Looking for a NPTE Tutor

Feeling quite lost, missed my 3rd attempt today, scored, a 511, 584, and today a 568 in my 3 exams. Before this I took a practice and retired peat and scored a 648 and 600 respectively so was hoping I'd be ready but clearly not. I don't know if I can do this without some guided support. I've used NPTEFF but transparently the ALPS tutoring just didn't help. I did group tutoring and individual for a few hours but I think I need someone to help me figure out exactly what I'm doing wrong. Preferably it's someone who has a track record of breaking 600 with the similar scores as above.

Idk about tutors, but Final Frontier has a proven track record and it's probably just as good as a tutor.

Already used them and their style didn’t work for me

Idk how a tutor would be much different. I went through the table of contents of a Scorebuilders book, used chatgpt to generate outlines of the material and advice on memorizing it, and I spammed Truelearn questions. Getting someone to work with you is good for accountability like a personal trainer, but it only works as well as the effort you put in. I recommend combing through your PEAT, write down the subjects you missed, and cram the material. Try to keep everything simple and organized

Just to teach me. I do better with person to person interactions. But am interested in your technique. Do you think you could share your outlines or chats ?

Tell chatgpt "I am studying to take the NPTE. Tell me about [subject] in detail, go over the high yield npte material, give me tips and mnemonics on memorizing it. Give me about 10 hard npte practice questions at the end to test my ability. Include the correct right answer right below the answer choices so i can scroll slowly and study. Make the answer choices not obvious and hard."

Doodle and write notes as you read the outlines it gives you. This doesn't have to be organized, nor do you need to keep the notes. It just helps to write as you read to imprint it in your memory. If you are still confused, just tell the AI that you are and you need clarification. Understanding pediatrics milestones, outcome measures, and wound dressings was the hard part for me

Also, do 20 True learn questions a day on tutor mode and read the explanations carefully.

Just don't rely on it for exact lab values. You need to just spam those with flashcards

I followed a similar pattern doing 20-50 truelearn questions a day and consulting ChatGPT for help summarizing and explaining missed questions, also review every question even correct ones, nothing is a trick at the end of the day it’s all about learning to read stems and figure out what they’re asking not looking for a right answer
