A lot is made of the fact that this was written with the cooperation of the AAPA and PAEA. Its a great selling tool, but this book does not give you the "details "to do well on the boards. I have been practicing as a P.A for 13 years I passed my PANCE in the top 5 % and my first PANRE in the top 1%. I just retook my 2nd PANRE and have not recieved my score yet but this book did not help it, I can tell you that. Fortunately, I didn't use this book soley for the test and that is my saving grace. The best thing about the book was the pre and post test, yet neither one simulated the PANRE well. The PANRE was much harder!! then the questions in this book.
To be fair both the PANCE and PANRE change from test to test so I could have just had a harder test this cycle, however when I think back on the two previous tests, I don't think this would have been a great book to use for either one of them. Why? The boards love most common ,least common symptom or sign type questions. They also like to test you about subtle differences between simularly presenting diseases. This - for the most part- dosen't give you that info. It lists the symptoms/signs randomly so you could know everything in it and still do poorly.
This was the first and last time I will use this book.

I found this very useful when reviewing for the PANRE. I used both the book questions and the CD for review, I found the CD the most useful tool as it gave me feedback on my answers immediately if I wanted, or I could switch to testing mode and make mini-tests customized to the subjects that I wanted to focus on. I found many of the items I reviewed were covered on the exam. I pasted the first time with no problems and I would buy this book again.
