Noncognitive Factors of Grit and Mindset Do Not Predict Performance on the National Physical Therapy Exam

CONCLUSION: Among PT students at a small liberal arts institution in the midwest, grit and mindset were not associated with any indicators of academic success (e.g., cGPA, sGPA, gGPA, Academic PEAT, or NPTE scores). NPTE outcomes were best predicted by gGPA and Academic PEAT scores. These findings conflict with previous reports that grit and mindset are potential markers for academic success and support monitoring gGPA and Academic PEAT scores to identify students who may require additional preparation before sitting for the NPTE.PMID:38478828 | DOI:10.1097/JTE.0000000000000268
