Add a live-course package to claim up to 30 hours of AAPA Category 1 CME — all backed by our 100% Pass Guarantee.
The exam question bank holds roughly 1,800 questions. The night before an exam, an algorithm draws a fraction of them — and when PAs fall short, they get a printout of the topic types they missed.
We’ve collected that data for 10 years. Every item in the Precision Study Guide comes from a question PAs actually missed — nothing generic. Learn it thoroughly and scores consistently climb 100+ points. PAs who failed two, three, even six times have used this system and passed.
| Step | Question to answer | Clinical component |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pathophysiology? | Basic scientific concepts |
| 2 | How do they present? | Think like a test writer — presentation patterns |
| 3 | How do we diagnose? | History, physical exam, diagnostic tests |
| 4 | How do we treat? | PMI — patient education, medications, interventions |
You learn to think through every disease the same way the NCCPA structures its questions — so you can approach anything the exam throws at you, not just recall a fact.
However you’re recertifying, the same Precision content keeps you ready. Not sure which path is right for you? We’re happy to help you decide.
The traditional Physician Assistant National Recertifying Exam — a single proctored test within your certification cycle. This course gives you the focused, high-yield review to walk in ready and pass the first time.
The at-home alternative: you answer questions over time instead of one exam day. The Precision system keeps you sharp across the whole cycle, with content mapped to the NCCPA blueprint and levels of knowledge.
Over 100 hours of on-demand video and a full question bank, organized so you always know exactly what to do next.
The PANRE Precision Study Guide, Bullet Points (PDF + 27-min audio), Colored Content, the Red Light Video, Acid-Base questions with video answers, and the 12-week video slides.
One body system per week — watch the video, then take the quiz. Eleven systems plus a full comprehensive review week. 220+ quiz questions in all.
24 focused, high-yield topic videos — cardiology, EKG, pharmacology, radiology, lab medicine, and every major system — for fast, targeted review.
21 recorded Q&A sessions (~30 hours) working real questions and clinical reasoning directly with John — the way the exam actually tests you.
The complete live PANRE/PANRE-LA board review on demand, including POP: Psychology of a PANCE Writer with Tina Butler — how the NCCPA writes its questions.
The 139-question PANRE Comprehensive Precision Exam — treat it like the real thing for an honest read on your readiness before exam day.
A steady, structured cadence that rebuilds your command of every domain — with real video runtimes and quiz counts.

John has taught PA board review for over 20 years and helped more than 32,000 clinicians pass the PANCE and PANRE. He’s a Guinness World Record holder for the longest medical lecture, a ForbesBooks author, and the leader of an Inc. 5000–recognized, veteran-owned company.
He personally runs the 21 “Questions with John” sessions in this course — working real exam questions and the clinical reasoning behind them, the same pattern-recognition approach he built into Active Engagement Learning®.
Michael brings an extensive background in emergency medicine and education to the CME4Life faculty. A Physician Associate since 2004, he has spent his career making complex medicine clear, engaging, and genuinely useful at the bedside.
He founded an online Emergency Medicine fellowship for licensed PAs in 2018 and has served as a primary and adjunct lecturer for PA programs for more than 15 years — the same clarity-first, anti-boring approach that defines a CME4Life review.
I highly encourage any PA getting ready to take the PANRE to use CME4Life. John makes things incredibly easy to recall.
