While you may want to kick your feet up and relax for a few months post-graduation, you should schedule your PANCE exam within a realistic timeline. You don\u2019t want all that fresh PA information to go to waste, do you?<br><br><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With at least two to three months of PANCE prep, you\u2019ll be ready. However, going too long without studying, procrastinating, or getting distracted during study times can seriously harm your chances of performing well on the PANCE. So, don\u2019t be avoidant\u2014be proactive.<br><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PANCE Study Tip 2: Select your resources\u2026but not too many<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hold your horses for a sec. Being proactive doesn\u2019t mean grabbing every review book, using every Qbank known to man, or watching PANCE videos on repeat. While there\u2019s an abundant amount of resources out there, select a few that work for you. PANCE examinees often go with a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/truelearn.com\/physician-assistant\/physician-assistant-pance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qbank<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and a study tool like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pricing\/physician-assistant\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Picmonic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PANCE Study Tip 3: Take a practice exam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Practice exams are going to be your best friend. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nccpa.net\/become-certified\/practice-exams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NCCPA Practice Exams<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are $50 and can help you map your performance over time. It\u2019s a total of 120 questions. You\u2019ll have a 1-hour block to complete 60 questions\u2013it\u2019s perfect to start practicing for the long PANCE exam. Plus, your performance profile will report your overall strengths and weaknesses. Don\u2019t expect to receive individual question results, though. Here\u2019s a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/prodcmsstoragesa.blob.core.windows.net\/uploads\/files\/SamplePerformanceProfile.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sample profile<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so you get the gist.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PANCE Study Tip 4: Get familiar with time blocks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The PANCE is a long exam. To prepare, you should recreate time blocks during practice exams, Qbanks, or throughout your study time. Start with answering 10 questions in 10 minutes and add more from there. This also means you should create a test-taking strategy.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While this may feel like a race against the clock, don\u2019t ever rush. Take deep breaths, read every question thoroughly, and use your best judgment. This is a great way to simulate the exam environment so you can build stamina, practice time management, and be physically and mentally prepared.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PANCE Study Tip 5: Maximize your study time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding your best study mix is key. Start with topics that have a higher allocation percentage on the PANCE exam and what you find the most challenging. It will take some trial and error, and you may need to spend more time studying one topic than another. If necessary, use refreshers to keep all topics at the top of your mind. Quick reviews can be a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/about\/forgetting-curve\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">daily-spaced repetition quiz<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with Picmonic or your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/about\/what-is-picmonic\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">favorite picture mnemonic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<br><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create your PANCE Study Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s time to create your PANCE study plan. Maintaining a study-life balance, sleeping, eating, and taking care of your needs is important to this timeline. Remember, you can only take the PANCE once in a 90-day period or three times in a calendar year. Use this timeline as a guideline and adapt it to your needs as needed. Studying for the PANCE is never one-size-fits-all, but this PANCE study schedule is a great way to get started.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Week 1 to 2:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Work on establishing and refining your PANCE study timeline. Find the best two-to-three-hour blocks of your day to study, and try to study at least five days a week. Set aside time for quick reviews or refreshers if needed, but you should have a schedule that will work for you over the next three or more months. Most who study for the PANCE start studying the major medical content categories, but you don\u2019t have to start in chronological order. Challenge yourself with content sections you feel uneasy about.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Week 3 to 4:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Continue your studying. You should take a practice exam to see your progress so far. If you feel you\u2019re spending too much time in one area of study, test your knowledge or take a break and come back to it later. With your exam results, start allocating extra time for sections you need improvement in.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Week 5 to 6:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Don\u2019t neglect cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, and other systems. There is a lot of information within these topics, and while they may have a smaller allocation percentage, they\u2019re still important need-to-knows. Use your resources to remember more in less time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Week 7 to 8:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the time to get disciplined with time blocks in your study sessions. Try to maximize your study time and begin timing yourself during quizzes, practice exams, or Qbanks. If you\u2019re finding it difficult to be motivated at this time, dive into a content section that interests you the most.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Week 9 to 10: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Practice your test-taking skills. Block out two hours in your day to take a practice exam while simulating the exam environment. If you find your test-taking skills need a little improvement, take a breath and work on it. Reinforce concepts with review quizzes and refreshers.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Week 11 to 12:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Go over any areas you don\u2019t feel confident in. Otherwise, don\u2019t spend the final days leading to your exam stressing or cramming. A few review sessions are fine, but trust what you know.&nbsp;<br><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prep with the best\u2014Picmonic!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you know a few PANCE study tips and have your study schedule, it\u2019s time to sign up for the study resource of your dreams. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pricing\/physician-assistant\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Picmonic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a research-proven study tool that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">guarantees <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you\u2019ll pass the PANCE exam.
