Projectile vomiting in an infant.

A child with persistent fever, conjunctivitis, and cracked lips.

Intermittent abdominal pain with currant jelly stool.

A descending maculopapular rash starting at the face.

Pediatric questions on board exams always seem straightforward… until they’re not.

I turned some of these high-yield pediatric “gotchas” into an interactive crossword-style challenge because honestly, studying feels less painful when it’s gameified.

Curious which pediatric diagnoses people still mix up under pressure.

Hospice patient with metastatic pancreatic cancer arrives hypotensive, hypoxic, confused, and rapidly deteriorating. Daughter says “do everything,” but there’s no advance directive available.

What’s your next move?

Curious how others approach these situations clinically and ethically under pressure.

Hey everyone,

I’m a practicing PA-C and recently built something I wish I had when I was studying for boards.

It’s a free PANCE/PANRE baseline exam that doesn’t just give you a score; it maps out exactly where you’re losing points (by system + topic), so you can stop studying everything blindly and actually focus on your weak areas.

Just trying to create something genuinely useful for PA students and PAs preparing for boards/recert.

If anyone here is studying right now and wants to try it, I’d seriously appreciate honest feedback, good or bad. Still improving things and want to make it as high-yield as possible.

Also curious:

What’s been the most frustrating part of your PANCE prep?

Do you feel like most resources actually show you what to fix, or just give more questions?

Appreciate this community 🙌
