![]() Keep in mind that all of the topics are important and green categories should not be neglected or give you a false sense of security for the board exam. The PAC is more about pointing out weaknesses and study priorities than strengths. If you take the PACKRAT more than once, you can see how your colors change over time by creating several PAC tables. You can game the numbers to see how the categories might change with different scores. Once you have entered your data, the PAC will sort each topic into a color coded ranking. The PAC takes into account your performance, how you compare to national performance, and how heavily each category is weighted on the exam. The idea is for you to enter your PACKRAT performance in each category from the results PDF you receive after taking the test. ![]() I developed PACKRAT Analysis Calculator for my students and after positive feedback, I decided to make it available to everyone through my website. B's PAC (PACKRAT Analysis Calculator)! This is a free tool to help you prioritize your study time for the PANCE. I did not know how to study for professionalism, and it is my weakest area in my PANCE result report, along with pulmonology, which is to my surprise because pulmonology was always my strongest area in my other exams.Welcome to Dr. There were some questions I've NEVER encountered before and just guessed, some I felt I learned long long long time ago and could not recall, some long vignette questions that actually GAVE out a lot of information, lol.Īfter PANCE, I felt maybe I really should use a review book, Q banks were great but they don't cover everything, I had PPP but never really get into it. Took one break after I finished the 2nd block, then another one after block 3. I finished each blocks in 30-40 minutes, then went back and reviewed the questions until the time is up. We are allowed 3 breaks of a total 45 mins. The day before PANCE, I did not do anything.Īs for PANCE, it has the identical interface as Uworld. The 10 days leading to PANCE, I did 300-400 questions per day to build my stamina.ĭid NCCPA practice exam Form A 2 weeks before PANCE, little bar in mid green Form B 2 days before PANCE, little bar mid/high greenĢ days before PANCE, I was watching random videos online, I love "dirty medicine" on youtube. I read explanations of all the questions I got wrong. I also did roshreviews, reset the whole qbank and finished all 3000+ questions in 11 days. To my surprise, I saw few questions on my PANCE overlapped the ones on UWorld. Their long vignette questions are slightly harder than those long questions on PANCE. Their explanations are top notch, they really helped me understand the concepts and retain the information they want us to learn. I made sure I read through the explanations after each question, including why the other options were wrong. By the time I finished it, I was able to handle 150 Qs in a row. When I started Uworld, I would get mentally exhausted after doing 30 questions in a row (incuding reading the explanations). I found a 3 month Uworld free trial last year on reddit, and really loved it. I have to give the shot out to Uworld, I did not really have a study schedule, just decided to take the exam whenever I finish the q-banks. NCCPA practice exams: little bar in mid/high green both time Roshreview: 100% completion, 79% correct, predicted score: 519, 90% chance pass PA school GPA 3.84, EORE (402-433), post didactic packrat: 132, mid clinic packrat 138 (yikes, after 4 rotations and we took it right after our EORE with 1 hour break in between, and I never studied for my packrat) PANCE score: 566 (average score: 468, passing score: 350) I logged in the NCCPA website, answered 3 background questions (when this questionnaire popped up I kind of knew I passed ), then checked my result, PASSED. Received an email from NCCPA at 8:56 am EST stating my result is available. Now I want to share my experience and stats in case there are people find it helpful. I've been a long term lurker on this subreddit, coming here really helped me get through this whole crazy clinical year and PANCE prep. Just found out this morning I passed PANCE.
