Smarty PANCE Testimonials, Reviews, and Success Stories
Smarty PANCE covered the areas I don’t practice in regularly, where I would have been completely lost, and it helped me nail down the areas I already felt comfortable with even more confidently. My scores this year were awesome, and I was able to review in only two to three weeks. I loved the outline format, the PEARLS, and the flashcards, along with the topic organization and the self-analysis through testing. It’s the smartest investment you can make for the price. I’ve already passed my PANRE, but I’m renewing my membership because it was such an on-point review of the medicine I practice every day.
I went from failing EORs to passing. The EOR exam prep courses give you a checklist of everything to learn for each exam, and watching my progress bar fill up as I work through a course keeps me going. I also love the questions after each diagnosis, the Quizlet flashcards, and the Trello board for board prep. The PEARLS and quick overviews save me time, and the study materials are already made for me. Smarty PANCE gives me everything I need on ONE platform: questions, study materials, PEARLS, disease overviews, and study plans for the EOR, EOC, and PANCE. Highly recommended!
I’ve been out of practice for 17 years, and I was lost before I found Smarty PANCE. Now I have an excellent strategy and blueprint for studying for the PANRE, and I actually feel like I will be able to pass. I love the blueprint with its PEARLS and concise information, organized perfectly, plus the questions and the lectures. I love it all. I wish this had been around in 2003; I wouldn’t have failed the PANRE then. I’d recommend it to every PA out there, whether in school or in practice, and especially if you’re re-entering the field. It is priceless!
Smarty PANCE is priority-focused. There’s no fluff, just the need-to-know information to identify problems and treat them. It must be working, because I haven’t scored below a 420 on any of my EORs so far. As a student in my 30s who had been out of traditional schooling for a few years, I found it very user-friendly. The question banks and the practice exams for each rotation help me manage my time and make the most of every study session. I have recommended Smarty PANCE and will keep recommending it, because it gives you a single place to find all the material you need and study effectively.
PA school is overwhelming. If I had to explain it to someone outside PA school, I’d say it’s like sitting at a desk with piles of papers to get through. You finally finish the last one and go to bed, and when you wake up the next day, the giant stack is back. Smarty PANCE condenses that information and gives me pre-made materials that save me so much time. I love the interactive blueprints. They’re organized and packed with useful information, and so are the clinical medicine tables, practice questions, PEARLS, flashcards, and SoundCloud reviews. I’ve tried so many resources, and Smarty PANCE is by far the best, and it’s extremely affordable. It is truly a game changer!
Smarty PANCE has helped me with my PANRE-LA review. I was really nervous about the exam because I’ve been working in a specialty and don’t see many of the topics it covers. The content videos follow the NCCPA PANRE blueprint, which makes it easy to follow along and track my progress on each topic. I use the podcast to make the most of my commute, the Osmosis and Picmonic links to break down complex subjects, and the practice questions to show me where to focus. It has been an excellent, efficient review, and the practice questions have built my confidence.
My test grades in my didactic courses went up by several percent, and I even got a 90% on my cumulative final, the highest grade I’ve had in that class to date! I love the built-in flashcards and the mini lectures. The amount of information is manageable to review, the practice questions are great, and the progress bar keeps me motivated. Smarty PANCE makes complex terms easier to learn and remember.
I found my grades improved after taking the Smarty PANCE EOR exams. They’re straightforward and accurate to the exams I’ve been taking. I believe the Joe Gilboy lectures alone are worth the price of membership. His explanations are phenomenal, and I listen every time I drive from one rotation to the next. The main reason I bought Smarty PANCE was to save time. I could have built my own study guide from the PAEA blueprint and my lecture notes, but that would take many hours every rotation. Instead, the content is already focused on what I need to know, much of it in vignette form, with full lectures and notes whenever I want to dive deeper. I’ve already recommended it to my classmates.
I’ve been certified since 2000 and have passed every PANCE and PANRE, but I still live with severe test anxiety. Smarty PANCE has given me less anxiety about my upcoming PANRE-LA. My favorite feature is that it’s searchable, searchable, and searchable. I get quick access to the bullet points on areas I’ve reviewed before but tend to draw a blank on during exams. Being able to study ahead and prepare ahead in each category is a big, big help. With so many PAs signing up for the new recertification exam, I would recommend it.
All of the material is extremely relevant and lines up well with my classes, and my test scores have improved significantly. I love having lectures alongside ready-made Quizlets, and having the notes already completed lets me actively listen in class instead of trying to write everything down. Smarty PANCE has built my confidence in making differential diagnoses and in identifying signs and symptoms so I can diagnose and treat future patients. I’ve already recommended it! I showed three people in my cohort my test and quiz scores from before and after Smarty PANCE, and they signed up immediately.
I love Smarty PANCE! It’s user-friendly, and the customer service is excellent. I got prompt, thorough answers to my questions when I first signed up, along with extra helpful tips. The guidance emails right after I purchased showed me where to begin, so I could jump right in with less anxiety, and the daily questions in my inbox each morning put me in study mode for the rest of the day. During clinical rotations, EOR Search and Study lets me study exactly what I need for each month’s EOR. It’s a one-stop shop for all my study needs. I haven’t opened PANCE Prep Pearls even once; Smarty PANCE has me covered.
I was reluctant at first. I’ve always studied for the PANCE and PANRE with books, and I wasn’t sure online resources were for me, especially with the PANRE-LA spanning three years. Bottom line: I am so glad I bought a membership. I’ve already learned so much and really enjoy the different ways to study, from the practice exams, interactive blueprints, and PANRE-LA quick search to Joe’s lectures and SoundCloud, the high-yield flashcards, and the ReelDx video lessons. Joe’s lectures are full of real-life PEARLS and tips. I feel like I’ve just scratched the surface of everything in the membership. Definitely worth it!
I spent a lot of hours trying to find a way to get my grades above 85. With Smarty PANCE, I finally pushed myself over that gap. I skipped right past 85 and went to 90+! I like the PEARLS and the lectures paired with the exams. I believe every resource should be used, and Smarty PANCE is one of the most valuable.
I’ve passed every EOR and gained a deeper understanding of the concepts. The organization of the website is phenomenal. When I log on, I can find what I need with ease, and even in 20 to 30 minutes I can review quite a bit of material before an exam. I love the EOR blueprint and studying by topic, the graphics and pictures, and the EOR and general exams. Joe Gilboy is amazing, and the podcasts are perfect for my morning drives to rotations. I’d recommend Smarty PANCE to anyone in PA school for end-of-module exams, EORs, and PANCE prep.
Smarty PANCE improved my test prep and my test-taking skills and gave me a more focused view of what I need for the PANRE. It explains things in a more concise, easy-to-digest way than traditional methods. I love the blueprint breakdown and that every subject can be learned several ways, including ReelDx, bullet points, long form, and quizzes, so it reaches every type of learner. It’s cost-effective, and I also use it to teach students and new orientees at work and to stay current on primary care medicine. In all my years of learning and test taking, this has made things the easiest to digest.
I scored well on all my EORs, and I feel confident going into my end-of-clinicals PACKRAT. I love having multiple practice exams, the high-yield clinical pearls and blueprints, the body-system exams, and the extra PANCE question banks to prepare for the big exam. The links to ReelDx and Osmosis are definitely a plus. I’ve told all the students in the year below me about Smarty PANCE.
Smarty PANCE is a highly organized, comprehensive resource that has streamlined my exam preparation. The question bank closely mimics the style and difficulty of the PANCE, and the explanations cover why the correct answer is right and why the other options are wrong, which has deepened my understanding and strengthened my clinical reasoning. The structured blueprints keep me on track, the end-of-rotation review materials reinforce key concepts during rotations, and the mix of quizzes, flashcards, and audio and video lectures keeps me engaged. It has boosted my confidence and efficiency, and I feel more prepared for both exams and clinical practice. Whether for didactic year, clinical rotations, or board prep, Smarty PANCE is an invaluable resource for any PA student.
