PANCE Study Guide

I am not confident in my ability to take the PANCE at the moment but will definitely follow this study guide in order to keep my studying habits organized. I believe using the blueprint along with Pance Prep Pearls followed up with questions from RR and Kaplan would help prepare me for the PANCE. I know my weaknesses include, cardio, pulm and pharmacology and so I will ensure that I take time to over these topics. I have registered to take the exam on Jan 24, however if I don’t feel confident as I approach that date I will gladly reschedule. I have also reached out to classmates who have been doing consistently well on Packrats and summatives for study sessions.
