuable life lesson if you haven't heard of it), I just needed to know that someone before me had accomplished it. Kyle connected me to a previous PT Hustle student who had graduated in 1996 and had passed the NPTE just a few years ago. I signed up for Kyles program with the intention of taking the exam in 6 months. I spent 3 months watching his lectures over and over again, followed his program exactly how he asks you to and decided to take the exam just 14 weeks after I signed up for PT Hustle. After 17 years of not seeing this material, I was able to pass the exam with a 679! I could not have done it without Kyles program. He condenses down the information that you NEED to study and teaches you not just WHAT to study but HOW to take the exam. So grateful for the PT Hustle!

Fantastic experience: This Program was worth more than I could ever imagine. I found the program after failing the NPTE five times missing passing by 3 to 6 points each time. I was at my all time low, but when I came across this group on facebook I thought what do I have to lose and MAN WAS IT a LIFE CHANGER!!! I was in the program a bit longer due to several health issues and unexpected changes, but they stuck with me and never gave up on me. They taught me more in this program than I learned in physical therapy school and helped me develop skills to not only pass the NPTE but to DOMINATE it on my sixth attempt. I grew as a clinician and as a person learning to correct my mindset both for tests and for life situations and how to be the best version of myself as a whole. Coach K, Nick, Sabrina, Matt and Andrea were amazing! They are always available and put in the effort to make sure you truly understand the material and are mentally and spiritually prepared for the exam and life. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is preparing for the NPTE even if it is your first attempt. It will change your life and give you the tools you need to pass the exam. I appreciate all the help the program has given me and for connecting me with the best study partner I have ever had!! Michelle was a huge part of why I passed this last attempt as she stuck with me just like Coach K and the team did even though she passed in October 2024. She was influential in making sure I accomplished every goal I set for myself as an accountability partner, but she also went out of her way to build my confidence and improve my mindset by sending me positive affirmations and prayers daily. Between her help and the meetings with coach Nick I felt like I truly blossomed into a more confident person. I truly hope Michelle is afforded the opportunity to continue to help others the way she helped me and Carlie pass the NPTE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CHANGING MY LIFE AND HELPING ME OBTAIN THIS MONUMENTAL GOAL!!!!!

Fantastic experience: I will forever plug PT Hustle to anyone who struggles with standardized testing and/or overcoming the NPTE! When I found PT Hustle I was struggling with not understanding how to move forward after a failed attempt, however by trusting the process and fully immersing myself within their coaching program, here I am 6 months later, a licensed Physical Therapist. The holistic coaching approach is everything you might not know you need yet, by aligning multiple domains within my life I was able to completely change my mindset and confidence in just a few months. Both Coach K and Coach Nick were very attentive to what I needed to be successful and I always felt supported by the entire team, and I could not be more thankful. The day you decide to enter the PT Hustle coaching program, is the day you take a giant step towards the life you want. Thanks coaches for everything!!! PT hustle is totally worth it!!!

Fantastic experience: The PT Hustle crash course was incredibly helpful, especially in clarifying challenging topics like abnormal gait, prosthetic gait, and wound/dressing types. Kyle broke down gait deviations step-by-step, making it easy to understand the biomechanics, common causes, and clinical implications. His explanation of prosthetic gait patterns was especially clear—linking each deviation to possible prosthetic issues or patient factors. The wound care section was equally strong, with practical distinctions between dressing types, when to use them, and how to match them to specific wound presentations. The teaching style was straightforward, clinically relevant, and focused on what you’ll actually see in practice and on the NPTE.

Fantastic experience: I had taken the NPTE 3 times previously after partaking in many of the other more frequently brought up courses, and didn't succeed in passing. I took this class at the recommendation of one of my professors from PT school after becoming nervous about not passing. From the start, I knew this class was better. The more personalized videos and instructions helped me immensely when reviewing material once again. I had found that the program itself helped me not just with the general material on the exam, but also helped me understand test taking strategies that I had not previously considered when taking the exam previously. I was able to apply these strategies to practice exams provided by the program and found myself doing better and better on each subsequent attempt. I'm thrilled to report that the 4th time taking the NPTE was a huge success and I certainly attribute much of my success to this program. I highly recommend this program to anyone that is having trouble with the NPTE and wants a more personalized experience.

