Hello and welcome to the physician assistant exam review podcast. This is episode 159, and I've got something really special for you today.

We've got Madison, who's a didactic student heading into clinicals, who joined the November cohort of 33 days to pass the pants and got so much out of it that he wanted to come on and share with you just how powerful an experience it was for him.

And as we're heading into the April cohort with registration opening March 19th,

and I know some of you will be on the border as to whether or not to join us

and finally see those, all that hard work turn into points?

Well, I thought this would be the perfect time to share this interview. Like I said, registration is going to open March 19th.

And if you want to be first to know about it, head over to www.

position assistant examiner view.com and join the email list. And you will absolutely hear about it first and make sure that you are signed up and ready to go for that. Again, that'll open March 19th and we'll get started April 1st. But listen to what Madison has to say is if you're concerned about how much time it takes, if it'll fit into your schedule. He answers all those questions really, really well, probably better than I could.

another test where i'd get like a 70 right just about Just above passing. And it's just like, oh, my gosh, like I'm done for like all the negative speak that comes up. I can't do it. Like, you know, it'd be better like if I just quit now kind of thing. And so that's, that was the hard thing was it was was never, I always had to be an A, right? Everything has to be, you have to get above a 90. And it was just like this mentality of like, you're not good enough, you're not good enough, you're not good enough. So I think that's, it was the kind of the negative speak and the self confidence before the the program that like it just felt like this
