It's normal to need to get used to standardized exams. If you didn't study for the Packrat using a question bank then a low score is completely expected because your didactic exams were probably not exactly like the Packrat. Crank it up a bit for the PANCE if you want. Go through the blueprint and do the Rosh boost exams for EORs. I chalk it up to getting a clear set of study resources set early and sticking to it as my PANCE studying format as well. My second Packrat ended up being 179 and my PANCE was 589 which are both well above the averages. I did watch some online med ed videos if I was really struggling and then added Uworld after I had used all of my Rosh questions closer to the PANCE. Many people have said to stick with one review book and one question bank and I would agree with that. I found it much simpler to just have the two main resources. My advice is to try not to use to many different resources as it can bog you down and you may get overwhelmed. I see you had listed those already along with others. Typically, she begins by asking the students to write ten test questions per week especially on their weaker topics. Those students who have a predicted PANCE score below 400 are contacted by Amee Naidu, and they begin remediation. I ended up just using PPP and rosh to study for EORs. PANCE SCORE PACKRAT x 5.74 - 287.47 Using this formula and a PACKRAT score of 157 would equate to a PANCE score as follow: 157 x 5.74 - 287.47 613.71 If you take the test and your score indicates you are on shaky ground, keep building your knowledge and working on the areas where you're weak. The PACKRAT II exam is used to generate a predicted PANCE Score. That definitely improves with taking EORs. I was a pretty high performing student in didactic year but to be honest I was just not used to the Packrat question format and the length of the exam. I had the exact same preclinical score and I was upset too. I will also try to complete questions out of rosh and uWorld daily. My current plan for the EOR is to outline the blueprint using PA exam review book, smarty pance, osmosis and twist of lemons study guides. Does the PACKRAT score have any correlation to EORs and is there anything I can do to increase my strength on clinical intervention based questions? I was so happy to be done with didactic year but finishing with a crappy PACKRAT really didn't make me feel any better about my self confidence. Now I know this is a broad section but I'm now very nervous going into my first EOR (emergency medicine) in June. Anyway, I noticed that I lost a majority of my points and basically fell at the other end of the national percentile on "clinical intervention" based questions. I have been doing generally well during my didactic year and expected to be at least higher than my class average (religiously used anki, quizlet, etc). Good luck, you'll probably do just fine if youve made it to graduation and don't slack off on studying.I was very taken back at my overall grade. Don't ride on the coattails of your didactic year performance, keep studying, but don't freak out. The PANCE is to evaluate your broad knowledge that you should have gained while in your program. The worst thing you could do other than not study, is to show up with high anxiety and no confidence. There are MANY ways that people approach studying for the PANCE.choose the best for you and don't freak out. Time between grad and PANCE: ~1wk, first available test date (I used them to guide my focus on areas of the blueprint I was weak on) PACKRAT x 2 provided by PA program after didactic and again after clinical year. The test questions in it were great though!) Results: Adjusted HRMs across 5 programs (n 1014) found the composite score to have the strongest association, with a 10-percentile-point increase associated with a 22-point (95 confidence interval CI: 19-26) increase in PANCE score. Comprehensive Review PANCE/PANRE (the green and white book.I didnt use it much, great book, I just like the tables and diagrams in William's book better. The PACKRAT scores were standardized for each year to the national mean and SD.
