Many find it difficult for the intensity of the program and also that it is a switch from declaritive memory (learning facts and figures) to procedural and analytical learning....you must not just remember parts of the body, but understand their relationship and be able to problem solve when there is a dysfunction. Also, the prerequistie subjects are highly science and math oriented...and one builds upon the other...you use concepts and skills from every class you take as an undergraduate. If you are the type of person who gets by on memorizing facts for a test, you will struggle in PT school. If, however, you enjoy problem solving and like to understand "why" things work, then you will most likely be a successful PT!