Smarty PANCE gives me efficiency and confidence. The abundance of exams and questions shows me what I know and what I need to go back and review, and I feel confident that I will pass the PANRE! Everything is organized, so I can check off what I’ve completed and leave topics open to revisit. Osmosis and Picmonic are essentials, the blueprint keeps me organized and on task, and the ReelDx videos connect didactic information with real-life patients. I’ve used a variety of resources for my boards and as a current PA educator, and there is no resource as thorough and multifaceted as Smarty PANCE. If you’re hesitating at all, don’t! This resource is gold for PA students and PA professionals alike.
I used the free version of Smarty PANCE during didactic year, and it was truly a game changer for my study routine. Once I started clinical rotations, I bought the subscription, and it made studying for EORs significantly more manageable and efficient. The EOR sections follow the PAEA blueprint exactly, and breaking each topic into presentation, PEARLS, diagnosis, and treatment makes studying more conceptual and memorization that much easier. I love the EOR practice exams for every rotation, the bolded buzzwords, and the review questions at the bottom of almost every topic. It was a crucial resource through both didactic and clinical years that boosted my test scores significantly, and I’ve recommended it to all of my classmates.
This site is life changing. It has restored my confidence in my ability to pass the PANCE and to become a fine PA-C. The organization is by far its greatest feature. Taking on one topic at a time eliminates much of the stress of preparing for boards, and I can go at my own pace and study in whatever way suits me best. I also love the vast number of practice questions and the simple, easy-to-understand explanations of complex topics. Do I recommend it? Yes, 100% yes. It’s superior to every other site I’ve tried.
Smarty PANCE has helped me through the PANRE-LA. I’m in my second year now and have done well so far using it as my reference. Finding information through the blueprints is easy, the topics are broken down to follow the NCCPA blueprint, and the quick videos are helpful. I usually do some practice questions before each set of PANRE-LA questions to get my brain in the right setting. Right now, I’m working through the topics I’m weaker on, with the goal of scoring even higher.
Smarty PANCE is a great resource for a quick refresher, even when I only have a few minutes between patients. The practice exams helped me anticipate the types of questions on my EORs. I love the PEARLS pages. They give a clear, big-picture overview without getting bogged down in details, and everything is hyperlinked, so I can brush up on weaker areas without hunting around. The podcasts are a great part of my drive to rotation and help me walk in the door feeling confident and prepared. Whether you like to read, test yourself, or listen, it works for any learning style, and because it follows the blueprint for your exam, you can feel confident you haven’t missed anything. Highly recommend!
With Smarty PANCE, all of the high-yield information is organized by exam and organ system, which makes it simple to work through the PAEA blueprints and feel confident that I’ve covered the most important details. My favorite features are the high-yield PEARLS organized by blueprint, the daily questions with explanations, and the practice exam questions. I also like the video explanations that connect topics to real-life experience and the real patient cases in ReelDx. And it’s much more affordable than other resources, with more content. I would absolutely recommend Smarty PANCE.
Smarty PANCE gave me organized, clearly structured notes for every EOR and for my PANCE review during my culminating semester. I love the highlighted, color-coded must-not-miss notes that guide my focus, the real-life patient cases, and the Q-bank, which reinforces the material right after I review it. I even follow the podcast on Spotify to listen on the road. I think this is one of the best resources any PA student can come across, and I will forever be looking back at this material. I’ve recommended it to all my friends entering PA school. I just wish I’d known about it earlier!
My test scores have gone up by a lot! I love the breakdown of the blueprint with the most important information highlighted and split into easy-to-digest tabs. Joe’s lessons, the flashcards and practice questions at the end of each lesson, and the practice tests help solidify everything. I listen to podcast episodes on the go, use the mnemonics and memorization tips, and my studying is more productive. Smarty PANCE has helped both my test scores and my confidence in PA school.
Smarty PANCE offers a variety of PANRE study resources at a reasonable price. Other sites offer less, charge more, and keep asking for more money. I love Joe Gilboy’s lectures, Stephen’s podcasts, the ongoing PANRE updates, and how all of the learning options work together to help PAs excel on their exams. The staff are available, respond quickly to questions, and are always working to improve and update the site. It’s clear that Stephen and his team care first about PA exam success. I’ll keep telling other PAs that Smarty PANCE is the best, most comprehensive place to study the NCCPA blueprint, at a truly reasonable cost.
Smarty PANCE showed me where my strengths and weaknesses are. I can take a pretest for each system, go over every topic on the NCCPA blueprint, and then retake the test to see where I stand. Joe Gilboy’s SoundCloud lectures helped me understand difficult topics like cardiology, renal, and pulmonary disease, because he explains the pathophysiology instead of just what to memorize. I did not pass the PANCE the first time, and now I feel much more prepared with the Smarty PANCE layout of studying. It has strengthened the gaps in my knowledge, and I’m even scoring higher on UWorld questions. I highly recommend it to any PA student preparing for boards.
I feel so much more confident approaching clinical situations, and Smarty PANCE has reduced my fears about the PANCE. It’s all-inclusive, with practice questions, extensive study guides, quick cram guides, EOR exams, and the list goes on. I don’t need a bunch of different tools or books, and it saves me from making an excessive number of study guides, so I can focus on the actual studying. The audio notes are great for my drives to school, the cram guides are perfect before tests, and the practice questions show me where I stand. I absolutely recommend it. I already told everyone in my class to get it!
Smarty PANCE helps me focus on the PANCE blueprint and the most high-yield topics while I’m in school, and it’s an amazing way to test my knowledge. I can pick any body system and dive deep into each disease, and the site is so clean and easy to navigate that I can get to exactly what I need in seconds. The sample questions have been a lifesaver, and I love that some rationales come with a sound clip. The study plan breaks everything down day by day before the PANCE and saves me a lot of planning time. Most of all, I love knowing that what I’m studying is current, because Smarty PANCE stays up to date with the latest PANCE blueprint.
I’ve seen a real improvement in my comprehension. I understand topics now rather than just memorizing buzzwords. The practice exams revealed my areas of weakness, which helped me prepare for my course exams, and the questions were similar to my real exams. I love the summary pages that make it easy to compare disorders and see what I need to study next. The videos show how a condition presents in a real person, and Smarty PANCE even pointed out differences between what I was taught in school and what I’ll need for the PANCE. It was absolutely worth the membership and has been a huge learning aid throughout PA school.
Smarty PANCE has been a lifesaver during my clinical year! The EOR-specific topic reviews, EOR tests, and body system courses have been extremely helpful. I love the pre-made flashcards, the quiz questions with each topic, and the sample question showing how each topic will present. Learning through reading, questions, flashcards, Joe Gilboy’s podcasts and videos, and links to other helpful websites makes studying more interactive and stress-free than reading a review book. It’s very user-friendly with a great layout, and it has been my main study tool for my EOR exams. 10/10 recommend!
I’m very satisfied with my membership. I can look at an overview of a topic and go into deeper detail when I want more. I’m a big fan of the end-of-rotation material, because there aren’t many resources that divide information by EOR rather than just end of curriculum, and I like that everything comes straight off the blueprint. My favorite feature is the number of tests: end-of-rotation, cumulative, and body-system exams. I listen to the podcast on my way to rotation and do a quick overview before each EOR. I’ve recommended it to several of my classmates.
Smarty PANCE helped me become more organized with my studying and improve my end-of-rotation exam scores. The blueprint layouts make it easy to find topics, the questions helped me, the PEARLS sections are a great refresher, and the test-taking tips are useful. It kept me organized and was more affordable than other question banks.
