He'd tried everything, and no matter what he did, he could not get his scores high enough. He'd scored 289, 300, and 331. He was getting closer but running out of patience and confidence that he'd ever get there.
His two teenage kids and wife were waiting for him to pass the PANCE so that they could move on with their lives. With the weight of the world on his shoulders, each attempt became excruciating.
Dan joined 33 Days to Pass the PANCE and did everything that the program asked of him and then some. He went into his 4th attempt feeling better than he had in months and walked out with a 422!!! Just like that, he changed his life forever.
It takes work , but I can show you how to reach your potential and pass the PANCE.
Here's the bottom line. You are significantly underrated. Your scores aren't where you want them. You don't sleep enough, and you definitely don't spend enough time with your friends and family. I know that you can learn more, retain more and score higher on your exams. I also know that you can do it faster than you are now.
The guy digging a ditch says, "Well, I'm digging as fast as I can." That is until he's introduced to the backhoe,
and he gets a HUGE upgrade. He's working less and getting MORE work done.
I want to play a part in unlocking your potential. I've seen it happen to hundreds of students now, and I'm willing to bet you can achieve more too. But... there are no shortcuts. I can show you how to reach your potential, but you've got to be willing to do the work.
The 33 Days program will show you how to cut down your study time, retain more of what you've learned, develop multiple test-taking strategies for the variety of questions you'll see, and acquire methods for controlling your mind during high-pressure situations, including strategies for managing intrusive thoughts, regulating emotions, and maintaining focus under stress.
Once you've mastered these skills and strategies like Dan and hundreds of others have done, you'll be wondering why no one ever taught you this before.
This is NOT a content cram course. I've seen to many people do course after course and not see there scores move at all to offer that. Instead the 33 Days Program is a comprehensive approach to learning the skills and techniques it takes to pass high stakes exams.
In 2022 when I saw scores plummeting I knew I had to do something to help, but not the same old thing that wasn't working. People were asking for one-on-one training, but I knew that wasn't a good idea. First of all the cost would be NUTS.
I remember back when I taught high school chemistry over twenty years ago, I was charging $80/hour for goodness sake. As I was thinking it over, a good friend of mine mentioned he'd just signed his kid up for an SAT prep tutor at $110 an hour for a minimum of 12 sessions
.
That's $1,320!
I couldn't see charging anyone that much.
So I came up with something SO MUCH BETTER and much more affordable. A hybrid program where I could teach all of the skills necessary to pass the PANCE, work with people where they need help, and do it as a group to build energy and share even more ideas and the results have been better than I ever could have imagined. I'm seeing the scores of students who've reached their potential and it's so much fun!
I affectionately refer to this program as flexible but rigid. What I mean is that I provide you with a set of daily activities and objectives, and then you are free to fit those into your schedule however works best for you. like I said the program is a hybrid. So the daily lessons and the daily work are all asynchronous, but the group and I are there for you whenever you like. We also have regular group discussions and training that you are encouraged to attend, but if you can't make it, everything is recorded and posted for you to review whenever you like. It's the perfect balance of fitting having full support, but being able to adjust your schedule however you like.
Here is the backbone of the program although there's quit a bit more.
33 Days of Expert Lessons: Get ready for a master's level course dedicated solely to passing high stakes exams and the PANCE in particular. I've spent years honing my strategies and methods, and I'll share them with you over the full month. This is not your average "test-taking tips" seminar. It's an advanced program designed to equip you with the tools you need for success.
The Ultimate Study Schedule: You'll receive a comprehensive Content Calendar that tells you exactly what to study and when. I've designed this calendar to ensure that you stay on track throughout the program. Whether you're taking your exam at the end of the 33 days, months from now or working on EORS, I'll guide you on how to modify the schedule to fit your needs. Once it's set up your good to go. Even more important is that the calendar keeps you moving forward, and doesn't let you waste days floundering.
Diabolical Accountability: I've incorporated a powerful accountability system. Trust me, once you experience it, you'll be motivated to stick to it. It's a game-changer in keeping you committed and focused.
Building Confidence and Self-Trust: The PANCE is a mentally demanding exam that can challenge even the strongest individuals. I'll guide you through powerful techniques to bolster your confidence and combat intrusive thoughts. This is why the program spans 33 days, as it takes time to develop these crucial skills. You can't achieve this in just five days; it requires a comprehensive approach.
