Looking for uworld account ending Jan 21, 2025 or later; preferably with a reset. Thank you in advance! Please DM me

I do logging in Exxat and we are expected to put down every single patient we see (which often times I don't have time to do this for 20 patients/day)

I've read that this can actually be helpful with procedures and surgeries (my program has a separate logging set for common procedures as well).

How important is this really for applying to jobs with credentialing? The amount of detail I put into EXXAT is based on if I can copy/paste my notes from EMR and I put down a single ICD 10 code since the system is so finnicky

packrats: 141 to 161

EORS: Psych: 418 FM: 378, 398 IM: 409 EM: 434 Surg: 443 Peds: 418 OBGYN: 392

Uworld: 66% accuracy with 25% used Rosh: projected 495 but only like 5% used

Just took the NCCPA form A exam and got mostly borderline with a little bit in the green. Have 4 areas to brush up on.

2 weeks out from PANCE

Hello I am a clinical year student and about to graduate in two weeks. I am trying to apply to jobs right now but a lot of them are declining me right away because I do not have PA license as yet. Are there any recommendations to get interviews without having PA license yet?

hi everyone,

I’m taking my first PCKRAT soon, and I know the majority suggest not to study beforehand. However, my school does want us to score within minimum -1% SD. They have the option to remidiate us either by giving us extra ROSH questions or holding us back from starting rotations in January. Any advice/ study tools/ topics you feel I can focus on is greatly appreciated! I’ve done all the QUIZLET PCKRATS however I know it’s not indicative of the versions out now. Thank you!

Does anyone know how I would find an anatomy tutor at our level? Most are used to undergrad and our requirements are so much higher. Cost is irrelevant. I need someone available for one week. Friday Dec 6 until Friday Dec 13. Any help is appreciated.

Hi all! Does anyone remember specific topics on their PANCE that threw them off guard?

Hello, upcoming, very apprehensive, PA student here! With how rigorous PA school is, I wanted to inquire about your experience/tips for navigating the next few years as an attempt to reassure myself that it'll be okay. Specifically, if you have any insight on how to deal with the feeling that you didn't study enough, please share!

Did you, perhaps, treat yourself out once a week or did you always make time for a certain activity?

Edit: I’m truly grateful for all the responses and tips for PA school! Hope this helps others too!

I'm working my way through UWorld and after taking the PACKRAT I've noticed a few one-off conditions such as Asherman syndrome, Sheehan syndrome, and takotsubo cardiomyopathy. I know I learned about takotsubo cardiomyopathy in didactic, though it wasn't heavily emphasized. Have those of you who have taken the PANCE recognize Asherman syndrome and Sheehan syndrome on the PANCE? It's weird seeing them so often on UWorld and feeling like they're heavily tested, and then I haven't seen it anywhere else.

Are there any other one-off conditions that catch people by surprise on PACKRAT and PANCE?

For context, I am about to graduate soon. Got a response from a neuro-intensivist for phone interview regarding application I sent for Neuro ICU PA position. (My electives were both surgical subspecialties so I am pleasantly surprised!)

Any advice or last minute tips?

Would appreciate it greatly, thank you!

For the people who formerly would rewrite notes and had to stop for the sake of the lack of time, what did you do to replace that? I use Quizlet as an adjunctive as well as vignette questions provided by the program I am in, but I just can’t help but write a high yield study guide in several diff colors and it’s taking up all my time. I used to only do this for one class and after the results it gave me I started falling into doing it for the meat and potatoes classes (pharm, Clin med) and now I can’t stop. The colors on the study guide just itch my brain the right way and it helps it stick. I also listen to cram the pance passively and I reread the PowerPoints but there’s just nothing like writing the high yield stuff. What should I do to save time?

Those of you who have taken students, have you ever gotten frustrated with one? And why?

I've had my first run in with a preceptor who is clearly not fond of me. All of my feedback up until this rotation has been exceptional. I consider myself a stronger student based on my past clinical experiences. This preceptor does not seem to be very fond of me. Gets irritated when I ask questions, doesn't speak to me really at all, etc. I show up every single day ready to learn, ask plenty of questions (at appropriate times). I am very eager to perform procedures, I am nice and helpful to support staff.

I have came to the conclusion that some personalities don't click. Would love to hear what makes some of you frustrated with your students.

Has anyone taken the rosh pance power pack? which one do you recommend taking pack 1 or 2? thank you.