Fantastic experience: The PT Hustle is the Truth!! Everything is so personalized and tailored to your needs in order for you to succeed. Coach K does a great job with coaching you through how to prepare for the NPTE and dominate. Coach Nick helps with making sure you have a great mindset when preparing for the NPTE. It’s not just about the content but about balancing the other domains (a holistic approach). The PTHustle is always there for you when you have questions and will relate your questions back to text. The PTHustle isn’t just a program it’s a family. They want to see you succeed!! I highly recommend The PThustle and NPTE Clinical Files Coach K you are a blessing to all. Thank you

Positive experience: My journey to become a licensed Physical Therapist in the US was largely influenced by the PT Hustle Team led by Coach K. As a Foreign-trained PT with no experience with standardized tests and after long years of graduation with clinical experience, the challenges were almost insurmountable but thanks to the PT Hustle team with the Holistic Approach( Content, Physicality, Mindset, test-taking skills and Spirituality Domains) made me achieve my dream of dominating the NPTE. So super grateful that I am now a licensed PT, I strongly recommend PT Hustle Coaching for all PTs, especially foreign-trained PTs, your success rate is higher and faster.

Fantastic experience: When I started this journey, I thought PT hustle was just another program that would help me pass the NPTE. As I am closing this chapter and preparing to enter the profession, I realize it was never just about passing the test. It was about fostering the faith, discipline, and commitment needed to continually push toward any goal, day after day. Pt hustle helped me gain the foundation to dominate this test and life itself. If you're just looking for a cookie-cutter program, save your money and go elsewhere. If you're looking for a program that will lead you on a journey that might not be easy but is purpose-driven and recentering and pushes you to become the best version of yourself that is not only equipped to dominate the exam but also goes on to dominate life and this profession, then you're in the right place. I could not thank the PT hustle team and the study partners that I had along the way enough for helping me find, see, and bring out the version of myself that the people around me have always told me was inside of me. Oh, and I also PASSED!!!

Fantastic experience: PT Grads! If you don’t know where to start studying for the NPTE, PT Hustle will guide the way for you! I had been listening to their podcast for a few months and used the study sheets for guidance. With PT Hustle’s guidance, motivation, and encouragement- I was able to pass the NPTE on my first attempt! I couldn’t have done it without PT Hustle’s podcasts, study sheets, and more!

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful for the PT Hustle and Coach K for all of the wisdom and guidance they provided me throughout my preparation for the NPTE. Their expertise and encouragement helped me pass the NPTE confidently. Coach K helped me improve in my test-taking strategies and gain confidence in my abilities to dominate the NPTE. I highly recommend the PT Hustle to any new grad or PT student looking to improve the quality of their studying and interpretation skills to dominate the NPTE!

Fantastic experience: Kyle and his team at the PT Hustle are one of a kind! I reached out to them for support after failing my first NPTE attempt while 35 weeks pregnant with our first baby, knowing my next attempt would be at 6 weeks postpartum. I already had a job lined up to begin after taking maternity leave and needed my NPTE to be complete before returning to work. I spoke with Kyle within 16 hours of finding out I had failed my first attempt, and he helped create a tailored program specifically for me. Kyle met with me on a weekly basis to make sure I felt good with my confidence calendar and to make adjustments as needed. Navigating being a first-time mom with a newborn and studying for the NPTE seemed impossible, but Kyle and the PT Hustle team empowered and supported me every step of the way. The PT Hustle gave me a new perspective on how to prepare for the NPTE, focusing on my health, mindset, and spirituality first, then concentrating on content and test-taking strategies. As I progressed through Kyle's program, I saw my practice test scores rise drastically, my confidence grow, and new test strategies specific to the NPTE that were working; all while adjusting to a family of three, taking care of a newborn, and studying for 2-3 hours per day. I'm proud to report I passed my NPTE on the second attempt! The PT Hustle Team is like no other prep program you can find; they don't just care about checking the boxes to get you to the NPTE, they want to support you in every aspect of your journey to make you most successful. They provide weekly accountability check-ins, live classes, thousands of on-demand lectures, test strategies, practice tests, and a true support system to get you to the NPTE with confidence! I would recommend this program to anyone prepping for their NPTE, whether that is the first attempt or more. Trust The PT Hustle Process, they are brilliant! Thank you, PT Hustle, all the glory to God!

