It's normal to need to get used to standardized exams.The program takes pride in having a student-focused approach, preparing our graduates to be skilled and competent in the clinical field. If you didn't study for the Packrat using a question bank then a low score is completely expected because your didactic exams were probably not exactly like the Packrat. Crank it up a bit for the PANCE if you want. Go through the blueprint and do the Rosh boost exams for EORs. I chalk it up to getting a clear set of study resources set early and sticking to it as my PANCE studying format as well. My second Packrat ended up being 179 and my PANCE was 589 which are both well above the averages. I did watch some online med ed videos if I was really struggling and then added Uworld after I had used all of my Rosh questions closer to the PANCE. Many people have said to stick with one review book and one question bank and I would agree with that. I found it much simpler to just have the two main resources. My advice is to try not to use to many different resources as it can bog you down and you may get overwhelmed. I see you had listed those already along with others. I ended up just using PPP and rosh to study for EORs. That definitely improves with taking EORs. I was a pretty high performing student in didactic year but to be honest I was just not used to the Packrat question format and the length of the exam. I had the exact same preclinical score and I was upset too. I will also try to complete questions out of rosh and uWorld daily. My current plan for the EOR is to outline the blueprint using PA exam review book, smarty pance, osmosis and twist of lemons study guides. Does the PACKRAT score have any correlation to EORs and is there anything I can do to increase my strength on clinical intervention based questions? I was so happy to be done with didactic year but finishing with a crappy PACKRAT really didn't make me feel any better about my self confidence. Now I know this is a broad section but I'm now very nervous going into my first EOR (emergency medicine) in June. Anyway, I noticed that I lost a majority of my points and basically fell at the other end of the national percentile on "clinical intervention" based questions. I have been doing generally well during my didactic year and expected to be at least higher than my class average (religiously used anki, quizlet, etc). I was very taken back at my overall grade.
