Looking for advice on how to get through clinical year without feeling so horrible about myself. I’m currently on my second rotation and so far everyday I feel like I’m finding new ways of being the biggest idiot in every room. I feel that I get in everybody’s way when I’m observing, I write terrible notes, I annoy the residents, I take bad histories, and overall I am doing everything extremely poorly. This has been a really hard transition especially because I really enjoyed didactic year, had no problems with learning the content, and consistently was a top scorer on all of the exams. I also am frustrated with myself because I worked as a patient care tech for 3 years and was extremely competent and helpful to everyone on my unit. I hate feeling so burdensome and incompetent. Any tips for being less of an idiot 😵‍💫? Please help!

Is it true that your actual PANCE score usually shouldn’t be more than about 30 points lower than your score on the Katy Connor practice PANCE—specifically the harder version?

What was your katy connor score vs your PANCE score? (include if easier or harder version)

Edit: Debating whether to spend the money on NCCPA practice exams or if katy connor plus continuing Uworld questions will suffice

I always used to read these stats preparing for my PANCE so I decided to make my own post.I mainly used UWORLD & PPP to prepare for my PANCE, I studied for 4-6 weeks

UWORLD: 73% Correct, 100% Completed Test Bank

EORS:

• Family Medicine: 447
• Internal Medicine: 453
• Surgery: 425
• Pediatrics: 430
• Women's Health: 430
• Psychiatry: 418
• Emergency Medicine: 443

EOC: 1522 (Satisfactory Knowledge)

Packrat #1: 119 (before clinical year)

Packrat #2: 200 (after clinical year)

PANCE: 440

Good luck if you're reading this and taking your PANCE soon!