Vibrant Group Dynamic: Join a vibrant community of like-minded individuals working towards the same goal. Our private group is filled with incredible energy and support. Even if you prefer to observe, reading everyone's stories and progress reports will inspire and motivate you. It's also an excellent platform for sharing resources, tips, and ideas.
Group Coaching Calls: You'll have the opportunity to participate in four group coaching calls . These sessions offer valuable guidance and support throughout the program. It's not a solitary journey; the entire group, along with my expertise, is there to assist you. Ask questions, gain insights, and stay connected.
Live Question Walkthroughs: An exciting experience as we tackle real questions together. Students randomly select questions, and we demonstrate my system live. You'll witness firsthand how to apply my techniques to various types of test questions to increase the odds of getting to the right answer, regardless of whether you're familiar with the content or not. It's an invaluable learning opportunity.
I have never been so excited to email anyone in my life--
I PASSED THE PANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I took your 33 Days course in February and it was a GAME CHANGER.
The confidence, problem solving, and discipline that I unearthed during that time is truly incredible. Even on the morning of the exam, I adapted to my environment: It was awesome! I entered the exam feeling focused, prepared, and productive.
I knew that this time would be different. I not only had put in the work, I kept showing up for myself. That's something I probably have not done in a long time (before kids most likely). Thank you for helping me to bring out the best version of me! I am honored to be called your colleague.
I still can't believe that this chapter of my life is finally closed, but I am SO excited to move forward and turn the damn page
Again, a million thanks, Brian. Finally my family and I can move forward, and I can begin my career as a 1LT as an Army PA-C.
If I could put into words how deeply I appreciate you and your finesse of coaching, I certainly would. But, I've probably gone on long enough. lol :) So, one last time-- thank you.
Thanks for everything!
Lauren Repak, PA-C
I've had a lot of students come through the program who were looking to improve on medicine exams and EORS. You see, the skills I teach are transferable to any exam. Just like Dustin
I joined this course because I am finishing school here next week and needed to ensure that I passed my last EOR exam, cumulative exam, etc. The big one was my final EOR (Internal med) because if I didn't pass it, my school was going to kick me out, no questions asked. Had to pass. Definitely the biggest high stake exam I've taken so far. And today I took the damn thing (boy I was so calm during it, thanks to [here he refers to a particular lesson in the program] and I absolutely destroyed that exam and passed with flying colors.
At this point, the rest will be a freaking cakewalk compared to the pressure of being kicked out. Thanks, Brian, this program has worked, and will continue to work until even after I pass my PANCE.
Take it from me, you all can do it. The work you put in here will come out on the other side.
From the brink of being thrown out of his program Dustin wound up scoring a 415 on his PANCE.
All cohorts begin on the first of the month and run for 33 days. There is a little prework, so registration shuts down before the 1st to make sure everyone is ready to go.
"There are so many places to pick up easy points and even more places to lose easy points. Blueprint Core Medical Content is the most critical piece of the puzzle, but it isn't the only piece. Most students are hemorrhaging points, and they don't even know it.
I want you to know your content knowledge, but I want you to have so many more tools available to you."
Brian Wallace, PA-C
NO. Knowing medical content is necessary to pass the PANCE, but it may not be sufficient. I believe that most PA schools do an amazing job teaching medical content, and there are plenty of resources out there for people looking for MORE MEDICAL CONTENT. This program incorporates YOU spending the bulk of your time studying and practicing, but we do NOT provide medical lectures for you. Most students have more than enough medical resources, and if you don't, you have access to the 100% free Physician Assistant Exam Review Podcast, where I teach the ENTIRE BLUEPRINT.
Once you begin, you will receive one lesson each day of the program. These lessons cover skills, tools, and philosophies that have been demonstrated time and time again to dramatically improve scores. The first half of the program is geared toward controlling your mind and ensuring peak performance as well as advanced learning stratagies. Then we move into cognitive test-taking techqiues to maximze the score you can get with the konwldege that you have. You'll discover which type of test taker you are and how to maximize your techniques to squeeze every point out of your exams.
You'll learn to break down PANCE-type questions, including the three different kinds of questions, what to do when you really don't know anything, what to do when you get down to two good answers, and a whole lot more..
