Eligibility Requirements

You are eligible to take the PANRE recertification exam in 2008 if you:
• hold valid NCCPA certification and
• are in the fifth or sixth year of the certification maintenance cycle.

Registration Information

PANRE: 2008
Advance PANRE registration with payment of $300 is required, but you may schedule your exam anytime (depending on testing center availability) within the 180 day timeframe established for you to take the exam based on the successful completion of all required materials to NCCPA.

When registering for PANRE, please consider the following requirements:

• You have 180 days from the beginning of your exam timeframe to the end of your timeframe in which to take the exam. These dates will be reflected on your exam acknowledgement.
• If you apply late in your sixth year, your timeframe will be shorter than 180 days to ensure you take the test prior to your certification expiring.
• You may only take PANRE once in any 90-day period and you may only take PANRE twice in your fifth year and twice in your sixth year.

Pearson VUE testing centers are located throughout the U.S. and other select countries. Visit www.pearsonvue.com/nccpa to schedule your exam date and for directions to testing centers in your area.

**PANRE testing in 2008 will begin on March 1.

Self Assessment

To assist PAs in assessing their readiness for PANRE, NCCPA has designed a self assessment that you can take anytime during your certification maintenance cycle – even after you’ve already registered for a recertification exam.

The self assessment includes 120 multiple-choice questions that have been extracted from the actual test item banks, which provides you an opportunity to familiarize yourself with the format and style of actual exam questions. In addition, the online assessment is designed to reflect the time constraints (1 minute per question) associated with the actual exam, which allows you the opportunity to ensure that you can effectively manage your exam time.

PAs register online for the self assessment and may immediately begin the 120-minute assessment or choose to complete it later at a more convenient time. The self assessment will be available for 180 days from the registration date. Priced at $35, the self assessment is a tool to assist you in assessing your relative strengths and weaknesses as you prepare for the recertification exam.