This program is a hidden gem of knowledge. It has been my #1 study resource for clinical year. I love the practice questions and practice exams, the recorded lectures, and the ER PA’s brief synopsis after some of the questions. Diagnostic criteria, signs and symptoms, and treatment plans are all right there. I’ve already recommended it, because I know it will help students learn the material better, get better grades, and gain confidence.
Smarty PANCE’s quizzes and explanations are short and to the point, and unlike other services, I can track my own progress, which I find VERY helpful. I was surprised to find Osmosis, Picmonic, and ReelDx integrated right into the lessons. Not having to switch back and forth between services means my study time is efficient and effective. Smarty PANCE has made studying simple, improved my retention, and increased my exam scores. I’ve already recommended it to friends because it’s not “just a question bank” like so many others.
I used Smarty PANCE exclusively to prepare for my PANRE. The QBank was the perfect tool for gauging my progress as I studied, and interestingly, my performance on the actual exam was identical to my practice results. Smarty PANCE is an excellent product at a reasonable price.
The PANCE and EOR blueprints are broken down beautifully with high-yield content that’s easy to digest. I love the question explanations and how smoothly the platform runs. Smarty PANCE delivers the perfect balance of affordability and quality for PA students.
Our school bought Rosh as a class to get a discount, and I wasn’t sure I needed two study resources. But my friends in the upper classes said they liked Smarty PANCE best, and it was very affordable, so I got a membership, and I’m really happy with it. I use all of the resources, including Osmosis and ReelDx, and I love how everything is broken down by EOR and body system. I also like being able to practice questions with immediate feedback, and I really like the questions on the podcasts and the Joe Gilboy sessions!
The endless amount of information and helpful flashcards have made studying less stressful. Smarty PANCE organizes everything so efficiently that I can quickly find what I need for both PANCE and EOR review. It’s perfect for visual learners and easy to use anywhere
The daily blueprint emails, smart fact sheets, and real clinical cases made studying for the PANRE so much easier. It’s rare to find a review course that’s both thorough and engaging. I loved how well the lectures and videos reinforced what I needed most.
The PANRE review content is concise, organized, and practical. I especially appreciate being able to skim through outlines or listen to material in the car. The flexibility to read, watch, or listen makes Smarty PANCE a perfect companion for busy professionals preparing for recertification.
Smarty PANCE provides a wealth of information presented in a clear and engaging way. I love the variety of study methods — from videos to flashcards — that make it easy to stay on top of every topic. It’s a straightforward and affordable tool that simplifies studying for both EORs and boards.
Smarty PANCE helped me consolidate everything I needed for the PANRE. The organization and concise charts make quick review possible even during busy clinic days. I like that it focuses on high-yield information and is easy to navigate when you only have minutes to study.
The mini lectures, Picmonics, and practice questions on Smarty PANCE have been game-changers. I’ve learned to focus on what truly matters and have seen a noticeable improvement in my grades. The structured layout makes studying feel easy and efficient — I only wish I had started using it sooner.
As a practicing PA returning to study for my PANRE, Smarty PANCE has been an incredible refresher.

The platform is thoughtfully organized and has made a huge difference in my confidence heading into recertification.
The content on Smarty PANCE aligns perfectly with the NCCPA Blueprint, and that’s what makes it so powerful.

It’s a reliable, affordable companion through didactic and clinical years.
I love Smarty PANCE for its huge library of reviews, quizzes, and clinical pearls. Everything is organized in a way that makes sense, and I can quickly find exactly what I need for any topic. The question banks and flashcards helped me connect classroom knowledge to real-world applications. It’s truly one of the best values in PA education — comprehensive, affordable, and fun to use.
My EOR scores improved dramatically after using Smarty PANCE. The blueprint reviews and easy-to-follow videos broke down difficult material into digestible pieces, and the practice questions mirrored the real exams. This platform not only helped me pass but actually made studying enjoyable. Every PA student should have access to something this effective.
As someone who learns best through understanding rather than memorization, Smarty PANCE has been a lifesaver. The podcasts, flashcards, and detailed study guides helped me grasp complex topics and retain them long-term. It’s built for real learning — not just test-taking — and has made me more confident in my clinical knowledge. I can’t recommend it enough for PA students preparing for exams or just wanting to master the material.
Smarty PANCE is incredibly user-friendly and well designed for quick, high-yield learning. I love the practice questions, daily emails, and clean outlines for each topic — they keep me on track every day. Since using it, my test scores have gone up, and I feel much more organized in my studying!
The Smarty PANCE blueprints and outlines helped me study easier and more focused, because everything I needed was right at my fingertips. I loved the easy access, the pictures, and having access to the End-of-Rotation practice tests. It is an easy resource to figure out and an excellent overall study tool.
Smarty PANCE is the best way to efficiently and effectively study every topic that may present on the PANCE, and it has been a lifesaver during my didactic year. I love how it incorporates simplified notes, helpful videos, and targeted practice questions for each lesson. I strongly recommend this tool as a great supplement for didactic study, and I look forward to using it for the PANCE.
Since I started using Smarty PANCE, I have been more prepared for my section tests, and my grades have gone up. I love the review lectures with Joe, along with the flashcard sets and the outline of each section. I recommend Smarty PANCE to all my classmates as a crucial tool.
I found that the information was spot on and great for studying, as the material is very well organized and right to the point. The content presentation was perfect for making my study guides, and the integrated quizzes were super helpful. I strongly recommend Smarty PANCE because it was so useful during my didactic year, and I plan on using it throughout my clinicals and EOR exams.
Just wanted to let you know I passed my PANRE with the highest score I have ever received since taking my recertification exams from 2004 until now. This was the last time I had to take the PANRE and used only your Smarty PANCE QBank as the sole source of my study. I focused on all of the topic specific exams and also on every one of your virtual PANRE exams. I took them over and over again until I felt that I could scan the questions for key specifics leading me to the correct answer down from 1 minute to about 30 seconds per question. The virtual PANRE tests definitely helped. On test day I felt like I was just repeating another Smarty PANCE practice exam. I definitely recommend your product and thank you for your dedication in helping with our education and most of all certification.
I passed my PANRE on the first try, with some moderate wiggle room, and I owe it all to Smarty PANCE. To give you a little context: I’ve only practiced in dermatology since graduating from PA school. I haven’t done family or emergency medicine in the past 9.5 years. I studied solely using the Smarty PANCE PANRE blueprint and listened to the podcast with you and Joe Gilboy during my commutes. That’s it—no other books, no other resources. I dedicated about 180 hours of study time over three months, and it worked. Your program truly delivers. If I can pass with only a derm background, anyone can using Smarty PANCE. Thank you for building something so practical and accessible!
I just got my score back—I passed with a 451, which is 101 points above the passing score! I truly want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for extending my membership. I felt so comfortable walking into the exam because of Smarty PANCE. Your kindness is something I’ll always remember. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I used Smarty PANCE to prepare for my PANCE, and it was an absolute game-changer. The platform offers comprehensive and easy-to-follow study materials that cover all the essential topics for the PANCE and align perfectly with the blueprint. The content is broken down into digestible sections, which made studying less overwhelming and much more manageable (a must for such a daunting exam)!
One of the standout features of Smarty PANCE is how user-friendly and accessible it is. Whether you’re looking for practice questions, quizzes, or exam-style tests, everything is structured in a way that boosts understanding, retention, and self-confidence. It’s also incredibly easy to navigate and search for specific topics. By the time exam day rolled around, I felt fully prepared—thanks to Smarty PANCE!
Another aspect that truly sets Smarty PANCE apart is the personalized support from the founder, Stephen, and his wife Wendy. I needed help with a few things and sent an email, and I was so surprised to receive a response from them directly—and so quickly! They are incredibly kind, approachable, and responsive to any questions you may have. It’s rare to find that kind of dedication and personal touch in a study service—especially one for the PANCE.
