NCCPA Tutorials: Links to a Sample of the Actual Exam

Physician assistants are encouraged to take the sample online tutorials provided below prior to their exam day to become familiar with the computer functions. The tutorial provides an opportunity to practice:

  • Navigating through the examination
  • Answering questions
  • Changing answers
  • Marking questions for review
  • Accessing the table of laboratory values

To access the tutorials through the Pearson Vue website click here

Examination Application

Before scheduling an examination appointment, you must have already:

  1. Applied for your examination with the NCCPA;
  2. Paid an examination application fee to the NCCPA; and
  3. Received an exam acknowledgment from the NCCPA.

If you have any questions about your NCCPA certification or recertification processes, please visit the NCCPA website, email the NCCPA at [email protected], or call the NCCPA at 678-417-8100.

Scheduling

First-time test takers must create a Pearson VUE web account. When creating your account and scheduling your exam, you will need your NCCPA ID number from the NCCPA exam acknowledgment sent to you upon completion of the application process.

Appointments may be made up to one business day in advance. If you provide Pearson VUE with any new contact information during the exam application process, this will not update the NCCPA’s records. Update your contact information with the NCCPA by signing in to your personal certification record. Schedule Online

Exam Blocks

Exams are administered in multiple blocks of test questions. You may answer the questions within a block in any order, and you may review and change responses within a block of questions during the time allotted for that section. However, after you exit a block of test questions, or after time expires for that block, you won't be allowed to review its questions or change your answers.

Exam Length

The five-hour PANCE exam includes 300 multiple-choice questions administered in five blocks of 60 questions with 60 minutes to complete each block. There is a total of 45 minutes allotted for breaks between blocks and you will be responsible for managing your break time. You will have 15 minutes to complete the PANCE tutorial.

The four-hour PANRE exam includes 240 multiple-choice questions administered in four blocks of 60 questions with 60 minutes to complete each block. There is a total of 45 minutes allotted for breaks between blocks and you will be responsible for managing your break time. You will have 15 minutes to complete the PANRE tutorial.

The Six-Years-Six-Attempts Rule

Individuals who have never been certified and who graduated from an ARC-PA accredited physician assistant program will be eligible to take PANCE for up to six years after completing the requirements for graduation from that program.

During that six-year period, PANCE may be taken a total of six times. When either the six attempts or six years are exhausted, whichever occurs sooner, the individual loses eligibility to take PANCE. The only way to establish new eligibility is to complete an unabridged ARC-PA accredited physician assistant educational program again.
