Master Your PA EOR Exams with Our Exam Blueprint
End of Rotation (EOR) exams are standard evaluations that PA students take during their clinical year. Each EOR exam has 120 multiple-choice questions and reflects the needs of a broad diversity of patients. 100 of the 120 questions are scored; 20 of the questions are unscored and used to aid in the development of future PANCE exams.
The Physician Assistant Education Association (PAEA) develops the EOR exams from a standard blueprint and topic list. The EOR exam blueprint and topic list are made public in order to aid students as they prepare for the PANCE exam. (Note: The “topic list” for each medical specialty is not intended to be all-inclusive.)