I highly recommend Smarty PANCE to anyone preparing for the PANCE, or even just for extra support during PA school—whether in didactic or while preparing for EORs. The combination of well-organized content, thorough questions, and exceptional customer service makes it a top choice for ALL PA students and future PAs.
I passed my PANCE with a high score thanks to Stephen and Smarty PANCE—11/10 recommend this platform!
My name is Desiree, and I am currently halfway through my clinical rotations. I just wanted to reach out and say thank you so much for making Smarty Pance. It has been my saving grace!!!! Going into clinical rotations I was horrified because there was no simple review or outline, I was so use to relying on the PowerPoints in didactic to study off of and being thrown out into the wild I felt so overwhelmed with all of the information until I stumbled upon your website. I just wanted to say God bless you and thank you so much!!
Smarty PANCE has revolutionized my study approach! As a PA student, I’ve found it to be an invaluable resource throughout my didactic and clinical years. What sets Smarty PANCE apart is its organization around the blueprints. The topics for End of Rotation (EOR) exams are laid out in an easy-to-follow structure, making my study sessions efficient and effective. The ‘mark as complete’ button for each section keeps me motivated and on track with my study goals. One of the biggest advantages is having all the information in one place. During my didactic year, I no longer needed to juggle multiple sources. Smarty PANCE became my go-to platform for comprehensive study materials. As I transitioned into my clinical year, the study guide sections proved to be a goldmine. The practice exams are particularly helpful in preparing for the real thing. If you’re a PA student looking for a tool to streamline your study process and boost your confidence, look no further than Smarty PANCE. It’s been a game-changer for me!
Smarty PANCE is my #1 tool for studying for EOR exams. I spend hours each week on Smarty PANCE, and it’s the reason I pass my EORs! I love how it breaks down the PAEA topic list, so I always know what to study. The Quizlet flashcards, practice tests, and the percentage completed tracker keep me motivated while studying. I’ve recommended Smarty PANCE to other PA students, and now almost everyone in my cohort uses it. I also follow Smarty PANCE on Instagram and love the questions posted there. Even when I try to take a break from studying, Smarty PANCE keeps me engaged. It’s an excellent resource for PANCE prep, especially for staying on top of various topics.
Smarty PANCE covers material thoroughly and straightforwardly. The blueprint outlines have been instrumental in organizing my studying for EORs and the PANCE. The EOR content is comprehensive and informative, and I really enjoy using this section. The built-in flashcards are a great tool, helping to solidify topics at the end of each review. Three additional benefits include highlighted and bolded pertinent information in the topic reviews, quick access to information from anywhere, and practice questions that effectively assess my knowledge. I would recommend Smarty PANCE because it organizes study material according to the NCCPA Blueprint, providing a cohesive topic review. This ensures that I’m not missing out on important material. Smarty PANCE has significantly improved my knowledge and guided me towards success on my exams.
Subscribing to Smarty PANCE has been worth every penny. My grades in clinical medicine improved by at least 10%, and I love having questions after every topic to test my knowledge and ensure I understand what I’m studying. I plan on using this subscription during clinical rotations to help prepare for my EORs and the PANCE. The questions at the end of each topic and the overview question bank for each subject are incredibly useful. I appreciate the succinct summaries of diseases and the patient cases that show how a specific disease might present. The option to read text, watch a video, or listen to a podcast allows me to review information in a way that suits my mood each day. I highly recommend Smarty PANCE as an excellent tool for reviewing material and preparing for exams, including clinical medicine, EORs, and the PANCE.
As someone juggling two jobs, paying off student loans, and preparing for a new baby, I have found Smarty PANCE extremely affordable and incredibly helpful. It offers excellent study resources and effective ways to learn the material. The quiz questions at the bottom of each learning topic are great for testing your knowledge, and the patient examples are very informative. I especially enjoy listening to audio during commutes, which is a fantastic way to study on the go. The organization of the material has been super helpful for tracking progress and understanding complex topics. Absolutely, I recommend Smarty PANCE! It’s a comprehensive resource that covers all topics, with practice quizzes and exams, flashcards, and great visuals for visual learners. It’s been a blessing and an invaluable resource for learning.
Smarty PANCE has proved invaluable. The brief yet detailed overview of blueprint topics, organized in the same order as they appear on the blueprint, made it easy to navigate and very well-structured. I particularly appreciated the practice questions and exams, and I loved the patient presentation box, which helped me focus on the most common presentations and key words to look out for on the boards. Smarty PANCE was incredibly helpful in getting me started with studying when I didn’t know where to begin, saving me a ton of time that I would have otherwise spent trying to find and organize notes. The organized, detailed yet brief reviews for all blueprint topics were a game changer, and the practice exams were extremely beneficial. I highly recommend Smarty PANCE; it’s definitely a game changer in terms of helping organize studying and quickly covering the most important information. I wish I had gotten it sooner in my clinical year. It’s also very affordable for all the resources provided!
Smarty PANCE has given me a better understanding of clinical topics and has been a great supplement to my clinical medicine class. I especially love the Clinical Pearls Tab, which presents information in a unique and engaging way. The realistic practice exams and the organization/highlights really emphasize the high-yield, important information. This resource has helped the information stick in my brain, making it easy to recall even after the exam. I’ve recommended Smarty PANCE to others because it’s an invaluable tool for solidifying knowledge
I passed the PANCE without issue, thanks to Smarty PANCE and the incredible resources provided by Stephen Pasquini and Joe Gilboy! The immediate feedback, organization, and repetition in different formats—audio, video, written, and live webinars—made studying during the didactic year more efficient and passing the PANCE very accessible. As a PA, I find myself revisiting the basics while still growing and learning in depth at work. The originality and creativity in how the foundation and basics are presented with Smarty PANCE, along with the repetition, help with long-term retention and immediate recall. This is invaluable when applying concepts to more in-depth studies at home, in the clinic while teaching as a preceptor, or while teaching my patients. I highly recommend Smarty PANCE because of the quality and creativity—it’s a proven method that works.
Smarty PANCE has been an incredible resource for my studies. The cost is reasonable compared to other sites, and I appreciate the consideration Smarty PANCE has for students. I love having a condensed yet well-explained blueprint for each system as well as each EOR. The additional resources like lecture videos and audios helped clarify and deepen my understanding of each topic. The flashcards and practice questions were great for repetition-based learning. The interactive blueprint was my favorite feature due to its organization and quick access to topics in the same list as provided by the NCCPA. The practice exam questions, interactive blueprints, and podcast/lectures were instrumental in helping me cover all the topics in a short 1-month period for each EOR. I credit the organization of Smarty PANCE’s website for making my studying efficient and productive. The daily questions are a fantastic addition, and I have no further suggestions—I love the setup! I highly recommend Smarty PANCE for its organization and variety of study resources, including flashcards, questions, PEARLS, and presentation examples.
I passed my EORs with ease and found myself studying more efficiently with Smarty PANCE. The practice exams felt more similar to the EOR questions than any other study methods I had used before. ReelDx helped me visualize the problems, and the study guides for EORs allowed me to clearly see what I knew and what I needed to work on. The PANCE study breakdown is currently helping me prepare for my PANCE exam. My grades improved significantly once I began using Smarty PANCE, and I would highly recommend it. It’s a fantastic resource for studying in PA school—I only wish I had found it sooner!
Smarty PANCE has been so helpful for studying for my EORs! I love the Pearls the best; they break down the information into very digestible pieces, focusing only on what’s truly necessary. The ability to save my progress and return later, along with the combination of lessons and practice tests, makes studying practical and easy to understand. Oh my goodness, YES! Smarty PANCE is affordable, practical, and extremely helpful!
