Raise PANCE Pass Rate Workshop

If your PA program experienced a recent drop in first-time test taker pass rates on the PANCE, this individualized workshop will show you how to raise the pass rates for the previous class year. This 1-1.5 day workshop provides a comprehensive overview about how to identify students at risk for underperforming on the PANCE.

• Describe how to identify students at risk based on predicted scores generated from program-specific summative examinations and PACKRAT

• Describe how to implement an advisory system for at-risk students and facilitate the development of study contracts

• Understand how to apply sound educational principles to reinforce effective study techniques

• Gain ability to effectively intervene for students extremely at risk of failing the PANCE near the end of the clinical year

• Be able to use external Test Banks and exams, such as the NCCPA practice exams, to determine students' readiness to take the PANCE

This one-day workshop will provide the tools for you to raise your students pass rate immediately. This workshop will include the following components:

• Reflection about PANCE performance

• Designing advanced assessment systems to predict PANCE performance

• Using student performance to determine student remediation

• Primer on student study skills

• Clinical year early intervention plan

• PA Program-specific PANCE retrospective data

• Case studies and applied practice

This on-site interactive workshop is conducted by Scott Massey, PhD, PA-C, a recognized expert who has extensively researched how formative and summative exams can be used to predict PANCE performance. Dr. Massey has spent more than 20 years developing intervention programs to identify students who need additional remediation.
