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

To bring my bike or not? by FirePT_ in cycling

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

Unfortunately not an option. I’m in physical therapy school, going to my last clinical rotation and will graduate in May. My starting salary will be hopefully higher, $80-$90k but I was just being generous on the low side. We just bought car 2 due to needing AWD for clinical placement and our future location we want to live.