Smarty PANCE’s adherence to the blueprint and hallmarks of conditions are very helpful, especially with the questions at the end of each condition to test your knowledge. I found it invaluable for testing my knowledge, providing an additional reference for studying, and using the organized interface to create a structured study routine. The cost is reasonable, and the platform includes plenty of images and thorough explanations for each condition relevant to PANCE subjects. I highly recommend Smarty PANCE to anyone preparing for the PANCE. It’s an excellent resource for a comprehensive review.
I’ve explored a lot of review courses and exam prep options, and Smarty PANCE truly stands out. This package offers a bit of everything and is incredibly comprehensive. As someone recertifying after 20 years in another area of medicine, I needed both review and testing options, and Smarty PANCE delivered. It’s the real deal! I’m impressed with the quality and quantity of material, which has really helped build my confidence. The platform offers a vast number of questions, structured both by specific topics and as comprehensive exams, with easy access and plenty of options to either study or take a test. The ability to challenge myself or review at my own pace is invaluable. It’s an excellent resource! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a thorough review.
As a PA who has been continuously certified since 1986 but has been working in specialty practice, I found Smarty PANCE incredibly helpful! The breadth and depth of information is amazing, and the exams, PEARLS, and all the extra details are extremely beneficial. The Quizlets and exams are particularly useful for reviewing topics that had faded over time. Smarty PANCE is extremely helpful in revisiting topics that had become mere shadows of their former selves. It’s easy to use even in smaller blocks of time—perfect for quick learning snacks! The variety of information and the engaging presentation make studying much more interesting and fun. I highly recommend Smarty PANCE as an excellent resource for review and learning current diagnosis and treatment, all at a reasonable cost. I also love that Stephen, a PA himself, has worked tirelessly for years to support our community. Thank you! I also appreciate the daily emails of various kinds—they’re a great addition!
Since I began using Smarty PANCE, I’ve passed significantly more exams, and it has become my primary study method. I recommend it to anyone in or about to start PA school! What I love most about Smarty PANCE is that it offers sections for all phases of PA school. I’ve used the specific sections for studying, the EOR exam section for my EORs, and I plan to use it for my upcoming EOC exam. This structure has allowed me to use Smarty PANCE throughout all phases of PA school. I feel it is the most up-to-date study resource I have found, even more than the Current textbook I used during the didactic year. I love having it as an online resource. Many of my classmates use PANCE Prep Pearls and have to carry the books around. With Smarty PANCE online, I can study from my phone anytime, anywhere. The bullet-pointed format helps me comprehend more information and study longer without feeling burnt out.
I was glad to have used Smarty PANCE to prepare for and pass PANRE. The website is user-friendly, well-organized, detailed and focused to help me study the topic areas. I used Smarty PANCE for 3 months after failing PANRE. I passed on my second attempt just 91 days later! The podcasts and audio review portions were particularly helpful for me as it reinforced what I review in books. I would highly recommend this review source for anyone, especially those with busy work schedules.
My name is Cynthia Anagnos. I’ve been a PA in Internal Medicine for over 14 years. I am halfway through the PANRE-LA, having completed 4 quarters last year and embarking on the same this year. While I had happened to have taken a (very good) review course the year prior and thought that would help me with the PANRE-LA, I discovered Smarty PANCE in my second quarter of the PANRE-LA boards and cannot tell you how glad and so very grateful I am! It is so concise and organized, making studying and brushing up on things so very well-focused and easy to find things, whether studying, answering a board question, or now using it in my work as well. Easily by the third quarter of the PANRE-LA, I was no longer bringing my other board review (6-inch binder) resources to study, brush up on topics, and take boards – I just take my laptop and go anywhere. The organization of Smarty PANCE is just great – I can’t say enough! Anything that can help make the boards less stressful is wonderful. Thanks again for all you are doing to help fellow PAs and others. Take care and blessings!
After listening to the five-part Podcast on murmurs, I was finally able to address a difficult question about murmurs. The first thing I did was momentarily panic: then I grabbed a pencil; I am not sure why… then I took a deep breath, relaxed, closed my eyes, and visualized the heart anatomy, and from there, it was a piece of Cake…the stem of the questions has all these clues. Thank you and Joe Gilboy PA-C for giving me the confidence and knowledge to engage the question without anxiety or FEAR….For the first time, my heart does not skip a beat when I see, hear, or answer heart murmurs questions.
I want to share the news that I have passed the PANCE exam on my second attempt! I want to thank you for extending my Smarty PANCE membership. I’m incredibly grateful for your help and feel your program positively impacted my scores. I used Smarty PANCE during my clinical year for EORs, and I’m happy I used it this time to study for the PANCE! Thanks again for helping me during that tough time!
This was by far the best investment for my review for the Panre exam! I had physical challenges over the last two years that interfered with my concentration. I have been a seasoned Physician Assistant for 15 years. No guidance over the last two review sites and courses regarding the changing format for my test. Until I found Smarty Pance! Thank you!! Raised my score considerably!
The first time I took the PANCE I failed. I had Rosh, Exam Master, PANCE Prep Pearls, and more…it shattered my confidence. I went through Smarty PANCE’s whole course. I studied every flashcard, listened to every audio and video clip, and did every question…I retook the PANCE, and I passed! I don’t think I could have done it without this course. The repetition, the question breakdowns, the course completions all built back my confidence, lessened my fear, and made it possible for me to officially be a PA-C and for that, I thank you all with all my heart.
Smarty PANCE has been an incredible resource and supplementation to clinical year and has made studying much more doable and focused. I love the organization of Smarty PANCE, particularly how topics are broken down for each EOR and the number of practice questions available. Learning is interactive and perfect for all types of PA students!
Smarty PANCE offers so many resources for different kinds of learning- from questions to videos to to-do lists that assign tasks for you to complete every day. You have options for what kind of studying you want to be completing and what works for you, all tailored to the PANCE. I would highly recommend smarty PANCE because it stands out from the rest of the PANCE resources out there- it is not just a question bank! It has highlighted summary sheets, examples of what you may see in questions, and organizes topics from the EOR exam to body systems to allow for success in all kinds of tests you may encounter in PA school.
Since purchasing Smarty PANCE my test scores have increased. I am now understanding medicine in regards to clinical presentation and treatment. I also am more confident speaking up in class, due to feeling that I understand the materials better. Practice questions gave me confidence on exams and I love Joe’s lectures, they are so helpful and captivating. Almost my whole class has signed up and we found that we are all doing better as a cohort!
I LOVE this website. There are so many great resources here! I have used this site as a major study guide for my EORs and have gotten all high scores. I love the podcasts and all the extra resources. Thank you!
Smarty PANCE is my best source of study material! It’s all I need to pass my EORs and my favorite! It has everything I need in an organized way that is easy to follow. I love that it goes through each EOR topic list in order and has practice questions along the way. I recommend it to everyone in my class! It takes out the effort of sifting through numerous sources of material, which gives me more time to study, the mental ease of knowing everything I need is in one place, and I can take it on the go to my rotations or a coffee shop with just my laptop!
This stuff is great!! Affordable for one too. I’ve been a PA for 35 years and I probably have one more test in me. I bought this for review as the PA students using this were showing me up!
Great product. Thank you!
Smarty PANCE is everything, and I recommend it to everyone! My only regret is that I wish I would have gotten Smarty PANCE earlier. This has been a savior to me this semester, and I dont know how I have survived this long without it. I love how organized everything is and the structure of the outlines. I love the fact there are practice exams and quizzes along with the pearls, podcasts, and lectures.
I passed my PANRE exam every 6 years since 1994 but then failed my recert exam twice in 2020. I paid to take the NCCPA practice exams, but there were no explanations about the answer choices, and I could not save any material for review unless I paid another $50! I was working in GI med for 18 years and had forgotten a lot of primary care info. Finally, I bought a subscription to Smarty Pance, which is a great study tool, and I passed the PANRE on my 3rd try! I continue to use Smarty Pance regularly, thank you! It’s without a doubt the best source of info for PAs that I have found in my 27 years as a PA.