One thing I had in mind when I designed this program is that I want to help facilitate your work without being in your way. In order to pass this exam, YOU HAVE TO STUDY. Plain and simple. Until we figure out a way to download the material into your brain, you're going to have to do the work. I want you to have plenty of time to do the work. The daily lessons range from 8-50 minutes, with an average of around 15 minutes. I work very hard to keep them short and powerful. No fluff to take you away from what you're doing. In addition to the daily lessons, there are a few things I am going to ask you to do every single day of the program. The things are hand-chosen activities designed to improve your confidence and your ability to think. These daily activities will take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on how you choose them. All in all, your time commitment to the program is between 30 and 90 minutes per day. The rest of the day is yours to study or whatever else you need to get done.
No. There are so many people in different situations. I tried very hard to make this program asynchronous for those with crazy schedules but also have a powerful group component for those who could and wanted to take advantage of it. The daily lessons are loaded up for you each morning at 6 AM so that you can use them to start the day, or if you prefer, you can go through them later in the or at night.
We will do four live group coaching calls to go through any problems people are having, clarify anything that we're learning and share ideas of best resources and how to implement everything we're covering. We'll also do LIVE question walkthroughs, where after learning our system for answering test questions, we'll pull up random test questions and go through them together. You will get more out of those calls if you attend them live, but you can submit questions before the calls, and all coaching sessions will be recorded and made available to you to review whenever you like.
The program officially begins on the first of the month, but in order to hit the ground running on the first, there is a little prework to go through. For example, you'll want to familiarize yourself with the program and choose your resources (I will walk you through how to do that). You'll also want to introduce yourself to the group.
We use Social Lair as the hub of activity inside the 33 Days program. Think Facebook private group without all the distractions. Aside from the daily lessons, this is where the action is. This is where I post all of the information about the course, but even more, this is where you can come and ask questions and share ideas with the entire cohort. One thing people LOVE about this program is the ability to talk with people who are in their position. People who know what they're going through. And I'm always amazed by the new and fantastic answers to questions I find inside the group. The last two cohorts have even set up their own outside study groups once they've gotten to know each other.
We set up the content calendar for the group to follow. We break down the Blue Print and assign specific topics to specific days, but we largely leave it up to you as to how you'd like to cover that content. We have a lot of suggestions, but one of our goals is to keep everything as flexible as possible. That means you can most likely use the resources you already have and don't have to buy anything new. The calendar is great because it helps push you along and keeps everyone together. Everyone working on the same systems makes it so that people can share ideas and resources that are relevant to the entire group.
This program is what I've affectionately termed "rigidly flexible." I designed it to have a few nonnegotiables that must be completed every single day of the program, but outside of that, the program is adjustable to your situation by design. We have students working on EORS. We have students about to graduate. We have people working full-time. We have people who are focusing 100% of their time on passing the PANCE. We have people getting ready for the PANRE. All we ask is that you make a daily commitment to the program. Complete the daily lesson and daily activities that we ask of you every day. It doesn't matter when you get them done, only that you commit to getting them done every day. After that, you have ultimate flexibility in how you handle the rest of the program. For example, I recommend that 95% of members stick to our content calendar, but if you're a student out on rotations moving toward an EOR, our content calendar doesn't make sense for you. You'll complete everything else, but you'll create your own calendar (we'll help).
Hello, I just wanted to thank you so much!! I just got my results today and I could not be happier! I scored a 358! Up from my previous 307. I am so glad I found you through Lauren! I truly know that your course made a huge difference for me! I remember going through the test and I smiled a few times. I haven't smiled during an exam since before PA school, let alone multiple times during the biggest exam of my life!!
I know you told us, as did many alumni from the program, that we would feel a difference, but I'll be honest, I was a bit skeptical. Even while taking the exam and actively feeling differently than the previous times I took the exam. This skepticism is what kept me from initially emailing you after my exam to tell you the difference that I had felt but everything you said is true! I felt so much better during this exam even though there was still a good amount of "i don't knows" and "i'm not sures". I am still in a bit of disbelief right now but I will without question recommend you to anyone I know and to my advisor at my PA program. This is a fantastic program for everyone, but especially for those in similar situations as I was. I felt so alone and just at a loss until I found this program. Thank you again for all that you do! If there is anything I can do, please let me know! 🙂.
