However, if I take the PANCE today and score a 350…I fail.Īccording to the announcements from the NCCPA, there is no indication that question difficulty changed. For example, if I took the PANCE in January 2019 and scored a 350 (let’s say that roughly correlated to a percentage score of 70%), I’d pass. How they are altering is still unclear, but history tells us they are increasing the passing cutoff score. The NCCPA announced they are altering the scoring of the PANCE. Throughout NCCPA’s history, although an increased passing standard typically results in a slightly reduced passing rate, over time the passing rate steadily increases. Based on the analyses conducted to estimate performance on the PANCE, it is anticipated that the pass rate for the 2019 PANCE will be slightly lower than the past few years. This trend is fairly typical of the historical standard settings. This indicates that the group of PAs who participated in the study agreed that entry-level PAs should demonstrate a slightly increased level of content knowledge in order to achieve initial certification. The recommendation from the 2018 PANCE standard setting study was approved by the NCCPA Board of Directors and resulted in a passing standard with an anticipated slightly lower passing rate when compared to the last several years. Scores typically decline for a while but gradually improve once the blueprint changes are digested and the test-taking community gets a better grasp of what new material appeared on the exam.īut wait, there’s more… NCCPA Announces Expected Decreased PANCE Pass Rates: One of the consequences of altering a blueprint is often a more challenging exam. There were significant changes in this update. Back in January 2019, the NCCPA released an updated Content Blueprint.