IMPECCABLE! Content clarity and ease of progress throughout each and every PA rotation course. I am beyond pleased and truly grateful for this amazing platform you have set up for us students. The content structure is SOOOO easy to follow and really helps to check off content areas as we progress through each course. Very easy to pick up where we left off.
I have been a practicing PA since 1994, and I passed the original two-day PANCE, my 1st PANRE, my 2nd PANRE…heck, I even passed a third PANRE. But, I was devastated when I failed the 4th PANRE. I did not know what to do or how to study until I came across Smartypance. What a gem. It was exactly what I needed to get me focused. I listened to the Podcast, all the lectures and reviewed all the material. I found out today I passed the second attempt of the PANRE with the highest score I have ever had on a PANRE. What a relief to know I am certified for 10 more years.
Smarty PANCE offers a focused study/review tool that can be used to learn about specific diagnoses and more systemic connections. It has also been very useful in clinical rotations to help add to or narrow down a differential diagnosis. I love that the information is concise, has an easy to manage user interface, and the question bank has great depth and is very useful.
Smarty PANCE is easy to follow, is very clear and focused, and has additional resources and Picmonics to help explain topics. It also offers long-form exams to help facilitate my studying and blends this with shorter, topic-specific exams. I love that it offers individual lectures and mnemonics to remember things!
I regained my confidence after not passing my first EOR. Smarty PANCE helped me pass my second attempt and I continue to use it through my rotations for EOR prep. The Joe Gilboy reviews are seriously PRICELESS. It’s not about memorization, he goes through and explains concepts, pathologies, medications, etc. This resource was better than I could have imagined! I would recommend Smarty PANCE to anyone, there are so many different modalities to take advantage of to continue learning, succeed on the exams, and continue to prep for the PANCE! This resource is worth every penny! The only regret I have is that I didn’t have this resource sooner!
I wanted to reach out and say thank you for your smarty pance resources! I did not pass my pance exam the first round but then used your website and especially the practice questions this round and PASSED!! Thank you so much! Your content and review questions were so helpful!
There are two things you need to get through PA school: 1. You need to be proficient at taking a test and 2. learn medicine in a way that you are able to treat patients. This resource is great for taking exams because it is high-yield, quick, and to the point. The lectures are fabulous, and Smarty PANCE provides easy, clear instruction tailored to preparing students to pass their PANCE, PANRE, and EOR exams.
Smarty PANCE is an amazing app that I have used throughout my entire time in school! You can’t beat a website that gives you practice questions for each section, practice exams, Quizlets, guides, etc. This website literally has it all! The high yield cram sections are amazing! I love how each section is broken down and easily accessible, and the questions under each topic are great for quick learning.
Smarty PANCE is an amazing supplemental resource for my classwork and preparations for rotations. I plan to use the blueprint/exam studying organizer in my months between didactic year and clinical rotations, which have been delayed during COVID. I love that materials are organized under each topic and that there are tons of practice questions along with extra resources like osmosis etc. I have recommended Smarty PANCE to all my classmates!
I would recommend Smarty PANCE because it is packed with an organized approach for covering all the content you need, and integrates helpful videos, practice questions, and bite-sized reviews into one comprehensive package. Smarty PANCE provides a focused but thorough review that follows the blueprint which makes it a reliable and efficient tool for studying for boards. Practice questions, EOR study, and ability to track your progress through each section!
I have tried several online exam preps, so far yours is the best, I wish I had found it sooner.
With an overwhelming amount of information in PA school, it’s nice to have a concise review version of the material to reference. I love the body system specific & EOR exams, access to review material & questions, the podcasts to use during commute, and the links to Osmosis.
Smarty PANCE offers information in a way that is short, sweet, and to the point. Makes me ABLE to do it vs. feeling overwhelmed. I like the option to do questions at the bottom of the lessons, videos (I am a virtual learner), highlighting and bolding, along with exams at the end. It is the BEST resource. We are a tech generation, this is much needed over a book.
Smarty PANCE is a one-stop-shop with practice questions, lectures, podcasts, pdfs. You name it. Smarty PANCE has it. Ease of access, easy to understand interface, thorough information, affordable, mobile-friendly, and with great information. Smarty PANCE has everything needed to succeed in clinical year!
Smarty PANCE helps me identify key information about medical conditions and helps me understand the material in better depth. It has great study material as well as learning tools and the practice tests are invaluable. It also helps to reinforce the material you learned in lecture. Smarty PANCE combines clarifying videos about the material, incorporates Osmosis videos with Smarty PANCE material, along with daily questions to email for PANCE prep!
I’m incredibly thankful for this tool for my clinic year. It has been really helpful in getting me ready for the EOR exams as well as the PANCE. I love the PANCE practice questions, EOR Practice exams, Picmonic and Osmosis integration
Smarty PANCE is the best resource I have found to study. So beneficial, is having a one-stop-shop for all topics EOR related. The information is sorted by PAEA blueprints – so easy and functional to find the information you are looking for. The bonus is you always have it with you because it is online.
Smarty PANCE offers clear, concise studying. Whereas it would’ve taken so much precious time to gather information about all of the topics we needed to know from different resources, it was all in one place and made a world of difference in my didactic studying. I like the exams that go with each section and the explanations for every question. I also loved the flashcards! It is beneficial to have a resource that goes right along with the PANCE blueprint since that is what our school tries to do with each of our modules. It’s easy to navigate and find topics, so study time isn’t exclusively spent on organizing material, it is all laid out for me. Our faculty refers to Smarty PANCE as well! So I always know I am studying the right thing.
Smarty PANCE is the best investment I made for my career as a PA student and it is the best way to review for upcoming exams and during rotations. I love ReelDX and how organized all the topics are. Additionally, I appreciate the ease of access, questions are great practice, and the podcasts are great when driving to and from rotations.
Smarty PANCE has been a lifesaver! What first made me purchase it was the surgical rotation course, which is a very rare find and helps me reinforce information from my rotation and from didactics. I love the way it breaks information into easy-to-digest chunks, which definitely helps with retention, and I enjoy the questions and flashcards that come with most lessons. It’s quick, concise, and to the point, and I love that it brings in ReelDx, Osmosis, and Picmonic. I can progress through a few modules in between reviewing slides and book material, and I actually look forward to it. I’ve definitely recommended it to my friends for their upcoming rotations.
Because of the volume and quality of material available for study in Smarty PANCE, I have been able to take my end of rotation exams with confidence that I will be prepared to pass. So far, Smarty PANCE hasn’t let me down and has provided me with the perfect test-prep resource. My favorite thing about Smarty PANCE is that the sheer volume of material for study, as well as additional resources provided (year-long premium subscription to the podcast, etc.), make the cost of membership one of the smartest investments I could possibly make as I prepare to take my PANCE. Smarty PANCE is the best value by far of any other PANCE and EOR test prep service.
I love the exams! They helped me to better retain information and perform better on my in-class exams. I also found the short, to the point info on each subject helpful to digest and retain info. I recommend Smarty PANCE to all my classmates. I love the exams, the ReelDx videos, and the integration with Picmonic. And with all this to offer Smarty PANCE is very affordable compared to other subscription services like it!
OMG! This is the best review for PAs trying to pass the PANRE. My wife and I are both PAs and are impressed. Smarty PANCE has focused subject areas that allow me to learn and review the subjects that I need help with. The downloadable review is critical so that I can retain fast facts for board questions. I have been to review courses, but Smarty PANCE is specifically for PAs and focuses on information retention and passing the PANCE/PANRE!
