A good study plan removes the hardest part of preparing: deciding what to do each time you sit down. Here’s an adaptable framework built around the PANRE Review Course that you can stretch or compress to fit your timeline. The principle is steady, content-area-by-content-area progress with periodic full-length checkpoints.
Weeks 1–2 — baseline. Take one of the 5 mock exams cold. Don’t study for it; you want an honest picture of where you stand. Score it by content area and note the weakest three or four — that’s your priority list.
Weeks 3–10 — systematic review. Work through the question bank one content area per week, starting with your weak spots. Do the questions, but spend the real time on the explanations — especially for misses. This is also where the 100 hours of AAPA Category 1 CME accrue, so your prep is logging credit as you go.
Weeks 11–12 — second mock and targeted repair. Take mock exam two under timed conditions. Compare to your baseline; the gains show what’s working. Re-drill any area that’s still soft.
Final week — consolidation. Take the third mock for pacing and confidence, do a light review of high-yield areas, and then ease off. Cramming the night before hurts more than it helps.
Adjust the pace to your window — 30 months of access means you can run a longer, gentler version or a focused sprint. The structure holds either way: baseline, systematic review, checkpoint, consolidate. It’s $499.99 for 30 months, with the optional $100–$1,500 gift-card add-on.
