"Still studying. Great review. Excellent way to gain self assessment credits for that 10 yr review."

- Bella Lee

"Well…if you have to do the PANRE, and I did, again, this is the book you have to get.

I guess I overdid it on prep, but I passed, again, and that's what counts. My whole career has been in orthopedics. We don't do trauma. I've never worked in primary care. I was scared. I really liked Davis's PA Exam Review. That was a good start, but not comprehensive enough. PANCE Prep Pearls was innovative, but whoa the format was difficult to read. I did the Hippo review program (not my style), the Rutgers video program (pretty good!) and the Emory program (the best!). They were all good for CME's.

If I were to do it over again, and I will in 10 years (yippee), I think I would start with this book. Then use Davis's, and then do question banks over and over.

In my opinion, all of them "prepare" you for the PANRE, but none of them really prepares you for the PANRE. The questions in the actual test were different than any of the question banks, and I did a lot of questions. So, the real goal of all this preparation is to gain knowledge which you then apply when you take the test.

With than in mind, I could probably do as well next time without spending a lot of my CME money on prep materials! Oh well, I needed the CME's anyway."

"I bought this book back for my original test. Now I'm buying it again for my Recert. It always has what you need in and lined out nicely. Not too much - not too little."

"This is a great review book to use during the clinical year of PA school. I'm currently about halfway through my clinical rotations (... whoa, it just hit me that I'm almost a PA!) and have been using this book for my last two rotations. It has been very helpful for these rotations (surgery, psychiatry) and am looking forward to using it for my internal medicine rotation next. The book is based off the AAPA blueprint so it has just about everything you need to know. It's all condensed so a lot of "fluff" information that won't help you for an exam isn't included and you can focus on learning what you need to. The layout is an outline/bullet point style so it's easy to separate everything into little chunks of information in your mind. The question bank is very helpful and give you an idea of what kind of questions you may be asked. The best part, however, is the explanations of the questions. It gives you an insight into how to think about test questions (and, to some extent, how to think about things clinically). I definitely recommend this as an adjunct to your other materials for your clinical year!"

"I purchased this book as a review for the PANCE and a go-to reference during clinical rotations. I used this, as well as a 3-day review conference, and an online PANCE review site to study for the PANCE. The combination allowed me to pass the PANCE on my first try. I like having a hands-on review book to continually reference, even now as a clinician."

"This book has been a life saver just going through PA school and clinical medicine courses. Would recommend."

"Passed my PANCRE on first attempt Dec, 2016. I appreciated the up to date and well organized information.

I liked the outline format, it worked well for me (visual learner) and is very easy to reference/review.

It is worth the money. I did not attend another review course."