Hi guys I’m looking into a program and found out they make students redo the entirety of didactic year if they do below the national average on 2+ clinical rotation exams. Is this normal for most PA schools?

Hi guys! My PANCE is in a couple of days. I understand you can’t highlight on the test. However, do you know if you can highlight by just holding left click on the mouse (so not really highlighting). I noticed I read more carefully this way.

Family Medicine EOR Exam

Hey all. One week out from family medicine EOR exam starting Monday. Going through Rosh questions second time through. Any advice prior to the exam? Not sure how comprehensive of a review Rosh is for an exam that covers this much material.

I have a theory that people that didn’t pass the pance are not given their results before the holidays. They only give the passing scores out before the holidays. Is this a true thought process???? I know of people that passed the pance and were given their scores yesterday but other people that were also due to have their scores yesterday were not given their scores…. Thank you!

Title, from what I hear some questions are not graded?

Are there any lists of what is included in the topic lists for the PANCE blueprint? I obviously am studying the blueprint and all the topics there, but some are somewhat vague or broad. For example: prion diseases. Which ones? CWD and CJD? There’s so many. Another example: Immunologic disorders. Which ones?

Maybe what I’m looking for doesn’t exist, but just wondering if there is any set list of what may be covered on these broader groups of topics.

Where do I buy the boost exams for each rotation's EOR exam? I don't see it on the blueprint website or on rosh review. someone please help

Has anyone ever done the 4 day review course through Rosh/ Blueprint? Is it more of go at your own pace or do you have to be present for the classes? TIA

What are some common one liner questions you’ve seen on the pance? Did you see specific topics that are mainly asked using one liners? Trying to gauge how to memorize content

I have recertified before using CMEs (was an ER tech before PA school) but have never tried the examination route.

Have any of the PA students here done this and do you think I can get away with not studying?

It’s been years since I took the NREMT so I can’t remember how specific the questions were.

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone gotten direction for how to study for this new addition to the pance in January?? It is 8% of the PANCE which is huge. I know some of it is common sense but I’ve had a couple EOR EOC questions that I had no idea what the answer was.

thanks in advance!

I just finished my second term of didactic. I didn’t do good at all. Finish with a B, B-, C+, and two Cs.

My GPA is a 2.34 cumulative. I have two more terms to raise is to a 2.75 GPA. This term was our hardest.

I’m going to be honest and say it was very hard to catch up in the beginning, but I definitely improved with that part. However I found that my anxiety increased a millions fold. I had many panic attacks this term which led me to fail exams. For example I had 3 whole days to study for a biochem test but I was paralyzed with fear the entirety of it I wasn’t retaining anything and bombed the test even tho it was the easiest one so far.

I’m meeting with a psychiatrist to get on medication ASAP and counseling. Here’s the thing I know i can get good grades. I had a 4.0 in college and graduated early. I’m a “gifted” child. I don’t understand how I let it get this bad.

I really want to continue and finish the program. I worked so hard to get here. Does anyone have some advice or just words to say. My program mentor says that I’ll be Ok and that I have two terms to fix it but I just don’t believe them. My family is supporting me and wants me to continue. I just can’t tell if my gut feeling of me wanting to leave is self doubt or if I should actually withdraw.

I start clinicals in January and I’m trying to think ahead. Has anyone come across any good Black Friday deals on anything yet? Does Uworld usually do Black Friday?

Post your finds here!

Did practice exam B, a little confused as usually CV is my highest scoring. I take the PANCE on the 27th, my uworld score is 70% with 70% completed.

Is this bad?

Please offer any advice. I am working on my confidence to take the exam again. I knew I was a red alert student based on my EOR and PACKRAT scores and missed the pass by 8 points. Not gonna blame the depression but it feels like my memory and motivation is shot. I just want to make tangible changes and set out a proper study plan to prepare myself these next few months.

I will be working in the interim so I can purchase the UW bank again and pay for the exam. Will begin studying in 2 weeks. Thank you.

About a week away from finishing my first semester (yay) but feeling like I made friends with the wrong people. My cohort is super cliquey and I’m now feeling stuck and like I can’t relate to my friend group/we have very different outlooks on pa school and our future goals. My program is longer so I still have 2 more semesters of didactic and I worry I’m going to be miserable and feel like I chose the wrong program. Any advice or similar situations? Is it possible to make it through a program rather independently/lonely?

Good luck to everyone taking finals!
