![]() ![]() Additionally, there are only 120 questions compared to the 300 on the PANCE, so it is not even half the length. You can pause it, but it is best to treat it like the actual PANCE. Even worse, they do not tell you what you got wrong. Honestly, I got the same anxious feeling before taking this practice test as I did before the PANCE because it’s timed and you can only do it once (NO REVIEWING AFTER), so you don’t get to see the right answer. I do think it’s worth buying and taking one of these exams because they are retired questions that were on a previous PANCE. ![]() NCCPA offers two different practice tests that you can take after registering for the PANCE, however, they do not include any explanations and are very expensive even though NCCPA markets them as being ONLY $50 each. This was helpful as a practice test since the book has 600 questions total. PANCE PANRE Question Book by Dwayne Williams.I also bought the extra Rosh Review practice test (all 300 questions, so each section is covered) along with one of the must-know additional extras (without the explanations), which are common and high yield. There are many ways to use Rosh Review, which I detail later. I usually didn’t have to think twice before choosing an answer on test day because Rosh Review made me confident. If anything, Rosh Review’s questions were a little harder and went a bit more in depth than the test questions. I even think I had some of the exact same questions during the PANCE. My main resource was Rosh Review, and I can confidently tell you that the questions are very similar to those on the PANCE. When I got close to exam month/day, I didn’t spend as much time going over explanations except for my weaker topics. I completed all of the Rosh Review questions for each topic during these time frames and reviewed the answers and explanations. Week 15: Review any weak areas and continue taking practice exams.Week 14: Complete one practice exam sponsored by NCCPA, continue Rosh Review (random order).Weeks 11, 12, 13: Complete all of Rosh Review (random order) + practice exam each week.Week 10: Infectious disease (5 days) + practice exam.(Note: the 2019 blueprint has been updated): I made a study plan calendar and broke it up into topics based on the PANCE blueprint. I began thinking about PANCE review in February ( 4 months before the PANCE = 16 weeks). Here’s how I studied and PASSED my boards on the first try. ![]() Failure is also embarrassing! I wanted to do everything possible to prepare for the PANCE so I could feel confident when I finished. ![]() I was super stressed about passing because I was tight for money and needed to start working immediately. All of my friends who graduated the year before me said the same thing: “You’ll feel like you failed when you walk out of the PANCE, but don’t worry, you’ll pass.” I didn’t want to feel like I failed and then wait 5–7 days for my results. I took my PANCE 2 weeks after graduation and PASSED, so I started working on July 1st. I graduated from Clarkson University’s Physician Assistant program in May 2018 and am a Family Care Physician Assistant in a small, rural, underserved Upstate New York town. ![]()
