Chuckhaint Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 So I took the PANCE on Monday 8/30. My score should be available tomorrow. I'm anxious about it and I was hoping I could get a little feedback/support. When I finished the test, I didn't feel good about it, and I didn't feel bad about it. Looking back, I feel there's no way I failed it, but I'm still freaking out. Does everyone else feel like this? I know there's nothing to worry about; I did very well in school. I feel like my program prepared us. I used ExamMaster, the new AAPA/PAEA book and Lange yellow book. Our program also had a week of board reviews (taught by us) just before graduation (8/21). I've heard everyone feels this way! Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deborah212 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Yep. COMPLETELY normal to feel this way. I'm sure you passed with room to spare, especially with all that prep! Try distracting yourself with some bad reality tv and get a good night's sleep. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hahnemannpa Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I took the test about a year ago and actually got 100% in several of the areas (GYN, PSYCH, CARDIO. I used the prep book and was amazed how easy the PANCE was taking it the second time. Everything you need to know is in the book. I am glad you passed.

springpearl Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Congrats! I'll take PANCE in a week, just did AAPA book pre-test questions, scored 62%, am I in bad shape? Very nervous... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_nelle Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Thanks outennisboi! Springpearl...Good luck and happy studying!! I am in no way claiming to be able to predict PANCE scores based off of performance on practice tests, but to give you a point of reference, I took the AAPA pre-test a couple days before my PANCE and got 80-something percent. I passed the PANCE with my scores falling into the 96%ile. One week away from your exam, my best advice is to do lots of practice questions (timed-- in blocks of 60 questions per hour), then go through the answers/explanations of each block of 60 questions very thoroughly. Make note of which Blueprint topic areas you have a tendency to struggle with and do a quick review of those when possible. Best of luck!!!

springpearl Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I passed :-) and with plenty room to spare! YAHOOO! Thank you just_nelle, I did what you said a whole week of practice questions, it helped a lot. Prior to that I used AAPA book to review, but wasn't sure how much I retained. And the pre-test result just scared me. But one week of practice questions helped me to intergrate lots of concepts. Two days before the exam, I did the post-test, got ~70%, felt a lot better. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
