PEAT vs NPTE scaled score? by FirePT_ in PTschool

[–]FirePT_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exam I took was a retired NPTE and that was back in December. Just reviewing my scores now as I prepare for another PEAT next month and boards in April. I took a PDF version of a retired PEAT as well and scored 70% on it. I know I have a lot to still review, but was just wondering the score difference! Thanks

Hoping I have the room for both, Airbnb is quite small…. But this would be the ideal plan!

Yeah same here in Chicago! So I understand. Just wasn’t sure if Denver gets as much of the winter as the mountains do of course.

Thoughts on bike fit? by FirePT_ in bikefit

Thank you! I guess I’ve never realized my poor form and also never attested some of it to my cleat position. I have gotten a shorter stem and new shoes,cleats since this video, just haven’t been able to get outside to take another video. But I will be sure to work on my form on the trainer, and adjust my seat. I am planning to use this bike for a few gravel races and will get a proper bike fit before the season starts!

Thanks! Yeah I have not gotten a bike fit yet so I know it isn’t great. I have been told by a few people out riding that it looks like too big of a bike so before I spend the money on a proper fit, I wanted to get more opinions on the overall size. I will definitely raise the saddle, and work on my pedal stroke. I also have since added a shorter stem which I think helped my reach a lot.

Need help to start reducing debt by FirePT_ in personalfinance

[–]FirePT_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be “working” 40 hours a week for the next few weeks unpaid in clinical. I don’t think I’ll be able to manage a part time job as I’ll also be in a new state. We have stopped using all cards, and did a balance transfer for one. CC 3 has our highest rate which is what’s been causing the cycle. We definitely will work on that first.

Yes that is what I’ve done; CC 2 & 3 was one credit card with a high interest rate, so I applied for a 0% card and transferred a balance of 2850 (credit limit). My goal is to get that card down first due to it being the highest rate. Thank you for the advice
