The Physician Assistant National Certifying Exam (PANCE) - the initial certification exam.
PANCE is a computer-based, multiple-choice test comprised of questions that assess basic medical and surgical knowledge administered at Pearson VUE testing centers. Cost $475
The material on NCCPA's certification and recertification exams can be organized in two dimensions:
Organ systems and the diseases, disorders and medical assessments physician assistants encounter within those systems; and
The knowledge and skills physician assistants should exhibit when confronted with those diseases, disorders and assessments.
PAs preparing for NCCPA's initial and recertifying exams have often asked the NCCPA about how the exam items are developed and should be answered. To help address that request, NCCPA has taken items removed from the item pool and created a tool for PAs. In the PDF document below, PAs can review sample NCCPA items and critiques written by NCCPA test committee members.
Another tool to help you prepare for the NCCPA certifying and recertifying exams are the NCCPA practice exams FLASCHCARDS.
