Physician Assistant Boards Q&A App Reviews

Great review in prep for exam or just randomly test your knowledge in different disciplines.

I just took the re-cert for the fourth time and this app was very helpful. Good bank of questions. You definitely need to buy the extra questions. The questions are a good representation of what is on the test. However, some of the answers dont correlate with the question. Needs s little better proofreading. Also, would be better if the images were of better quality. It is tough to see detail on the small black and white images.

This application is very good and very easy to use. The questions are well selected and interesting.

Perfect for reviewing, questions are pertinent to Pance material, adds arent really bothersome at all.

I used the Rosh review. Which is three times as expensive and a little bit too broad. I find this app to be helpful although I have yet to take my test. I passed the first time around he using the printed edition. I think the app is easier to use and plan on purchasing the full version.

For the most part, this is a pretty good question bank. But I have found several questions that have the wrong answer choice selected. The "correct answer" is in complete contradiction with the explanation below the answers. I think it would be helpful for the questions to be reviewed, and make sure that the correct answer is tagged as the "right answer".

Pretty good , an error here or there, but overall a great resource.

Update, 11/28/16: Took PANRE 1 month ago and aced it. This was the first time I took the test without touching a physical book. This app and some additional reading was all I did. See older review below. This app is pretty much all you need to pass the PANCE or PANRE on condition that you do SOME additional reading. I found that using the app and quickly googling/referring to my Merck Manual app/other resources right on my iPhone...was a perfect way to consolidate what I was studying and often to get better/more well-rounded information. Make no mistake, this app covers ALL the critical data you need to know for the generalist exam. Its your job to round off your understanding with additional reading. That additional reading added maybe 2-3 minutes for each question at most, given how blessed we are to live in the digital age with knowledge at our fingertips. Now for the cons. There are several minor typos but I havent found any actual medically incorrect information. Perhaps I missed it, I dont know. Why use the app over a physical book? Because it gives you real time answers, tracks your progress, grades your work, shows you your strengths and weaknesses. It has a feature that maps and graphs your progress with data regarding your individual and overall scores along with scores for each section. It also tells you how much of time you spent on average per question. Thats priceless. Regarding the errors, Ive contacted the developer often and the responses were pretty fast. Use the "report a problem" link inside the app. Its buried under the icon on the bottom left that looks like a stack of pages. Highly recommended

Love the questions, they are high yield. You need to practice more though...more bank questions would be great!

Good on the go review for end of rotation exams and PANCE preparation. I appreciate that we have the ability to flag questions to review again

It works so well for both!

My only complaint is, if I skip over a question, I cant swipe backwards to review it. Could be user error, but would be nice to easily go back to questions I either accidentally swiped passed or already answered so I can review the material again.

I appreciate the variety of the questions. I like being able to modify the test format. The discussion of correct vs. incorrect is reasonable and logical. In general it is a use tool for studying. I would prefer a more straightforward way to move from one question to the next but once I figured it out it is easy enough.

I bought this app when I was in phase 2 so I could study whenever I had a spare couple of minutes, and Im still glad I did. There are a ton of questions and they do update them. You can take a quiz by specialty if youre weak in one area, or you can shuffle the whole deck. Quizzes can be set for 5-25 questions. As soon as you answer one you get feedback on why the right choice was right and the others wrong. I passed the PANCE, but I still use this app occasionally just to test myself and brush up. I will definitely use it when it comes time to take the PANRE. I highly recommend this for any PA Student or practicing PA.

How do I report answers that are obviously incorrect?

Great review. No problem with accuracy of questions yet. It works well on my iPhone and works fantastic on my iPad. Only had to pay the $50 once for it to work on both devices. You just have to restore previous purchases on whatever device wasnt used to make the in app purchase. Well worth the money. I recommend this to anyone prepping for the PANCE.

As someone looking to get a better feel for the PANCE and the type of knowledge and questions the exam contains, this was a fun app to test my current knowledge. I am looking into applying to PA programs so Im investigating as much as possible. This is a great app to get a feel for the field!

This takes what was learnt and solidifies it. The best way to remember information and to understand it even better

Great review! A few more questions would be nice, maybe link app to Lange book with scan code for more questions?

I like the fact that I could get it on my IPhone and test myself anywhere.
