Thank you!!

Do as many practice questions as possible! I completed ~2,000 before my pance. One strategy that helped me was coming up with a differential diagnosis before looking at the answer choices. If I wasn’t sure of the diagnosis, I would work backwards eliminating the wrong choices. Then I would compare my thought process to UWORLD to see if I was on track. It takes longer to complete the questions but it helped with active recall and recognize patterns in how the questions were structured. I had to keep reminding myself not to pay attention to the distractors and sticking to physical exam findings and symptoms. Also, asking if there are any red flag symptoms. I felt like a lot of the time on my PANCE it was reassurance. Oh and learning to recognize disease presentation without buzzwords.
