My humble advice for the PANCE ...

 

Keep in mind that, when you are actually taking the PANCE, it is ok to make the conscious decision to "miss this question' ... make your best guess and then move on. Don't change answers unless you are very sure that you need to. If you absolutely have no clue about an answer, and cannot eliminate any of the possible choices, then decide in advance what your favorite letter is (A,B,C,D, or E) and then use it consistently for those questions for which you are clueless. Statistics show that you will get a higher percentage of them correct if you use the same letter throughout the test - remember, this is only for those questions in which you cannot eliminate one or two answers.

 

Another suggestion is to remember that if you are given a group of answers and you can eliminate one or more choices, and are then guessing between a one or two possibles, go with the longer, more detailed answer. It is usually an indicator that the question writer is trying to make sure that he has covered the answer to include everything that you need on that answer.

 

Remember to answer all questions when you first encounter them, then flag the ones that you want to return to ... that way if find yourself running out of time, at least you have already answered each question behind you.

 

If you absolutely do not know an answer, mark it with your favorite letter, and move on. And don't worry about it again.

 

Remember that the test is scored using some convoluted mathematical equation that gives different levels of gravity and importance to different questions. Wrong answers do not count against you. Correct answers are plugged into the equation and computed to give you a raw score. That raw score is compared to other raw score for that same exam, then plotted on a bell curve. Passing scores are two standard deviations below the mean raw score. You have a lot of room to miss questions. I've heard it said that you can miss one of every three questions and still pass.

 

Most importantly, remember your goal is NOT to ace the test ... your goal is to score 1 (one) more question correctly over the number required to pass the test - just 1 question over!

 

Relax. Don't let yourself get too anxious. Be prepared, well-rested, take some high protein snacks into the exam with you.

 

And utilize all 45 minutes break-time that you are allowed between each one-hour section. Leave the testing center and walk outside for a few minutes. Do not rush through any section.

 

You're going to do fine!
