To prepare for the PANCE I created a 5 week study plan, Monday through Friday from 9am until I finish my assigned work for the day (hopefully around 6pm), Saturday I will review the topics from the week followed by a Mock PANCE block of questions from Rosh Review, leaving Sundays for rest.
Each day I plan to study a specific topic as well as do 2 sets of 60 questions per day (AM & PM). Questions will be from Rosh Review, Kaplan, and ExamMaster. After each set of questions I will review the topics I answered incorrectly using PPP and SmartyPance.
I plan to take 2 full length practice exams. The first on 1/7 (right after the review course). After the review course and 1/7 practice exam will re-identify areas of weakness and tailor studying towards those areas. The second practice exam will be on 1/17. The final week of study will be for high yield topics and topics I identify as weaknesses based on the full length exam on 1/17.
I will start by studying weakness based on the EOC, then progress through the higher percentage subjects based on the PANCE blueprint from PAEA.
EOC weaknesses:
-Psych
-HEENT
-Hematology
-ID
-Neuro
-Ortho/Rheum
PANCE blueprint highest percentage topics:
-cardio
-pulm
-GI
-musculoskeletal
-followed by endo, HEENT, neuro, reproductive
