NPTEFF provides all the resources needed to pass the
What a wonderful feeling to finally say that “I PASSED THE NPTE!” I am truly happy and grateful! God is so good!
This has been a long and challenging journey. There were definitely some hurdles, road blocks and detours, but God always made a way. I thought that 17 years was such a long time to keep hanging on to this dream. But I’m glad that I didn’t quit and kept on working towards it. The struggles undoubtedly made the success much sweeter! Thank you to my dear family who’s always been there to support me in achieving what seemed to be an impossible dream! But we did it!I graduated 2001 in Philippines and just like any other hopeful immigrants, I wanted a better life and work hard to live my American dream. But God’s plan was far better than mine. I met the love of my life and fell in love. We started a family and had 4 wonderful kids! I love being with my family and so content in taking care of them. But as years went by, there’s this relentless feeling of pursuing the dream that I’ve put aside. I’ve always wanted to work as a Physical Therapist. I didn’t know where to start and I had no resources. I thought I was too old and it was too late. I searched for PT groups in Facebook that can help. Unexpectedly, a classmate from college sent me a private message. Such a small world! We’ve bonded with our hope to become a licensed PT, and she’s become such a dear friend. I’m so thankful for you Leigh Molder for all your help!
On October last year, I read a couple of inspiring testimonials posted in the Final Frontier page. A surge of hope came! I spoke with Dr Singh and told him that as soon as I have the money, I will enroll in his course. I was surprised when he offered to let me register with just paying for a minimum amount and not worry about the money. A total stranger who offered such kindness... It was truly an answered prayer! Thank you, Dr. Bhupinder Singh! I eventually accept his offer and more blessings came. My mom knew that I didn’t have the money at that time so she generously paid without telling me. She is amazing and I’m so grateful for her! God’s Grace unfolded right in front of my eyes. I was so excited to start!The Final Frontier is sincerely the best prep course out there since it provided all the resources I needed to prepare for the exam. He has tons of it! Dr. Bhupinder’s lectures are relevant and on point. He made the concepts much easier and more coherent. His classes are definitely interesting and fun. He has such a good sense of humor and the jokes that he throw creates an enjoyable environment to learn! His timetable is so structured and manageable, especially if you have a family and a busy schedule. His practice exam is amazing! Much harder than the PEATs. There were a lot of people in the class who helped. To name a few, Dr. Hajela with her straight to the point Vestibular and Neuro lectures, Gowre Anurekha Arunachalam (Rekha) with her supplemental info in WhatsApp, Akanksha Sharma (not a robot) with her patience in helping in the chat, and Dave Friedberg (Master Yoda) with his helpful slides and awesome motivation, the rest of the Final Frontier team, and my new friends in the WhatsApp group! You All Rock! Thank you so much! And last but not the least, Mona Minhaj. She’s not only an amazing mentor but such a good friend. She guided me when I studied for the PTA and I was so ecstatic to passed the exam last July! That was a much needed achievement to give me a boost in my confidence. I can’t thank you enough, my dear! Mona kept on guiding me to continue for the PT exam. She taught us how to study the basics and how to apply it in solving the tough and challenging practice questions that she made. She truly is an awesome woman! She’s too kind to offer more help, but I had to decline since she has 2 adorable twins to take care of and she already had a lot on her plate. I value her as a friend and she’s already taught me a lot. I had to learn to walk on my own two feet! And thanks to the course, I had all the things I needed to prepare for the exam.
I then studied by myself and worked on my weakness list. I focused on the positive and stayed away from anything that’s negative. But life sometimes throws a curve ball. A month before the exam, there were some problems that arise and needs my full attention. I confided with Mona that I might cancel the exam since I didn’t have the energy anymore and my kids need me. She told me she understood but if I don’t take the exam this October, she knows that I would just let it go. There’s that eerie feeling that confirmed what she said. She’s right. I just have to do it. As a friend, she told me that she knows that I will pass the exam. I believed her. I took a practice exam then showed the result to Dr Singh. He encouraged me to take the exam as well and he said that I will pass. And I believed him, too. The only thing that’s missing is, my self confidence. During Dr Singh’s non systems bootcamp class, he asked everyone to unmute our mics and say out loud, “I WILL PASS THE NPTE!”. I rolled my eyes and thought it was embarrassing. So I opened my mouth and nothing came out. Mixed emotions came flooding in then I finally said it. I heard resounding echoes of what I said coming from everyone in the class and tears were just rushing out. All the positive affirmation was so powerful that it gave me such renewed energy and hope. I will never forget that!
D day came. I fervently asked for God’s guidance during the exam. Indeed i was confidently answering all the questions and remembered what I repeatedly studied and applied the concepts of Dr. Singh. There was an unexplainable peace and strength because I knew that God was with me. I had a calming sense of feeling that I will pass. And I did! All the hard work and sacrifices paid off. I can never thank God enough! Right from the start, you have proven that your grace is sufficient. And anything is possible in Jesus name!
Thanks again, Dr. Bhupinder Singh, Mona Minhaj and the Final Frontier team! I highly recommend that you join this amazing team if you want to pass the NPTE. And please don’t give up on your dreams, especially all the moms out there. It is indeed possible! And it’s all worth it in the end. In your journey, don’t forget to show kindness and offer help because He will reward you abundantly. May God bless you in all your endeavors!
