The Smarty PANCE Test-Taking Masterclass

The most common reason people don’t pass their exams or struggle in PA school is that, despite years of higher education, they have never been taught how to effectively take exams!

This comprehensive course, taught by NCCPA PANCE and PANRE exam question writer Erich Fogg, PA-C, will teach you a simple four-step process to take the "stress out of the test" and allow you to pass high-stakes exams confidently.

The course covers a wide range of essential test-taking strategies, including how to systematically read and understand clinical vignettes, eliminate plausible but incorrect distractors, narrow down your options when unsure of the answer, and effectively use QBanks for reverse study.

With over four hours of video lectures and practice quizzes, the PANCE and PANRE Test-Taking Masterclass is the perfect way to prepare for all your upcoming exams. Use this link to sign up using our Smarty PANCE members-only discount!