Fantastic experience: PT Hustle was incredibly helpful in my NPTE journey! From the start, they worked with me to create a personalized study plan that was tailored to my strengths and weaknesses. Their coaching helped me stay focused and efficient with my time, which made a huge difference. What really stood out was how thorough their teaching approach was. They didn’t just give surface-level content—they broke down complex topics in a way that made them easier to understand and remember. I felt like I truly understood the material, not just memorized it. After struggling with my first attempt of the NPTE, I felt so much more confident going into the exam on my second attempt with PT Hustle’s support. Their guidance, encouragement, and structured plan helped me approach the NPTE with a new mindset and ultimately PASS. I’m so grateful for their help!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend The PT Hustle’s bootcamps!!! I truly enjoyed myself through the active review and gaining tips on various diagnoses/impairments and test taking strategies for NPTE preparation!!! Thank you Coach K and the PT Hustle team!!!

Fantastic experience: To make a long story short PT hustle helped me to find my confidence. They allowed me to realize my full potential and abilities so i could translate that into a mindset of domination, leading me to pass the NPTE on my 5th attempt. Coach K and Coach nick will forever have a lasting impression on my life and how i have changed my mindset for the better. Thank you PT HUSTLE!!!

Fantastic experience: My studying for the NPTE was no stroll in the park. I had many failed attempted at this exam while balancing being a new mom, and wife all while studying was a lot at once. I had tried other programs and study books before but I kept falling short. I discovered PT Hustle and with the help of Coach K and Coach Nick I was able to fine tune and work on my weaknesses. They were able to help me look at the big picture, not just content. I needed positive energy, confidence and to take care of my own well being to br able to pass this exam and they were able to provide me with keys to unlock all these areas. Coach K explains and covers all the NPTE content so well I told my husband that I wish I had his voice in my head throughout PT school to better understand some of these topics. This program really was worth it and helped me pass the NPTE and finally move forward with my life! So glad this program existed to help those who feel a bit lost and need some extra guidance and push

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend the PT Hustle highly enough. After YEARS.. yes YEARS.. of feeling defeated and overwhelmed by the sheer volume of material on the NPTE, Coach K and Coach Nick provided the structure, clarity, and support I needed to succeed. Thanks to them program, I FINALLY passed my exam after 5 years and MANY attempts. The content was incredibly well-organized and comprehensive, covering all the key systems and concepts tested on the exam. The video lectures, and practice questions were spot-on—not only did they reinforce my understanding, but they also helped me learn how to think like the exam. I especially appreciated the clear explanations behind the answers, which helped deepen my critical thinking and test-taking strategies. What really set this course apart, though, was the support. Whether it was through live sessions, or email guidance, I always felt like I had a knowledgeable team behind me. They were encouraging and genuinely invested in my success. Prior to starting with the PT Hustle, I had tried about 90% of the NPTE prep courses out there.. and it just wasn’t on the level that I needed. So there I was, defeated and unsure if PT was right for me. But after a few months with Coach K and Coach Nick, my confidence and motivation was growing and I finally felt capable of passing the exam. If you’re preparing for the NPTE and want a resource that is both thorough and motivating, THE PT HUSTLE IS IT. It literally made all the difference for me, and I’m so grateful for this team!

Fantastic experience: Coach K, just want to say thank you once again for everything you do for the PT Hustle community. I am so glad that I found your podcast while still in PT school. If it wasn’t for The PT Hustle, I wouldn’t have passed my PEAT exam which was a part of graduating my program. If it wasn’t for The PT Hustle, I wouldn’t have been able to really comprehend some of the most complex topics that always gave me trouble in school. Even though I fell short on my 1st attempt, I went into this 2nd attempt with the utmost confidence that I was going to pass. I seriously can’t thank you and your team enough. I felt like I studied a lot less this time around and I went into this exam feeling spiritually, physically, and mentally stronger. I am truly grateful. God is good

Fantastic experience: Coach K, Coach Nic, and the rest of the PTHustle family are all around amazing people! The programs approach is like no other study source and I am a firm believer of it. Because of it I was able to dominate the NPTE on my 3rd attempt. So if you want to dominate the NPTE, this is the way to go!! Much love PTHUSTLE FAM!

Fantastic experience: I was so fortunate to be a part of the Coaching Program and I must say how helpful it truly was to my boards experience. From being helpless and feeling like there was nothing left for me to do to pass to passing with flying colors on my latest attempt. Coach K and Coach Nick really helped me find my weaknesses and made them into strengths! If you have any sort of testing anxiety or trouble with self doubt and feelings of failure than this should be your next stop on your PT/PTA journey. I'm forever grateful for their tutelage and inspiring words.