It got me through PA school and my EOR’s! Smarty PANCE helped me organize things, and learn the type of questions that would be asked for each subject. I appreciate how the study guides take you through each lesson with the quizzes at the end, this really helped with learning and organizing each subject. I learned more from Smarty Pance than through my class lectures!
Wonderful quality website, awesome podcasts, great quality quizlets! I like it better than most of the other board prep sites I have tried throughout my didactic year. Since I began using Smarty PANCE I have had better test scores and I feel more confident while taking my exams. I love the easy search bars for quick finds!
I like how information is organized and given per the PAEA EOR reading lists, which saves me time and has helped me study for my EOR exams more efficiently. I like the hyperlinks that show pictures while reading, and I am continuously reminded of information once forgotten from the didactic year by taking the practice EOR exams. The repetition of questions used in the EOR exams has helped solidify the information I learned.
Smarty PANCE brings a lot of information from various sources. During didactic year, I would spend a lot of time finding podcasts and YouTube videos that correlate with the topic I am learning about. Smarty PANCE saves me that time because most topics have a linked youtube video, lecture, or podcast. Very helpful! Another benefit is the EOR exams that come included in the membership. Such a low price for the amount of material and information we get. I also Quizlet a lot throughout the didactic year. Another benefit of Smarty PANCE is that it has flashcards that you can use from Quizlet, and when I log in through my Quizlet account later, I can save them to my folder and star the cards that I want to go back and study. I recommended Smarty PANCE to all my classmates and a few friends that are in other programs. It has so much information that is well organized, and you can’t find anything better, especially for the price!
Smarty PANCE is worth the money! The REEL patient stories, practice questions, and flashcards helped immensely. SP does what didactic year doesn’t offer you, and that is a connection to patients. Having a face to a disease state is incredibly helpful because it reminded me of why I was working so hard to learn the information. The lectures were hilariously entertaining. Even my spouse, who is not in medicine, would listen in. Connection to other resources, such as podcasts, YouTube videos, Osmosis, printable tests/flashcards. I loved the practice test responses, how the answers, both right and wrong, gave meaningful explanations. Would I recommend Smarty PANCE? YES YES YES! SP will be helpful for whatever type of learner you are. The advice and connection to resources is priceless!
Smarty PANCE has been really great for studying for the EORs. I truly enjoy the blueprints and how it is set up. Great use of external sources, highlighted important key facts, presents the information in multiple ways. I have recommended it to the incoming class especially for the EOR courses as they helped me so much during rotations and preparing for the EORs.
I recommend Smarty PANCE to all of the incoming PA students. It is so easy to use and it gives you the right info, what is relevant, and allows you to test your knowledge. It has been super beneficial for my studies. I love the layout, the quizzes, the patient presentations, and the concise info. What would I change about Smarty PANCE? Nothing, it’s perfect!
Smarty PANCE is an essential part of my life long learning. Everything is well organized, and I love the combination of PANCE style questions and real-life situations that goes right along with the book material.
Smarty PANCE is very user friendly. The quizzes help highlight my weak points before taking a test. Smarty PANCE has practice tests, videos/lectures, and useful pearls. It’s an all in one resource.
Smarty PANCE is all I use for my exams, and now my rotations. I have never failed an exam, and I’m convinced it’s Smarty PANCE! It is a well organized, comprehensive, and has invaluable study material! I love all the hyperlinks and the images, as well as the accuracy of the topics and that I have everything in here: The blueprint, all the topics, plus questions. I also love the EORE course material. I would recommend Smarty PANCE 200%!
Smarty PANCE has the information needed as well as so many practice exams to make sure you are learning the information! The practice questions really reinforced my learning and the ReelDx clips enhance my understanding of difficult topics. My grades improved on my EOREs and the information is all in one location rather than having to sift through various review books.
I almost solely used Smarty PANCE during my clinical year, and have passed all of my EOR exams with flying colors. I love the practice EOR exams, easy online access that saves your progress, and the fact that it has succinct, easy to understand content. It is worth every penny!
Smarty PANCE is the best study tool I have ever used and it makes me feel very prepared for my exams. It is an amazing resource that allows me to focus on the most important aspects of each topic along with helping me to develop ways to remember the information. I love how there are lectures, videos, Picmonics, and flashcards attached to almost every topic! Smarty PANCE combines targeted studying, lots of questions to test my knowledge, and teaching for all types of learning styles.
Since using Smarty PANCE my EORE scores have increased and my understanding of topics is much better. I like that every topic is broken up with most topics having questions. I also liked the EORE courses as they were super helpful and I like that Smarty PANCE follows the format of the PANCE blueprint exactly. I would recommend Smarty PANCE as it is extremely helpful for studying for EOREs.
Since purchasing Smarty PANCE I have been killing my EOR’s. I like being able to track my progress through the topics along with the variety of content. Smarty PANCE is easy to access on tablets, phones, or computers. I enjoy the study questions and bulleted review topics, the practice EOR exams, and content blueprint courses.
I find the patient case presentations and EOR exams to be very helpful. I particularly like the question banks, flashcards, pearls tables, and the different topics broken down by blueprint.
As a result of using Smarty PANCE, my confidence level for the EORs and the PANCE has increased. I love the sheer amount of questions and different types of tests along with the blueprints with various study modes. I like that I can practice long tests, that I have access to Picmonics and access to the audio lectures. I would highly recommend Smarty PANCE for its relatively low cost and many benefits.
Smarty PANCE packs a lot of helpful study resources into one all-inclusive package. I love the end of rotation exams, Picmonics, access to the podcast and the PEARLS review tables.
Smarty PANCE provides a strong overview of the material studied in PA school. I particularly like the topic-specific exams. I like that I have the ability to study via laptop or phone, Smarty PANCE is affordable and offers great content from experienced PAs. I would highly recommend Smarty PANCE as a necessary supplement to core program materials.
Smarty PANCE has become my main source for exam preparation because it’s online and I’m a computer person, and less of a book person. It’s so well organized and in line with NCCPA PANCE content. It’s organized by organ systems and it perfectly correlates to the PANCE and EOR exams, so you can trust that what you study on smartypance, is what you’re set to be tested on. You get the benefit of not having to lug a book around. When I was in clinical rotation and needed to look up info, I could hop on any computer available and pull up smartypance and get the info I needed quickly! The test questions they offer help to reinforce what you’ve learned and they also have online flashcards to further drill the info into your mind. It was a key resource for passing my PANCE! I HIGHLY recommend smartypance to all PA students! Now that I’m a PA-C, I still plan to keep smartypance as a quickly accessible information resource!
Smarty PANCE offers comprehensive review courses, videos and other creative formats to help the information stick, and great study/exam tips. Other platforms out there are really expensive for students and Smarty PANCE offers reasonable prices and offers so many helpful platforms that it is worth the price for any PA student.
Smarty PANCE has helped me so much on my EOR’s and my scores have gone up by 20%. I particularly love that it follows the blueprint exactly, there are tons of practice exams, EOR specific content, as well as topic-specific exams.
I have performed significantly better on quizzes this semester. SmartyPANCE has made studying difficult subjects so much more enjoyable. It has also provided me with effective ways to remember various topics while enforcing the main points of each disease state. My program uses PANCE based questions for our tests/quizzes and I feel so much more prepared for them while supplementing my studying with Smarty PANCE.
Smarty PANCE has everything you need as a PA: lectures, practice questions, flashcards, EOR exam courses, and everything is in one spot. I don’t have to reference eight other sources or study materials.
Smarty PANCE has great questions banks, concise information and the material follows the blueprint. I love that the website is easy to use and the questions are relevant. The audio and video lectures by Joe Gilboy are excellent.
Smarty PANCE is a wonderful tool to prepare for didactic exam in addition to preparing for the PANCE. The system based exams are extremely helpful in gauging my progress while studying and helping me determine where I need work.