I am so thrilled to tell you that I passed my exam on the 4th attempt and I know I owe a lot of my success to you and the 33 day program. The mindset you helped me achieve was the game changer and I improved my score by 120 points. With 3 previous unsuccessful attempts you have no idea how defeated and crushed I was by this exam. Going back each time made my anxiety worse and worse, but you gave me the tools to overcome that. I am just as excited to tell you about my success as I am to tell my family 😂 Thank you so much for your time and all of the work you put into launching the program. I believe people will be thanking you for years to come if you continue with it. Thank you again Brian!!
Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it!!
Last week I had some interviews, kids school starting, and my reply got lost in the wash. I really apologize. I’m definitely game to join the live calls.
Also I have seen that you have done a few interviews with students about their story and how 33 days impacted them. Would be happy to do that with you as well if you need more content or want another story/testimony to add. There are so many things that happened/what I did/how I approached this process that I would have done differently if 33 days was in my life earlier.
Happy to share scores.
1st: 289, 2nd: 300, 3rd: 331, 4th: 422!!!
I just wanted to reach out to let you know that I passed my PANCE. I wanted to thank you for all of your help. I really enjoyed the 33 days to pass the pance and believe it really helped improve my score. I was able to utilize the percent confidences and started exercising on my breaks to put myself at ease. It really helped because my score jumped over a hundred points! Thank you for everything!
This course was just what I needed and when I needed it. It forced me to study more and helped me to be more confident in myself.
Even though I was 6 months out from taking the PANCE when I took the course it was worth every penny. I saw a boost in my scores for EOR exams and felt more confident in answering the questions. EVEN WHEN I DIDN'T KNOW!
Hi Brian,
I am SOOOO happy to tell you that I passed on my fourth attempt!
I want to thank you so much for all of your help through the 33 Day program. I feel I have been prepared academically for the exam but not mentally... which is half of the ballgame as you know and preach. I truly think that I was able to approach the exam from a different perspective and accomplish "taking the test." I felt calm during the exam and during my breaks, which previously were moments of stress, desperation, and thoughts of unsure or incorrect answers. I was confident in knowing I was in control of the exam, and it was not controlling me.
My last two attempt scores were 342 and 339. I passed with a 412!
I still can't believe it! All of my hard work has FINALLY paid off!
Thank you, again!!!

Subject: I FREAKING DID IT!
I am ELATED to share I passed my PANCE and with flying colors! I went up 100 points! I don't know if you remember but this is my second time taking it. I signed up for 33 days to pass the pance the second I found out about that option and you have to know I am so so so thankful I did. Thank you for that incredible course. You really did change my mindset which was the key to my success.
Thank you thank you!
I PASSEDDDDDD! Thank you so much for the 33 Day course! It truly changed not only how I looked at the exam but at myself as well. This was my fourth attempt and probably the most calm I have felt about an exam ever.
I cannot put words together right now since I JUST got the news but maybe after I come down a little from this high, I may be able to piece together a rhyme and reason to your methods; and if I can't, that's okay cause all I know is that it works!!
I am happy to announce I received my PANCE results today, and I PASSED!! I am so glad I found your 33 Days to pass the PANCE Program. I not only learned valuable test- taking strategies but was able to take the confidence in myself and amplify it to the max when I needed it most!
Going from a 309 to a 394 is such a rewarding feeling! I have already raved to my PA- school's faculty about you and really hope you are able to continue making such an impact on students like myself. I cannot thank you enough!
I cannot express how much gratitude I have to have been a part of the September cohort and learn all the tips and tricks you have given us. I’m so so so happy to tell you I passed on my second attempt! I jumped 75 points from 327 to 402! As much as I dreaded doing the dailies I cannot be more thankful that I did them. Thank you a million times for everything, this program is really a game changer! God bless you and your family!
Hi Brian,
Well...here it is...the email that I was hoping I would be sending to you! I took the exam last week and.....passed the PANCE!
When I initially reached out to you in July after getting the news I had failed - I was really in a tough place. As a single mom with three kids - getting into and through PA school had felt like a momentous feat and since I had done well in school...it never dawned on me that I might not pass the PANCE until it happened! I was embarrassed, lost, overwhelmed, financially stressed and pretty much down in the dumps and unsure what to do next! As I started to gather some strength to move forward, I remembered you mentioning something about the 33 days course in your podcast. Funny enough, at the time - I was in my last rotation and while listening completely skipped the podcast forward to get to the content part...."I don't need that!"
