lyn1985 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I took the PANRE today. This is the second time I have taken the PANRE, and this time was much worse than six years ago. For preparation, I used the Comprehensive Review book, the Lange question and answer book, and the Emory CD. I have been studying almost every day since February; MUCH more than I prepared the last time I took the exam. When I left the testing center, I felt.... well, "deflated" might be a good word. I am sure I failed. I kept count of how many questions I flagged, that I wasn't "sure" about, and I am embarrassed to even share that number. Any suggestions on what I can do to prep better for my retake in three months? Hippo? Different books? Find a new career? Thanks for listening; I think I needed to vent a little bit.

lyn1985 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 I know the last time, I felt like I had failed when I finished. The test seemed a lot more difficult this time, for some reason. I have been reading a lot of others saying that also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdenning Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I just did my first PANRE - the stress of doing it was unreal. I did Hippo and the 5 day CME Resources course. I had to take a week off to go to the course, and then took another week off to study. Felt like things were going ok until I hit the 4th block and then there were 20 questions in a row that I couldn't answer and it was all I could do to keep myself from having a full on anxiety attack in the test center. I wasn't sure at all what to think.....and then I passed. So a big relief but what a bunch of stress to get there. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lyn1985 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 I worked in primary care until about a year ago, then I started working in an acute clinic two months later. Now, I realize in a "Minit-Clinic" we don't see any internal medicine type cases, but I wasn't seeing a lot of the exam topics in primary care either.

lyn1985 Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 I got my results yesterday, and I am happy to report that I passed! My scores went down quite a bit from the last time I took the PANRE, but I'm not going to be too concerned about it. Just glad it is over for awhile!

lolWUT? Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 That seems to be the consensus for this year's PANCE/PANRE. It's a real kick in the sack. 'Grats on passing though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msjay098 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I just took to PANRE a few hours ago. I feel awful. Their were about 30 questions where I was like...."Where did this come from?" . I did all of HippoPA questions and ExamMaster CD. My average score on HippoPA was 75%-85% and ExamMaster was 65-75%. Why couldn't we be like NP and never have to recert again?

msjay098 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Just wanted to share that I passed! Scored 491. I was in tears and shocked. I felt so awful after the exam. This time around I felt that there was so much more at stake. Good luck to everyone taking the PANCE/PANRE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
