Every PANRE class session can be created with your specific needs in mind. During your first PANRE course session, your tutor can get a feel for your starting proficiency level in every subject on the test. They can use this information to create a plan for future PANRE courses that tackle the areas that are challenging you the most. The entire time, your tutor can keep track of the progress you are making, and make adjustments to the PANRE course lesson plans as needed. For instance, if you master the cardiovascular system more quickly than anticipated, the instructor can change the PANRE class to focus on the dermatologic system instead. This kind of teaching flexibility helps your tutor make the time spent studying as effective and efficient as possible.
The PANRE should be taken at the end of your sixth year of school and it can be taken for re-certification as well. You can register to take the exam online and it costs $350 to take. You can only take it once every 90 days, so you will want to do your best on your exam date so you can pass it the first time.
As you proceed through the customized PANRE prep course, you will be studying with the goal of earning high scores in all areas of the exam. Your tutor has knowledge of the contents of the exam, so they can help you hone in on the areas you need to work on. Additionally, PANRE tutors can help you develop test-taking tips and strategies, along with relaxation exercises you can use if you get anxious on test day. This can help you alleviate test anxiety, build time management skills, and improve your overall test-taking skills.
If you are ready to help yourself become a better test-taker while improving your understanding of the topics on the exam, contact Varsity Tutors now. We are ready to help you get signed up with expert help with a PANRE prep class today. You can schedule and attend sessions from the comfort of your home using our Live Learning Platform, so you don't have to worry about the anxiety of meeting face-to-face. No matter what aspect of the exam you need help with, we can help you reach for your goals. A skilled academic advisor is waiting to talk to you about your prep options.