As you know...your program is different from anything out there. During the 33 days - I learned so much not just about how to take that exam but about myself! I literally followed your instructions to the letter. "Brian said we should...." was definitely how I moved through the months of September and October! I am a former collegiate soccer player so I knew how to follow instructions and there was a lot about the 33 course that was just like training for soccer season! I drank tons of water, took walks, worked out every day, stopped drinking alcohol, made flash cards, listened to the Final Step Audio over and over and over while driving my son to and from hockey, I took 2 practice exams and made it through the ENTIRE PANCE blueprint! Most importantly, the day before the exam....I went to play pickleball, folded laundry, took a bath, wrote out my confidence card, got my game day playlist in order and got a great night of sleep! I brought gatorade and almonds and apples to the exam. I took time during the tutorial to write out the ABCDE on my white board. I closed my eyes and meditated at the end of sections when I had more time. I felt confident and calm and at peace! Ultimately, when I walked out I was not sure how I had done but decided...I knew I had gotten closer and if I did not pass I was going to email you and sign up for the November cohort (not crawl under a rock as I had done the last time!)
My score at the end of June was a 301.
My score last Wednesday was a 434!
133 points?!
I want to thank you so much for everything.
Most importantly, thank you for caring about the underdogs and helping me to find confidence in myself when it was most definitely lost. It really taught me the importance of seeing "forgotten" people....who are really all around us. Thank you for not writing us off and seeing our past work and potential value as future PA's. Without your work and commitment - I think many people who got so close...would just not make it to the other side. As much as I can't believe I am saying it...I am glad that I failed because the experience was a journey and I learned so much along the way. I also think I will be a better PA for the 4 months I spent with this material and for meeting and learning from you!
I wanted to let you know that I PASSED MY PANCE!!!! I am very thankful for your work- the podcasts, the emails, the 33 Day program, the final step- all of it!! I used the PAER podcasts during didactic occasionally and a lot during my clinical year to solidify information and for repetition. I joined the June 33 Days to Pass The PANCE cohort and I’m SO happy I did. I joined the cohort in the midsts of my clinical year because I knew the course would not be offered again before I took my PANCE (I wouldn’t graduate until August and take my PANCE until September) but I was nervous about not being able to dedicate the time I wanted to it- regardless, I joined anyway. During the 33 Days to Pass The PANCE I did not study as much as I would have liked and I implemented the dailys as best I could but did not out 100% into it. When it came time for me to study for my PANCE I followed your strategy to a T for only 3 weeks and, although I passed, I wish I had followed it for the entire 33 days! All of your strategies are wonderful but I'd like to share the two that really made a huge difference for me- the visualizations and The Final Step. I seriously doubted the visualizations but it was the visualizations, more than anything, that got me through. I had no idea how to "visualize" but the more I practiced the better I got. I truly believe mastering my thoughts during that exam helped me pass on my first try.
The Final Step was exactly what I needed after going over material and the perfect way to solidify the information. I found myself making my own "final step" questions while studying and adding them to the book. I had accommodations and took the exam over two consecutive days, here was my experience- The first day was a true struggle, I was out of sorts and unfocused. I left in tears feeling like I had failed. That evening I spent time visualizing, running outside, eating a good meal, resting and getting a good night's sleep. The second day I came back
strong and ready to take on the challenge. There was no longer any unfamiliar territory and I was focused. I left the exam smiling,
skipping to my car and feeling like I had passed. The contrast between the two days was uncanny. I'd be curious what my score was the first day vs the second day. I would not have been able to gather myself and feel great on the second day without the help of the 33 Day program. I highly highly recommend it!!!!
I am SO very thankful for you, Brian! Keep sharing your positivity,
your work and your mindset!! Thank you!!!
Hi Brian!!
I am so happy to tell you that I passed the PANCE on my second attempt!!! My first try was in June and the score was a 294, today I jumped 114 points to 408 this time around.
Thank you so very much for inventing this course and your MINDSET.
Like I said before, you have given me a new perspective on this exam and everything I associate it with now. Your course has influenced me to be a better person and a better PA-C;)
Seriously, I cannot thank you enough Brian!! If you need anything at all, please let me know. I hope you, your wife and boys are doing well & Have a happy halloween!!!
Thank you for everything. You and your course provided tools that really helped me change my attitude and shift my actions to overall increase self-confidence and develop a game plan that worked for me.
