I got this email yesterday (I removed a few things for my own reasons but please read ahead):

Good Morning Brian,
I wanted to take a few minutes and update you on my situation.I had taken the PANRE twice and failed. Scores were 303 and 250.
After having a pity party, I sat down and re-evaluated my situation.I had used the Rutgers program on the first exam as well as The Final Step.The second time through, I purchased a new program through (name redacted by me). I found so many mistakes within the (name redacted) program and emailed them multiple times about it.They would always say ‘thank you, we made a mistake.’ But I got to the point that I just didn’t trust their program. This last time I went back and purchased Rutgers again. I used The Final Step but FINALLY took your advice about XXXXXX. It was like I was just fighting against XXXXXX. That just takes too much time I thought. In the end I had countless XXXXX everywhere in my house and at work.I also placed sticky notes in random places that stated “I passed!!” I even took a picture of this and put it on my phone so every time I used my phone I would see this.
Needless to say, I studied a lot, prayed a lot, and took my test for the last time on 12/14/2019. I found out on Christmas Eve that I had passed. I PASSED!!!!!
I know a pass is a pass but just to show the difference in scores and the way that I studied, my final score was 403.153 points better. Doing what you had suggested, studying differently, and a lot of prayers from myself and others got me through this.
I just wanted to let you know and feel free to share this with others.
Merry Christmas!!
Sherry, PA-C

I’m telling you and telling you and telling you medical content isimportant, but it’s never the reason people fail or don’t do well in school. You’ve got to do more than study medicine. I don’t mean more work. Surprisingly I mean less work. You just have to do more of the right things. You can’t do it all. It’s too much.
Let me show you how:
