Waiting for Results = The Worst.


Recommended Posts

Took it yesterday (9/16). It was hard, yes. I found myself relying on my clinical rotations/past experience to answer quite a few questions. Have you ever seen Slumdog Millionaire where he gets the answers because of something he experienced? Kind of like that! I used PAEasy question bank and HippoPA.

 

The biggest issue I had was calming my anxiety/HR prior to each section.

 

The way I see it, over 94% of first time takers passed in 2013. Out of 6,495 takers, that means about 390ish people didn't pass. There's like 187 PA programs or something? That means roughly 2 per program don't pass? I should be okay...hopefully.

 

Time to wait!

I took my exam on 9/10 at 8am fully expecting to get my results today but unfortunately did not . I'm quite upset about this, spent all of yesterday having panic attacks and nightmares all night. And now it looks like I get to spend the last free week I have (which I will be away on vacation) before becoming a slave to the hospital again in this anxiety-ridden, angry self defeating state where my entire life lays in the balance. So not only has NCCPA made the PANRE more difficult they are adding to the torture by making people wait the maximum time to get results. And did I hear recently that NPs NEVER have to recertify and endure this hell??

And wherever happened to the Pathway 2? That's sure seems like it would have been the way to go if it was still around

it was a terrible test. poorly written with questions MD specialists couldn't answer and a requirement for a very high score. the avg time to complete at home was something like 6 weeks with a required score to pass in the 80s and a high failure rate compared to traditional panre.