My clinical medicine class exam scores have increased dramatically since starting to use Smarty PANCE. I love that Smarty PANCE combines practice tests, flashcards for review and patient presentations while pointing out the main keywords that students must pay attention to.
I like that the review is broken down for PANCE and PANRE. I did not need to study topics that would not be part of the PANRE exam. I also like how each topic is broken down into presentation, diagnostic studies, treatment, etc. I like being able to follow the NCCPA blueprint along with the review. It just makes sense.
Smarty PANCE is an exceptional tool for preparing for the PANCE. I love the practice questions, ReelDx videos, and ability to read through short summaries of each disease process.
I really like the blueprints, highlighting the most important part of each disease process. The questions on Smarty PANCE do a good job of bringing everything together and I like to use it before my unit exams.
Smarty PANCE is a super helpful resource and I feel this is a great tool to prepare you for the PANCE. The videos and real-life examples all in one resource help eliminate time spent organizing thoughts/notes and more time on refreshing/learning content. I love the vignettes and disease summaries and the assurance I have knowing that the resource line up with the PA school curriculum for my current program.
Smarty PANCE matched the PANCE blueprint perfectly and the PEARLS sections are full of great mnemonics and memory aids! I love having confidence in the material provided.
The EOR walkthroughs help me organize and prime my studying, the flashcards help enforce, and the tests locked it all in. Very similar question profile to actual EOR’s, which made me both more confident and more prepared. I love the organization, and continuous updates (2020 blueprints, etc.) Smarty PANCE is one of my two primary study tools. I can follow the content walkthroughs, quiz, cross-reference with my notes, watch videos, AND get practice exams! Sign me up. All-day. Every day. Wouldn’t have survived didactic OR clinical without it.
After starting to use Smarty PANCE my grades improved and I developed a long term understanding of the material. Smarty PANCE gives me the ability to review topics at ease, decreases my stress when reviewing for exams, and saves me time while studying. It offers multiple approaches to learning (video, audio, etc.) and the info keeps up to date. It also offers lots of practice questions pertinent to the board exams and the ability to review materials anytime and anywhere.
I love that Smarty PANCE has audio files that I can listen to on the go when cutting grass, commuting, etc. It is by far the best overall practice site and learning tool on the market for the money spent!
As a result of buying Smarty PANCE, the stress I felt about organizing my study material and finding appropriate testing resources quickly dissolved. The layout is designed in a way that not only eases that stress but ensures that you cover the appropriate material. My favorite features were the End of Rotation exams. Studying for the PANCE is extremely important, but you have to achieve the milestones such as passing EOR exams on the way to taking the PANCE. SmartyPANCE made sure that no area of my success was forgotten. In three words the benefits of SmartyPANCE are that it is user-friendly, cost-effective, and evolving. Don’t waste time studying material that doesn’t change with the exam and make sure that you study the appropriate material – things that Smarty PANCE makes doing easy. I would recommend SmartyPANCE to anyone seeking a time-saving and cost-effective study resource for their PANCE – which in my opinion, should be everyone.
Smarty PANCE has helped me understand the material better in a case-based way! It really allowed me to expand on the facts and knowledge I knew and put it into action through these exams! I recommend Smarty PANCE to my friends and it is a great tool to get extra exam questions that are just like the PANCE
Using Smarty PANCE has helped focus my studying for EORs and the PANCE immensely. Especially the general surgery EOR course. I love the quiz questions with each topic lesson to ensure an understanding of key points. I can practice EORs, It integrates multiple different platforms to target all types of learners and you can augment your learning with the podcasts. Smarty PANCE is my go-to study guide so I don’t have to waste hours and hours making my own only to run out of time before I can study them. I would absolutely recommend Smarty PANCE. It is very focused and helps you identify and remember what’s most important as a PA student.
Smarty PANCE has lots of test questions and information in a great format regarding S/Sx and treatments of Diseases. I especially love the test questions, print outs of meds for diseases and case presentations.
I can think through answers better and they are set up like PANRE/PANCE questions so this is a great studying tool. I also like the explanations given. Smarty PANCE offers multiple different ways to study if you don’t want to just take tests, it works well on my phone and has multiple different kinds of test options including specialty-specific exams.
Smarty PANCE has allowed me to better understand medical topics by offering real-life patient scenarios, multiple-choice exams, EOR topic lists, and lectures!
Smarty PANCE is a great tool for students studying for exams during the didactic year, clinical year, and the boards. I love the EOR practice exams and interactive blueprints.
Smarty PANCE prepares you for the PANCE like no other system I have ever utilized. It’s a very comprehensive system with a thorough topic review for all of the Blueprints.
I am a huge fan of smartypance! I feel like it taught me more than my PA program ever did. Would not have killed every single end of rotation exam without it.
The highest score I’ve ever gotten!! Absolutely excited and love your website! After the 3rd time in 12 years taking (PANCE, PANRE at year 6 and now at 12) I was extremely nervous! I will recommend this for everyone taking (including the revolving door of students I precept).
Good morning folks, and I do mean it’s a good morning!! I PASSED my third attempt at the PANRE. It is also the LAST time I will ever have to take the bloody thing, EVER!! Thank y’all for the support and all the positive vibes. That and the ceremonial sacrificing of the chicken, behind the parking garage, on the way in. BTW, it was yummy after putting it on the grill later that evening. What! Do you think I’m kidding? I’ve been on unpaid leave for a month. I ain’t wasting a chicken. Anyway, I hope you all get a warm, fuzzy feeling later today, when I toast (with a fine, aged, Caribbean rum) you all, the good Lord above, all the angels and saints and, of course, the chicken. Take care, everyone, and thanks again from the grumpy old dinosaur.
As a former educator, I highly recommend SMARTY PANCE! This resource successfully caters to multiple learning styles (visual, aural, linguistic, logical…) in an easy-to-navigate website. I love the way pictures, sounds, graphics, and videos are intertwined with key details about each topic on the PANCE blueprint. The organization is just what I needed to stay on track. I can happily say that I passed the PANCE the first time around, and I have this resource to thank! Best of luck to those still studying!
I am a current PA clinical student in the great state of MISSISSIPPI!! I used Smarty PANCE almost exclusively for supplemental studying and practice tests. I currently have a 4.0 GPA in my program and scored in the 99th percentile on my end of didactic year PACKRAT!! I owe a huge thank you for everything you do! I will be a lifelong (or at least career-long) member!! Thanks again!
I just wanted to thank you for an excellent online course. I took my PANRE 3 weeks ago, and I passed with flying colors. I did better this time compared to 6 years ago. Being in orthopedics, I didn’t realize how much I had forgotten in all the other areas. However, with persistence and your course, it truly paid off. Thanks again.
I passed my boards in March. Your program got me through. Thank you so much!!
Your board review saved me! Due to medical issues, I have not been a practicing PA for several years and ended up letting my certification expire. To be honest, I thought I would never work in the field again (mentally, I was in a very dark place). Eventually, with a lot of hard work, I was able to climb out of the darkness and decided to regain my certification…yikes! I studied and studied, (used Rosh review) took my boards, and failed! I wasn’t surprised, but I was not about to give up! I had forgotten how to study effectively. I decided to use Smarty PANCE, and I found you!! Your lectures were amazing and informative. I stopped trying to memorize, and then everything started to click. I was able to understand cardio in a way I never could before (my least favorite system). Now I appreciate it, and it was my best scoring topic! After three months of Smarty Pance and listening to you and taking notes on your notes, I retook my test and PASSED!! I am a PA-C again! Thank you for being a fantastic teacher. It is a gift!! I wish you and your family all the happiness in the world.
I just wanted to let you know that your site was a tremendous help in preparing for the PANCE. I have recommended it to all of my colleagues who need to certify/recertify. Thanks for putting this excellent resource together.
