Loved this book. I haven’t started applying to PA school yet (I like to know what’s I’m getting myself into before) and I loved what this author had to say! Was an honest opinion from someone who is obviously passionate about his profession. He gave great advice you can apply to many profsssions also.

Very relevant and worth the cost. Our school actually buys each PA student one of these books about a week before class starts -- but I recommend getting it month or two before you start classes because it has some pointers for prep. I know I will be referring to this multiple times throughout didactic and clinical years leading up to the PANCE

It’s a good read - although every student I’ve met that is in PA school says not to study much before becaus you’ll get burnt out and also won’t know the depth that you need to go in. So, could be a little contradictory. Up to you

You are about to make a $100,000 investment in attending PA school. This book is your $20 insurance to make sure that investment pans out.
This is the book to buy once you have received an acceptance letter from a PA school.

John Bielinski, has written an extraordinary book. One that gives you all the tools you need to survive PA school. I am a first year PA student at the University of Dubuque and I will give you my take aways.
1.Study how you study - you need to know how you work best. He gives you some great tips including on intermittent memorization that I will be using, as well as other tools to make your study time more productive.
2. Keep the long view in mind. - you need to understand how to survive not just test to test, but in the long term so you pass the OSCE's and the national test. He will tell you how to do that as well as check in with you're Preceptors to make sure you succeed in your clinical year.
3. He gives you a good list of resources including what does and does not help for studying for the PANCE.
4. He gets your head in the right place. You need the right attitude to be successful.

John includes lots of personal stories, a few studies, and quite a few tips from PA's and PA students. I know I will be more successful having read this book. Thank you John.
