There’s no better way to prepare for the NCCPA examinations than with the only review book developed and endorsed by the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA) and the Association of Physician Assistant Programs (APAP). An ideal study tool and clinical reference, this comprehensive resource features review material, test questions, and detailed explanations covering the critical content areas on the certification (PANCE) and recertification (PANRE and Pathway II) examinations. This new edition includes a 300 question pre-test and 300 question post-test CD-ROM that simulate the NCCPA Exams and incorporate the GRADRAT self-assessment exam—the premier tool developed by experienced faculty and the APAP to prepare clinicians for recertification. Also new to this edition: an infectious disease chapter and expanded coverage of pediatrics, geriatrics, and surgery.

4.0 out of 5 stars Preparing for the PANRE, October 30, 2005

Just took the PANRE yesterday. This study guide is helpful in broad strokes. Much better than the Appleton & Lange books. However, study questions, for the most part, aren't in depth enough. My PANRE questions were at a much "deeper" level than those in this book. This book and CD are a good place to start. I supplemented with Current Internal Med.

The second edition of the Comprehensive Review is great! The outline is more complete and inclusive. The depth of facts is just enough for review for PA boards. The two exams included are a great tool to help assess your preparedness for the boards! I highly recommend this book.
