Last night's workshop was so poweful I wanted to share it with you.

We cover the 6 aras where you can either lose or pick up points on your exam you can watch the replay here if you'd like that better.

Isabella failed her first PANCE attempt by 9 points after cruising through PA school, doing well on her EOC, and grinding through PANCE Prep Pearls and question banks.

On her second attempt, she walked into the Pearson center calm, focused, and prepared with a game plan. She didn't just pass. She jumped from a 341 to a 474.

In this conversation we walk through:

• Failing an EOR and then the PANCE, and what that does to your identity
• Why more content and more question banks weren't moving Isabella's score
• How she used the 33 Days to Pass the PANCE content calendar, dailies, and community
• Building a test‑day "game plan" (visualizations, breaks, confidence cues) so you don't spiral
• How the habits she built now carry into her first ortho PA job

If you're struggling with EORs, sitting on a borderline PANCE score, or trying to come back from a fail, this episode is for you.

Registration for the June 33 Days to Pass the PANCE cohort opens tomorrow. Get the details here: https://www.physicianassistantexamreview.com/33

Preconception and prenatal care feels like pure memorization:

• Folic acid doses
• Visit schedules
• Quad screen patterns
• RhoGAM timing
• A pile of week ranges that all blur together

In this episode, Brian strips it down to what actually shows up on your EORs and the PANCE, and how to connect the facts so they stick.

Inside the episode:

• How to think about prenatal care the way the boards test it, not the way the guidelines list it
• Preconception counseling that gets tested: when to give 400 to 800 mcg of folic acid and when to jump to 4 mg
• The medications and conditions that should set off alarm bells: epilepsy on valproate or carbamazepine, warfarin, isotretinoin, lithium, methotrexate, ACE inhibitors, tetracyclines, and how they get hidden inside a question stem
• Screening vs diagnostic: first-trimester screens, cell-free fetal DNA, CVS, amniocentesis, and what the exam is really asking
• Quad screen pattern fingerprints for Down syndrome, Trisomy 18, and open neural tube defects
• The timelines you have to know cold: prenatal visit schedule, the one-hour glucose challenge, GBS culture, and exactly when RhoGAM goes in

At the end, Brian breaks down "studying" the way he defines it inside 33 Days: not hours in the chair, but how many points you walk away with from the time you're already working. And how to build a simple system so high-yield facts like RhoGAM timing don't slip through the cracks.
