PA-C Thanks for your expertise and passion for developing this website.   It was valuable to me for studying for the PANRE.   Plus, love that its free, as opposed to the NCCPA who charges $35 per practice exam. Keith RemoPA-C I knocked the PANRE out of the park in May. Your website was so helpful!! Thanks for keeping it affordable.you smoke the in-person review courses! Morgan Miller, PA-C This is the absolute best way to prep for the PANRE. I have worked as PA-C since 1999. Family Practice is my area of expertise. My first time I decided not to study and take the test and see how I would do. I barely missed passing the test. A little frustrating but not a big deal. Now it is time to study. I looked at a number of systems and decided to use SmartyPANCE and the PA Life Academy. I did modify it by just taking test questions over a two month period and allowing the questions to teach me. I easily passed and improved my score by over 50 points. My take away is to continue the daily questions Stephen sends out and then taking tests and researching areas I need to shore up. Thanks Stephen for a practical approach to PANRE. Gregory Bickel, PA-C I love your site and think that it is the most enjoyable studying resource that I have use so far. David PA-S Stephen, Just wanted to let you know that I am enjoying your site very much and believe it is helping more than any other site Ive used thus-far (I have done HippoPA, not bad, and Brian Wallaces site). Will study some more, dont feel ready yet! Im an older PA, practiced for 18 years, have done the at home board tests the last two. I am nervous about taking the test center exam! Thanks again for your site, and the best to you! Rebecca Lynch, PA-C Just passed my PANRE. I wanted to say that it was entirely due to your review material and podcasts. Thanks! Shaun Johnson PA-C Just letting you know I PASSED my boards. Thank you so so very much for the advise. May the Lord Almighty continue to bless you real good. Manyi PA-C Dear Stephen, I just want to take a moment and let you know how much I appreciate your website and the resources that you have made available to us. As I started preparing for my PANRE I realized it was going to take more than just reading the NCCPA blueprint topic areas. For the last 6 years I focused on being a mom and I chose to push the pause button on my PA career. I am thrilled to say that I passed my PANRE and this was possible because of your question style reviews and testing. This has been my favorite method to prepare for recertification. Ive taken the PANRE 3 times in the last 20 years and this time around I would not have been ready without thePAlife. Thank you for creating a great site thats affordable!! Aida Scanlon PA-C Just took and passed the PANCE!! I breezed through the test and scored well. Your course was a huge help in preparing. Both knowledge and test-taking skills. I would highly recommend this to others.
