Before I took my NPTE,I think I've read this book three times from cover to cover.It helped me a lot to get a good score on the differential diagnosis part of the exam. I think if one wants to pass the NPTE,this book is really helpful.I love it.Now it helped me realized that once you are on the workplace,you can encounter a lot of patients with a lot of different diagnoses so it is the PT's responsibility too,just like any other allied health professional to report some red flags ASAP.SO good!
