Recertification is a marathon, not a sprint. For many Physician Assistants, the PANRE (Physician Assistant National Recertification Exam) or the newer PANRE-LA (Longitudinal Assessment) represents a significant hurdle in professional maintenance. Whether you are a seasoned clinician or preparing for your first recertification cycle, the strategy remains the same: high-fidelity practice.
At CME Review Courses, we understand that your time and CME budget are valuable. That is why we have launched our latest resource: the PANRE/PANRE LA Review Exams with Gift Card Add On. This isn't just another question bank with a monthly subscription fee. It is a comprehensive, blueprint-matched simulation of the actual exam that you own forever.
Why High-Fidelity Practice Matters for the PANRE
Most question banks on the market use a 4-answer multiple-choice format. While this is helpful for general knowledge, it does not prepare you for the cognitive load of the actual NCCPA exams. The real PANRE utilizes a 5-answer multiple-choice format. That extra distractor changes the dynamics of elimination and clinical reasoning.
Our new PANRE Review Exams provide 720 questions across three distinct, full-length practice exams. Each exam contains 240 questions, mirroring the exact structure of the board exam you will sit for.
The Blueprint Advantage: No Filler, All Content
One of the biggest frustrations for PAs in review is "over-studying" topics that represent a tiny fraction of the exam. If you spend three days mastering rare dermatological conditions that only make up 4% of the blueprint, you are mismanaging your prep time.
Our exams are built strictly according to the NCCPA Content Blueprint. This means the distribution of questions across the 15 organ systems is mathematically precise:
- Cardiovascular System: 11% (26 questions per exam)
- Pulmonary System: 9% (22 questions per exam)
- Gastrointestinal System / Nutrition: 8% (19 questions per exam)
- Musculoskeletal System: 8% (19 questions per exam)
- …and so on, down to the 4% required for Dermatology and Genitourinary.
By practicing with these specific percentages, you develop a "rhythm" for the exam. You will know exactly how much focus the boards place on Cardiology versus Psychiatry, ensuring your study hours are spent where they yield the highest point return.
Maximize Your CME Budget with the "Clean" Receipt System
We know how the reimbursement process works. Most employers offer a fixed CME allowance, but using it effectively can be a headache. Our CME with Gift Card system is designed for maximum efficiency.
When you purchase the PANRE Review Exams, you can add an Amazon or Apple Gift Card ranging from $100 to $1500. This allows you to use your remaining CME funds to purchase additional educational tools, hardware, or resources to further your career.
The "Clean" Receipt System:
We provide a dual-receipt system. You will receive one receipt that reflects the total purchase including the gift card, and a second "clean" receipt that lists only the educational product. This makes the reimbursement process through your hospital or clinic administration straightforward and professional. No more leaving money on the table at the end of the fiscal year.
Ownership vs. Subscription
In an era where every medical resource requires a monthly login and a recurring fee, we decided to do things differently. When you buy this bundle, you receive the files in Google Slides and Microsoft Word formats.
- No platform login needed.
- No subscription expiration.
- Study offline or online.
- Highlight, annotate, and keep them for your next cycle.

Practice Like You Perform: Clinical Vignettes
To give you a taste of the caliber of questions in our 720-question bundle, let’s dive into a few clinical scenarios. These are formatted exactly like the questions you will find in our PANRE Review Exams.
Practice Question 1: Cardiology (11% of Blueprint)
Your patient is a 64-year-old male with a history of hypertension and tobacco use who presents to the emergency department with sudden onset, tearing chest pain that radiates to his back. His blood pressure in the right arm is 190/110 mmHg, and in the left arm, it is 155/95 mmHg. A chest X-ray reveals a widened mediastinum.
What is the most appropriate initial pharmacological intervention for this patient?
A. Intravenous Nitroprusside
B. Intravenous Labetalol
C. Intravenous Heparin bolus
D. Oral Amlodipine
E. Sublingual Nitroglycerin
Correct Answer: B. Intravenous Labetalol
In a patient with suspected Aortic Dissection, the primary goal is to reduce the shear stress on the aortic wall. This requires rapid reduction of both heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP). Intravenous Labetalol is a first-line agent because it provides both alpha- and beta-adrenergic blockade, lowering the heart rate and the blood pressure simultaneously. Nitroprusside (A) is a potent vasodilator, but it can cause reflex tachycardia, which increases shear stress; therefore, it should only be used after beta-blockade is established. Heparin (C) is contraindicated as it would worsen the hemorrhage within the aortic wall. Amlodipine (D) and Nitroglycerin (E) are not appropriate for the acute, hypertensive emergency management of a dissection.
Practice Question 2: Pulmonary System (9% of Blueprint)
Your patient is a 28-year-old female with a history of asthma who presents with increased shortness of breath and wheezing for the past 48 hours. She has been using her albuterol inhaler every 2 hours without significant relief. On physical exam, she is tachycardic (HR 115) and has a respiratory rate of 28. Diffuse expiratory wheezing is heard globally. Her SaO2 is 93% on room air.
Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in the management of this acute asthma exacerbation?
A. Start a 5-day course of oral Prednisone
B. Administer inhaled Ipratropium bromide with Albuterol
C. Order an emergent Chest X-ray
D. Prescribe a Long-Acting Beta-Agonist (LABA)
E. Discharge with a Peak Flow Meter for home monitoring
Correct Answer: B. Administer inhaled Ipratropium bromide with Albuterol
For an acute asthma exacerbation that is not responding to SABA (short-acting beta-agonist) alone, the addition of an anticholinergic like Ipratropium bromide (DuoNeb) is indicated in the acute setting to provide synergistic bronchodilation. Oral Prednisone (A) will be necessary, but it takes 4-6 hours to begin having a clinical effect and does not address the immediate airway obstruction as effectively as the combination nebulizer. Chest X-ray (C) is generally not required for uncomplicated asthma exacerbations unless pneumonia or pneumothorax is suspected. LABAs (D) are for maintenance therapy and have no role in acute rescue. The patient is currently too unstable for discharge (E).
Practice Question 3: Gastrointestinal System (8% of Blueprint)
Your patient is a 42-year-old female presenting with severe, steady epigastric pain that radiates to her back. The pain began acutely after a heavy meal. She reports nausea and multiple episodes of non-bloody emesis. On exam, she has marked epigastric tenderness but no rebound or guarding. Her serum lipase is 1,200 U/L (Reference: 0-160 U/L).
What is the most important initial step in the management of this patient’s condition?
A. Immediate surgical consultation for cholecystectomy
B. Aggressive intravenous fluid resuscitation
C. Administration of prophylactic Broad-spectrum antibiotics
D. Morphine for pain management
E. Initiation of total parenteral nutrition (TPN)
Correct Answer: B. Aggressive intravenous fluid resuscitation
The patient has Acute Pancreatitis, as evidenced by her clinical presentation and a lipase level more than three times the upper limit of normal. The cornerstone of early management is aggressive intravenous fluid resuscitation to maintain pancreatic perfusion and prevent necrosis. While pain management (D) is important, it is secondary to fluid resuscitation in terms of preventing complications like organ failure. Surgical consultation (A) is not the immediate priority unless there is evidence of infected necrosis or gallstone pancreatitis requiring ERCP. Prophylactic antibiotics (C) are not recommended for interstitial pancreatitis. TPN (E) is reserved for severe cases where oral or enteral feeding is not possible for an extended period.
