PANCE Study Plan

In preparation for the PACNE I have created the following 5 week table to organize and guide myself. Since the exam is scheduled early in the morning I would like to build my stamina and focus during that time of day. I will start the day by getting into the habit of doing two 1 hour blocks of 60 questions with a short 15 minute break in between each block. The questions will be coming from the Rosh Review and Kaplan testing banks. I will review my answers after completing each block, and read further into PPP for questions that I got wrong. I will then take an hour break to eat and relax before returning to review the topics on PPP, Osmosis, and OnlineMedEd. After a short break in the evening I will re-review the questions that I had gotten wrong during the morning as well as finish reviewing any anki/quizlet flashcards. I will try to ensure that I sleep at the same time each day. On Saturdays I would like to hold a mock test for myself in order to test my knowledge and stamina. I will rest on Sunday.