In the end, I increased my score from 298 to 405…which is more than 100 points! I’ll never forget your help and this experience.
Wanted to let you know that I passed my PANCE! Made a 391, not the best but it was a pass! Thank you so much for the program that you have made and helping me to learn how to test-take and really believe in myself.
Good morning,
I just thought I would reach out to give you an update. I took my senior PACKRAT on Friday and scored a 163. My Jr PACKRAT score was a 116. Being above national average in all but two categories. All I have done during my clinical year is follow the 33 days to pass the PANCE schedule.
I was part of the second cohort of 33 days to pass the pance course. I wanted to reach out and thank you for everything!
To start, I really struggled my first year of PA school, so much so that I had to take an extra year. I had struggled so much with the actual exams and felt very alone. I had testing anxiety due to performing poorly on previous exams and felt so defeated. I had no idea how to approach a question, especially one that I didn’t know the answer to.
I discovered your podcasts my second year, and I would listen to them on my drives to class and eventually on my way to clinical; they helped immensely with material. I also had signed up for your newsletters. The more repetition I had with a certain topic, the easier it seemed to be.
Fast forward to clinical year and my program sent out an email offering a four day PANCE review course. This was around the time you were beginning the first cohort of 33 days. I had really liked the idea of 33 days over the 4 day review course, especially since you were going to go over how to take the actual exam. So I signed up for the second cohort and it was one of the best decisions I made. I was comforted that most people in the cohort had once felt alone and had struggled similarly; I didnt feel alone taking the course. Honestly, I was shocked others had the same struggles as it’s not really talked about. I took the course during my ER rotation so it was a bit early before my pance so I repeated it again after. I took my pance the earliest date I could (august 24th), and I'm happy to say I’ve passed and have accepted an emergency medicine position.
The major difference is that through this course I’ve gained confidence and the tools to approach questions I had no idea how to answer previously. A few weeks before taking my pance, I had an advisor tell me that I should consider another review course mainly because he hadn’t known anything about 33 days. I knew that I was prepared for the PANCE due to all the steps I had taken previously. He was concerned because it was a new program, there wasn’t much data, and it wasn’t a certain money back guarantee if you didn’t pass. I know certain methods work for certain people but 33 days was exactly what I needed to be the best I could be.
I know this email is long and a bit rambling, but I want you to know how much you’ve helped in my journey and wanted to say thank you for creating an amazing program!
Hi Brian,
I want to start with this: Thank you. I passed the PANCE! I went from a 287 in October to a 415 in January. I took it 3 months after, as soon as I could. I improved by 128 points.
I'm sorry this is such a long email (& you don't have to read it all haha). I went through 2 cohorts with you (September & November 2022), so I felt I almost owed my story to you.
I wish I had replied to your above email sooner, but I think I wanted to wait until I received my new score before reaching out... didn't want to disappoint!
Your last email reply really resonated with me... I think if we sit back & realize all the difficulties that we endure.. they are immense. And I think being gentle with ourselves is really important. I was in a very dark place after failing the PANCE... I was genuinely depressed & didn't want to get out of bed some days. I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I kept second-guessing if the reason I failed was really because of losing our foster kitten the day before the exam. But in reflection, I was crying the entire day before I took the exam, becausing having a kitten die unexpectedly in your arms is not great. I woke up tired & puffy-eyed the day of the exam. You can't change your exam time/day less than 24 hours before the exam, so I was out of luck & had to just take it. I did my best, but I could feel how difficult it was for me to read through questions & how much I was straining to get through each section without zoning out.
However, this experience taught me that I can be resilient. That I faced my worst fear as a PA: failing this exam a second time. I was so terrified of failing again. I kept imagining it. No one wants to fail again. You want to get off the hamster wheel of studying non-stop. You want to start your career. It is just a really crappy place to be.
I think emphasizing my mental health during those 3 months was the most important thing I did. I rejoined a cohort with you in November, so I studied that month, but I was struggling. And I honestly am just so thankful that I was able to join that group last minute after I found out I failed at the end of October, because I needed other people to relate to. I needed the motivation to get up every morning & study for at least an hour every day (sometimes, that's all I could do). And I walked for 30 minutes & I did my yoga and meditation & drank my water. I also let myself be sad. PA school is so hard... there's no time to allow yourself to be sad and process difficult things that have happened. So it was like failing this exam brought all of these difficult things bubbling to the surface. We all have braved so many storms while we're so busy with PA school or working as a PA.