Fantastic experience: My experience with the PT Hustle was nothing short of life changing! I went from a 488 on my first attempt to passing my second attempt after using The PT Hustle. Coach K is devoted to helping all students reach their dreams of becoming a licensed physical therapist. The review program helped me dial in my weak areas and address all aspects of standardized test taking! Can’t thank Coach K and the rest of the staff enough!

Fantastic experience: After I failed my NPTE for a second time, a family friend recommended the PT Hustle Coaching Program after her own success, so I got in contact with the PT Hustle family a few days later. I was so upset and angry at myself that I could not see myself passing this exam. Coach K and the rest of the PT Hustle family showed me ways to approach test questions in ways I never thought about and really emphasized the importance of working on your mental health, physical health and spirituality which I have to say made a HUGE difference the third time around. Not only did I PASS on my third attempt, but I also saw an 86 point increase between attempts in just 3 months. This program saved me in so many ways and every student in the coaching program was so motivated and understanding of each other which made the entire journey worth it. I cannot recommend this program more!

Fantastic experience: The PT Hustle was worth every penny! I cannot express enough how much this program helped me! The strategies for how to study were unlike ones I have previously been taught. The contact provided in lectures was top notch and easy to comprehend. Instead of getting caught up in the details Coach K provided the key differences between each differential diagnosis. The structure provided in the courses is great for type A people. Coach K literally walks you through a formula for how often to study and perform practice questions as well as dedicating time to other domains of health, mindset, and spirituality. The support from the community is incomparable to other test companies I have tried in the past. Having both an accountability partner and a study group to go over practice questions was everything. I constantly felt supported. The weekly class sessions held me accountable and ensured I stayed on top of my plan. Overall I feel like I put in less hours studying and so many more benefits were accomplished. If you are on the fence about doing this program let me be the one to tell you to take the leap! After two failed attempts, I was finally able to accomplish my dream of a pass symbol on my third attempt! I 100% believe I could not have done it without the PT Hustle Coaching Program! I can truly say I walked into the exam weeks before feeling confident that I would pass thanks to this program's focus on improving mindset and confidence!

Fantastic experience: PT Hustle’s Practice Question Club (PQC) was a valuable resource in my boards prep! PQC has a hub of mini lecture series on how to interpret and go about answering exam questions with multiple examples from every domain you will encounter on the NPTE. It also provides mini series on test taking challenges such as overthinking, second guessing, test anxiety, endurance, and time management. For me, endurance was one of my biggest obstacles that led to missed questions on practice tests, but the tips from PQC helped me improve my energy management and kept me going on exam day especially after the adrenaline crash haha—it certainly contributed to passing the NPTE (thankfully on the first attempt). Definitely worth considering the PQC as a supplementary resource if you want to improve your test taking skills and get a better understanding of the types of questions you will encounter on the NPTE. *Make sure you have an effective plan for getting a solid knowledge base during your studying, and PQC will be a good complement to that! Hope this helps! Cheers!

Fantastic experience: After failing the NPTAE 3 times, I prayed for help, and searched for months trying to find the right program for me. It couldn’t just be a “Cookie-Cutter”, One size fits all program. I knew how to treat patients because my clinical evaluations were amazing, but my test-taking skills didn’t match my ability to care for people. Discouraged, I paused my career to care for my family, and 13 years later I found PT HUSTLE. My journey to being licensed was a real Leap of Faith, and now after passing the NPTE here’s why PT HUSTLE was an asset to my success. Many are called “Coach”, but few are chosen to actually embody the title. Dr. Rice, Nick, and the Behind the Scenes Team earns the respect of being called “Coach K” and “Coach Nick” because they’ve created an environment for achieving the goal of becoming a licensed PT or PTA. At PT HUSTLE, it’s not just a job for them, but a commitment to serve you completely in the content and mindset that’s required to pass the exam. In the process, you become a better person as well as a better clinician. You, your family, and career are worth the investment in the PT Hustle coaching program. #DOMINATE #TTFI

Fantastic experience: The PT HUSTLE and staff have been amazing. They are always attentive to my questions and concerns. The program is amazing with clear content review and study path to follow. They all genuinely care if I pass the NPTE or not and will stop at nothing to help me get there. True teachers.

Fantastic experience: Thank you PT Hustle! I couldn't have done it without your guidance. This program not only helped me DOMINATE the NPTE but also gave me confidence in my personal and professional life. I used other prep courses but still failed the NPTE 3 times.I would 100% recommend PT Hustle to anyone struggling with passing this exam.

