Florida Medical Student Research Journal (FMSRJ).Certificate in Molecular & Biomedical Sciences.Master in Physicians Assistants Studies (MPAS).You are better off pushing the PANCE back a few weeks and passing instead of failing it and getting stuck for 3 months and hundreds of dollars. Before you graduate, they are responsible for remediating you.

Think of it this way - once you graduate, you are no longer the program's problem and they need not do a thing to help you.

If you have a bad PACKRAT score you need to do something about it or you will not pass the PANCE. You are taking the PACKRAT "against" the same people you are taking the PANCE against. On the other hand, your program hopefully has your best interests at heart. At the same time, this is also not the way that the PAEA intended the PACKRAT to be used. If they are making this up out of thin air, well, they just can't do that. A policy with such serious consequences would need to be in writing somewhere, probably in your student manual.
#Paea packrat free
Programs are pretty free to make any policies they want as long as they enforce them fairly. My school will not allow us to graduate if we do not "pass" the packrat exam as well. Hope I gave a better explanation this time. what I'm asking is if this is legal to do? We will have already graduated and just in a holding pattern to take our PANCE after graduation. Now, because of this year's high PACKRAT average, our school has informed us that until we get within 6 points of 167, they will redact our release to take the PANCE. The PACKRAT was supposed to be an exit exam. What I'm saying is that we are 2 weeks away from graduation and most of us have our PANCE date already set. I think you may have misunderstood so I'll try to add more info! We have already taken the PACKRAT, next is the PANCE, we've been studying all along. As per googled information, a 111 on the packrat equates to a passing score of 350 on the PANCE. Why not just chill and do what they say: start studying before the PACRAT? This will all be over soon enough. Schools want you to pass if you don't they look bad.Īs a practical matter, if passing the PACRAT isn't in the documentation for completion, I suspect they might have to call you done whether you pass it or not and thus you would be able to take the PANCE. I suspect your program is trying to get you guys to study for the PANCE, which is something that some students fall down on in the rush of clinicals and EORs. Sounds like you're already fighting a war that hasn't started yet!