After I took the PANCE the second time, as soon as I got into my car, I just started sobbing uncontrollably. I was so relieved it was done, but it's a terrifying feeling to know that you can't change anything now... and you get to wait a week for the results. And the only other experience I had with taking the exam & getting my results was seeing "failed". I didn't feel completely confident that I had passed the second time (but who does? haha). I was shaking when I opened up the exam results this second time. And then I cried again, but this time, true tears of relief, because I had passed. It's been 5 days since getting the results, and I'm still in disbelief. I'm just so happy.
So I want to say thank you for emphasizing self-care in your program. I think that was the most important thing for me. Not that I'm not smart enough or that I don't know enough information, but that I can make easy changes to how I study (making simple notes & simple flashcards that are easy to remember). Study smarter, not harder. Take care of yourself along the way. Those were my take-aways & it got me through.
*this was soooo long, but I had a lot to say obviously haha*
Thank you, thank you,
My score went from a 304 to a 360, and I’m so proud of that since my actual test day did not go as planned and I forced myself to push through anyways using your methods.
I would absolutely be willing to come on a call and talk about the program. It really changed everything for me and I would recommend it to anyone!
And yep, go ahead and use the email as a testimonial!
Thank you again and let me know when you’d need me for a call!
So excited to share that I passed, and that my score increased by 70 points! There is no doubt in my mind that test anxiety was the reason I could not pass the last two times. You helped me immensely! The 33 days to pass plus all of your podcasts are the reason for my score improvement.
Thanks to you, I can now work as a PA and help others.
Please count on me if you ever need testimony in how your tips/lessons help us pass the boards. You dedicate your time so much to our community of students and professionals, this is the least I can give back to you.
I got my results this morning and I passed!! I got a 404. I had gotten a 326 on my first try and a 269 on my second (don’t know what happened on that one) so it was a great improvement. I really enjoyed this program and I’m glad my friends Lynn and Jessica, who took this course before told me about this class, and I will recommend it to anyone and everyone I can. I felt incredibly prepared for the exam and actually felt confident when taking the exam.
The program you created is amazing and I wanted to thank you for doing what you do with it. You can also let me know if you need somebody to speak to a new cohort, write a testimonial or help out in another way. Thank you!
I’m writing this on my flight home after leaving the state to take my PANCE for the third time. A classmate of mine recommended your program to me and I signed up. I improved by 53 points. I passed! Thank you so much for the time that you put into this program to help students like me. The biggest thing for me was being surrounded by peers in a similar situation that I could also study with. I didn’t have that previously.
You’ve quite literally changed my life and helped me gain my self-confidence back through what I learned over the course of 33 days. I will always remember to choose again. I wish you much health and success. Thank you.
I've put about everything I can into this program, but here are a few more things you'll get when you join.
The second I got home from my PANRE, I hit the record button. I spilled the beans on every little trick I came up with during the exam to help me, and you pick up those extra points.
Interviews with four PA-Cs after they'd taken their exams. You don't just hear from me. You hear from people who just took their tests! How did they feel? How did they prepare, and what would they tell someone getting ready for the PANCE?
I also include interviews with previous members of the 33 Days cohort to help you see where you're going and how everything comes together from the student's perspective. I've had a huge percentage of my students offer to do this for you and for me because they're thrilled with their results and want the same for you.
This book is the culmination of over 10 years of work. It's the entire PANCE Blueprint distilled down to the barest of essentials. It's still over 250 pages, but it's as tight as I can get it.
Only a handful of people have even seen this book, and it's yours when you sign up. The book is currently only available as a ROUGH DRAFT VERSION in a digital format through the PAER app and only to 33 Days members.
I can't be your personal trainer, and you don't get my cell phone number but ...
This program is different from anything else out there. That's what makes it so successful, but it's also what makes it hard to commit to. I get it.
So, I'm going to give you the first FIFTEEN days of the program to decide. Not fifteen days from purchase. I'm giving you until the end of the 15th day of the program (normally, that's the 15th of the month).
Come on in. Let's make sure you're thrilled with the process. If you decide it isn't for you, You get your entire investment back. No worries, and best of luck.
For obvious reasons, I can't guarantee results, but I can guarantee that you will love the program.