Fantastic experience: I wanna start this review by saying that 5 stars out of 5 is not enough a good rating for PT Hustle. This company deserve way more, so much more that is even hard to put in words for a review. Like so many before myself, I first encountered PT Hustle in the form of the "NPTE Clinical Files", the podcast series and I really fell in love right away with how professor Kyle (Coach K for his students) breaks down and explains correct rationales for navigating NPTE-based questions. However, it wasn't until I failed my board exam twice (moreover with the same exact score, as if to show me that all those extra months of study were for absolute nothing) that I decided that I needed to do things differently, because clearly, what I was doing wasn't working. When I reached out to the program, I immediately felt greated in very differently from other companies that I tried before PT Hustle. Right off the bat, I realize that what separates the Hustle from the others, is the fact that is not just a company but a COMMUNITY. Everything is done with the goal of not just helping single students, but rather the community of students as a whole. Kyle's (Coach K for his students) imprinting on the program is one guided by holistic approach, considering what students need to perform at their best but not just limiting at the study perspective. Students receive (when requested) guidance at 360° degrees, ranging from study content to nutritional, physiological, mental and even spiritual advice. Everything is carefully tailored to help everybody's need. Of all the facets of this program, the one that I probably enjoyed the most, was the mental coaching part. While content and test strategies are perfectly delivered by Coach K, the mental coaching part is taken care by Coach Nick, a true legend that always know what to say to pick yourself up from the many struggles of this exam and get up to continue the fight. I could continue writing about this program for several more hours but the description that I'm trying to picture, still wouldn't give justice. I owe everything I learned in this last year and half to this program, from so many perspectives, not just my NPTE success story. I left my heart in this community that so much gave me and that I hope to keep repay by stay engaged within. In summary, if you decide to make the important investment to get your spot in this community, I can promise you that not only you won't regret the many spent but also, you'll find much more than you're looking for. I wish you all the best.

Fantastic experience: The bootcamp was incredibly practical and efficient. The sessions were engaging and thorough, with Coach K addressing every question and choice in detail to help narrow down the correct answers. He provided valuable tips and tricks to avoid common test traps, which were extremely helpful. The in-depth rationales he provided, along with allowing time for questions, ensured a solid understanding while still keeping to the schedule. Additionally, the Jeopardy game added a fun and interactive element to the bootcamp. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: I purchased the coaching program, and it was the best choice for my NPTE journey. The course offers great coaches and a fantastic support team. They focus on coaching beyond just the content, making it a very comprehensive learning experience. I 100% recommend it!

Fantastic experience: PT Hustle has saved my PT education to prepare me for the board exam. Coach K is personal, has a ton of energy and will answer your questions. The program teaches you how to breakdown and understand each question and different ways of answering even if you're unsure. It will build your confidence and raise your grade for sure.

Fantastic experience: I am so blessed for my PT Hustle fam, especially for Coach K and Coach Nick!!! The PT Hustle Coaching Program was a life changing experience! I had previously failed the NPTE twice not because of lack of knowledge or content but because of lack of confidence and self-doubt. I joined the PT Hustle Coaching Program while preparing for my third attempt, and in 3 months I was able to turn my score from failing to passing!!! The things that I changed this third time around was that I heavily focused more on changing my mindset by scheduling one-on-one calls with Coach K and Coach Nick. I also focused on exercising more by doing the things I enjoy, such as dance, pilates, and yoga. Lastly, I focused on building a stronger connection with God to heal spiritually from previous hardships and to lean on him for guidance. I didn’t realize how important these three domains (mindset, health, and spirituality) were towards helping me achieve my goal of passing the NPTE until I joined the PT Hustle Coaching Program. Thank you so much Coach K and Coach Nick for not only helping me achieve this goal, but for helping me become an even better PT and for changing my life!!!

Fantastic experience: The PT hustle was just what I needed to pass the NPTE and gain my confidence back after failing twice before. The instructors as well as Dr. Rice really care about their students and make it a point to give you all you need in order to succeed. Would highly recommend if you struggle with test taking and if you are looking for a community that knows exactly what it is like to not pass the NPTE the first time.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend PT Hustle enough! After taking the NPTE three times, I was struggling with confidence and feeling like I would never pass. But on my last two attempts, both with PT Hustle, I achieved my highest scores ever – and on the fifth try, I finally passed! This coaching program didn’t just provide study tips; they built me up as a person. They helped me develop reassurance strategies that boosted my confidence and made me feel that what I was doing was enough for ME and MY JOURNEY. They gave me constant reminders of my "why" for becoming a PT, which fueled my motivation to keep pushing forward with them and the other Hustle Heroes. They made sure I had the tools, tips, and resources—like study guides, videos, and more—to remember even the trickiest material. What really sets them apart is how they treat you like family. I never felt alone on this journey—they were always in my corner, supporting me every step of the way. If I needed a call, Nick was there to hype me up. If I needed to talk through testing strategies or managing my endurance, especially when I missed big chunks of questions, Coach K was there to help reassure my thought process while making me more careful with my selections. They truly became my people. If you're looking for more than just a study program and want a team that genuinely cares about your success and well-being, PT Hustle is where you need to be. I’m forever grateful for their guidance and support. Thank you for helping me turn a dream into reality!

