I am scheduled to take my PANRE on xx/xx/xx. I have taken your advice, and I am listening to my pa life questions via the podcast as well. Those questions are very detailed- or are those the harder questions on the exam. But knowing the basic key terms is the majority?

I already responded to this chap so no need to worry, but I figured I’d pass along some of the critical points to you.
NO, key terms are NOT the MAJORITY!
“Wait, what? Aren’t you the key term guy? Aren’t you the guy who wrote The Final Step which is all key terms?”
Yes & yes.
I think key terms are HUGELY important. I think they can make the difference between confidence and terror, passing and failing.
But…
Key terms are the foundation, not the majority. That’s like saying knowing multiplication tables is the majority of calculus. If you don’t know your multiplication tables, you’re going to struggle in calculus – but it’s the foundation, not the majority. Key terms make the next level easier and possible. Without them, you have to work 10x as hard, but please don’t misunderstand. The exam isn’t a matching test. You have to think.
But there’s no better book out there for building that foundation than The Final Step.
