HIPPOPA (AAPA PANCE/PANRE) and Kaplan


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

It has been a while since I last posted in this forum.  I just recieved my PANRE scores and I passed.  I thought I would give my quick opinions on my studying methods.  I mostly used HIPPOPA as primary source of studying.  I found that the presentations/lectures were not only informative but entertaining.  The question bank I also felt to be relatively on par with the PANRE.  I would definitely use this again.  I also got 50 credits of CME in the process.  HIPPO education is also working on getting approval for "self-assessment" CME.  

 

I also used Kaplan Qbank for the last months.  I felt that these questions were pretty challenging when compared to the actual test.  I would still order it again for a month subscription.  Overall I felt the HIPPOPA questions more representative of what I saw on PANRE.

 

I used the Emory DVD as well towards the end.  Admittedly I only used it sparingly and only in sections where I felt weak in.  It was OK as some lectures were better than others.

 

Good Luck

I used the Appleton and Lange Outline Review for the PA Examination (2nd edition) and also passed. I think it covered the topics outside of the big 4 (CV, pulmonology, MS, endocrine) well enough to pass but would pick up another review book if I was to do it all over again. FYI it took 13 days to get my results and yesterday when I tried to log in, the site was down for maintenance until this AM. Best of luck!

Just stumbled upon your post- congrats on passing! It's good to know you did it with us. You mentioned some sections you felt weaker in- which specifically?

 

Thanks,