Fantastic experience: The PT Hustle program, along with the coaches and staff were extremely helpful in the process, leading up to the NPTE and ultimately passing on my third attempt. The program is comprehensive and covers a vast variety of topics with videos, helpful downloads, slideshows, and guides that all helped propel me past the mark needed to pass. Coach K is knowledgeable and compassionate and extremely helpful in all content areas. Which allowed me to improve consistently on practice test exams. Nick is a go-getter and awesome mindset coach. Which helped keep my mind in the right place leading up to the test. If there’s anybody struggling with test preparation, testing anxiety, content, or anything even closely related to the NPTE, I would 100% recommend PT Hustle.

Fantastic experience: The PT Hustle team is second to none in helping you be completely prepared to walk in and dominate the NPTE. So many of us wonderful PTs fail this exam, not because we don't know the content, but because we don't know how to take a standardized exam. PT Hustle breaks it down and teaches you how to take a standardize exam and how to figure out what the test making is actually asking you. If you need content there is also hundreds of hours of content put together in ways that make it so easy to remember. I highly recommend this program to everyone who is about to take the NPTE, whether it be for the first time or after a failed attempt.

Fantastic experience: When I think about my experience with PT Hustle, I think about positivity, comradery, and friendship. This coaching program gave me the keys to success for my entire life, not just the NPTE. They have a holistic approach to passing the test that takes care of you. If you need help, all you have to do is ask. I was struggling with a particular area of questions and Coach K made a video that prepared me to get multiple questions right on the exam. When my mindset needed improved, Coach Nick was their with multiple nuggets of wisdom. Without them and my study group, I don't know if I would have passed this time around. HOWEVER. I PASSED AND YOU'RE NEXT. Trust the process and have fun with it. THANK YOU AGAIN COACHES AND CREW!

Fantastic experience: The coaching program truly changed my life. Not only did they help me tackle the NPTE and finally see that "Passed" symbol allowing me to begin my career as a physical therapist - but they also allowed me the space I needed to grow into who I truly am with unending support. Forever grateful for them!

Fantastic experience: The PF Hustle team is a God send. They truly are passionate about their program and ultimate goal is to help the future PTs of the world. Their perspective on exam strategies and drive to push students cannot be compared to any other program. It felt personalized and provided opportunities to really speak your concerns and fears which was greeted with kindness and understanding. Thank you PTH, you have changed my life for the better.

Fantastic experience: PT Hustle was by far the most comprehensive NPTE prep program I came across. I was struggling to review all the content and still keep up with life's demands, but Coach K and Nick covered it all! From content to motivational support, 1-on-1 meetings, weekly live classes and endless content classes. What helped me the most was the holistic approach. It was a true game changer for me.

Fantastic experience: I am someone who struggled with the GRE and SAT’s growing up. Before joining the course I was scoring in the low 500’s but trusted that this prep course would get me to where I needed to be. This was worth every penny and I felt more confident than any other standardized test I’ve ever taken. They are the real deal, and you get what you put into this course. Thank you so much PT hustle team!

Fantastic experience: Coach K and the team may very well have the best coaching program for those struggling with passing the NPTE. They have implemented such powerful concepts that go beyond the content and really help to shape potential examinees to thrive and succeed! They will work with you throughout the span of your test and beyond, and they will move mountains to help you feel ready to conquer this test.

Fantastic experience: PT Hustle is an amazing program! The community that is built within this program helps to further encourage students to succeed not only on the NPTE but throughout their entire clinical career. Thank you again for the wonderful work that you do! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I called Kyle Rice at the PT Hustle the day after finding out I didn’t pass the NPTE and it was the best decision I made as I passed the second time around! The PT Hustle provided me with a community with no judgement, only positivity, and friends that I’ll have for a lifetime. Kyle and Nick helped me maintain a sense of sanity and that’s something I wouldn’t have gotten elsewhere. It’s an investment worth it for the lifelong change they make!

