I have a question for anyone that can give me some guidance. How do you get to the cheatsheets!?

Perfect way to study for the NPTE

This podcast is amazing!!!! It help to solidify the concepts that are taught in Dr Rice’s NPTE Hustle class!! I love to use it with all of the other tools he provides us. I will learn a topic from the study guide then watch his corresponding on-demand lectures or clarity calls. Then I will listen to the podcast to make sure that I can apply the information to a case or question.

I love how he goes through each answer choice to rule in/out and explains why he ruled in/out. The added cheatsheets are amazing to re-enforce these topics in a quick review that is easy to understand. 

These podcasts help to increase my self-confidence!!

I am so grateful to Dr Rice and his program!!!!