Fantastic experience: This coaching program is a God-send for all students who not only struggle with large standardize test but truly desire to be the best version of themselves just prior to starting their career in physical therapy. If I could describe My journey to passing the NPTE was a marathon which I only knew one way of training for...study endless hours and hope that i could recall all needed information on the big day. This belief/mentality stem from what was often expressed in students that came from the Chicago public school system "They don't typically test well". Still, I pressed forward and eventually got into PT school and graduated. However, I still had that "study till death mentality"....Needless to say I initially wasn't successful in my first attempt. Fortunately, my failure led me to the PT hustle coaching program. Coach K and his team ( special shoutout to Coach Nick!) guided me how to organize my focus on content. They also introduced me to effective test strategies while advising me to take up a new mentality that would not only improve my ability to take the exam but to be a better version of myself afterwards. Prior to them, I did not do well on standardize exams, and I often struggled with confidence when attempting to taking any. Through this program I gained the confidence I lacked. Furthermore, my practice test scores improved, and more importantly I reestablished and built up my inner spiritual peace/connection with God. I sit today with endless thanks for the structure, lessons, empathy, tough love, humor, and overall therapeutic guidance provided by this team and the community they helped me find as well. I can go forward now with the lessons I've gain and continue to grow the best version of myself as a licensed physical therapist.

Fantastic experience: Despite failing every single practice test, I passed the NPTE on my fourth attempt with the help of Coach K, Coach Nick, and of course, by God's grace. The 'Pass system' in this program was amazing in helping me control my anxiety, get into the right mindset, and realize the importance of working on my spiritual domain. I really wish I had joined this course earlier instead of wasting time, energy, and money on other courses. I can't thank the coaches enough for all their help!

Fantastic experience: After struggling with test taking my entire academic career, I didn’t know where to turn after graduating from PT school. My struggles stemmed from the lack of confidence in myself and my abilities as well as comparing myself to others. Coach K, Coach Nick & everyone at the PT Hustle are AMAZING at what they do for students! Not only are they so knowledgeable and dedicated to teaching the NPTE concepts, they are compassionate, empathetic and understanding people that know what students go through. They listen to your specific needs and give you a detailed, tailored approach to lay out exactly what is needed for you to achieve success on the NPTE. During this process, the team’s homes were hit by TWO different hurricanes in Florida and they did not miss a single beat. They continued to show up each scheduled class, were taking questions, meetings, and more behind the scenes. This shows how dedicated they truly are to helping and serving the students in this community. I have learned so much more than content throughout this process, as there’s so much more that goes into taking a National Exam like the NPTE, and you are taught all of this. If it was not for the PT Hustle, I would not be a licensed clinician today! I truly believe that, and I cannot be more grateful for the service they provide. This is more than just a prep course, it is a community of people who have undergone similar experiences/struggles, and multiple attempts on the NPTE. Community is KEY! Thank you PT Hustle for EVERYTHING. I am so extremely grateful.

Fantastic experience: Coach K and the PT hustle team are amazing!!! The support I felt from them during this stressful time of studying for the NPTE is unmatched. I would highly recommend using this program if you need to dig deeper with content and gain test strategies in the process! Thank you so much!!

Fantastic experience: Early on in my preparation, I felt like I needed to tackle everything in one day to feel like I was “on track.” Despite trying to adjust my mindset and approach, I found myself consuming more and more information, which ultimately led to frustration and limited retention. That’s when I realized I needed a better strategy. A close friend recommended PT Hustle, and joining the program turned out to be the best decision I made during this journey. From day one in the PT Hustle Coaching Program, I felt more in control and organized, with a clear strategy to manage my daily and weekly schedule while still maintaining a healthy lifestyle. There were definitely moments of feeling overwhelmed, but PT Hustle was always there. They’d jump on a call to help put things into perspective, easing my stress. Trusting the program was essential, especially since breaking old study habits is often harder than building new ones. The following aspects were key in helping me succeed: Organized Scheduling: Structuring my daily and weekly topics gave me a sense of confidence, knowing I didn’t need to overload my brain all at once. PT Hustle Lectures: The lecture videos were invaluable for gaining clarity on complex topics. They focused on the essentials, which saved me hours that would have been spent sifting through dense textbooks. Daily Practice Questions: Practicing daily questions allowed me to understand how test-makers approach questions, which helped me feel more prepared and less overwhelmed on exam day. Coach K’s Guidance: Coach K’s strategies on how to approach each question helped me pull important information to avoid simple mistakes and make informed decisions when facing difficult questions. Overall, being a part of PT Hustle was a true blessing in this learning process. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone studying for the NPTE.

Fantastic experience: Coach K and the PT Hustle team are truly amazing! They helped guide me and support me through my journey as I studied for the NPTE. Thanks to them, I was able to pass the test on the first try and go in the testing center with CONFIDENCE. The practice question club was an amazing resource and provided several practice questions, quizzes, and advice that helped me get my PASS. I also utilized the PT hustle podcast and joined every Facebook live that I could. I highly recommend this study platform and encourage all PT students and new grads to take advantage. - Jade Long, PT, DPT

Fantastic experience: This program was truly life changing! I trusted these guys with my hopes and dreams and becoming a PT was not even possible had I not found this program! If anyone is struggling to get through the NPTE, this is by far your best option! They will do whatever it takes to get you that dream and they truly care about you as an individual person! They teach much more than just the basic content. Truly couldn't recommend the PT Hustle more to anyone looking to pass the NPTE and start the dream they love!

Fantastic experience: Coach K is fantastic! His whole team is there for any question, any concern, and they can get the resource for you. I have been graduated for 20 YEARS from PT school. This was a mountain of an undertaking that Coach K and PT Hustle helped me climb. They have a comprehensive approach to improve in all areas-each improvement gets you a few more points. The program has specific steps to get you in the right mind set and to prepare you. I came away from this experience, changed. I am more confident in myself. I know I can tackle anything. I gained some life long friends from my study group. I am thankful that my journey brought me to PT Hustle.

Fantastic experience: I would recommend PT hustle over any program out there for NPTE preparation. Outstanding content, holistic approach for the full person, and a community that truly cares. This program helped me achieve over a 12 point increase in less than 3 months… But more importantly help me fall back in love with the field of Physical Therapy & gain my confidence back!

Fantastic experience: What an amazing coaching program for the NPTE! I highly recommend investing in this program for passing the NPTE! Not only do they have live class sessions for content but they also teach you about nutrition and mindset for the NPTE! The lecture videos for content are thorough and straight forward. The Pass System has great pointers on test strategies! The PT Hustle team were so helpful and they reply fast to emails and text if you have questions. Thank you Nick for mindset strategies, Coach K for motivation and content, and Matt for tackling content!!! They are a team that backs you up and they are so supportive! I am so happy to pass on my second attempt! It has been a long journey but worth it! Thank you for believing in me and your students!

Fantastic experience: The PT Hustle team changed the game for me. Investing in their program got me over the NPTE hump, not just from content but mindfulness as well. The private calls, zooms, and text messages for mental health and content questions made it so easy to get the information needed at my fingertips. Those moments where I’m studying with someone and we’re confused, a quick “hey Hustle Team, what is this?” With a response in 5 minutes is key. You correct it right then and there and move on to receive and study accurate information. All the test taking strategies were great and used during practice exams, studying, and in life! PT hustle is great tool for the NPTE and for life moments. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: The practice question club was exactly what I needed! It really helped me sharpen my skills in breaking down questions and also I got to put these strategies immediately to the test! I love how Dr. Kyle Rice incorporated questions by topic. The test strategies truly channeled my thinking in an engaging manner that I was also able to recognize or replicate during my NPTE exam. PT hustle does a phenomenal job and being able to relate to the mind of a student. Very happy that I can start my career as a DPT!!! DR KYLE RICE IS THE GOAT!

Fantastic experience: HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This program helped me achieve my goal of passing the NPTE. After failing on multiple attempts even after using other study programs I was finally able to get it done with the help of the PT Hustle. Coach K and the whole team are truly there for you, to help you really understand the content and provide all the necessary tools to get the pass! The holistic approach to coaching/studying for this big exam is what really sets the program apart. It wasn't until I joined the coaching program that I was able to truly understand my weaknesses and focus in on test taking strategies that provide real results. They keep you accountable and really focus on ALL aspects of the test, besides just content. Im thankful I had their support, and for anyone else struggling to get through this exam as I was, I recommend joining the PT Hustle family asap, you wont regret it! -Tania Dutra PT, DPT !!!!!!

Fantastic experience: PT Hustle was such an amazing study program!! They helped focus on all the important topics and provided many helpful tips and tricks to help you pass your exam! I would highly recommend this program/course to anybody who wants to pass the NPTE on the 1st attempt!
