The large sample size (n = 638) far exceeded the 323 valid cases needed, determined by a preliminary sample size and power calculation, to achieve sufficient sensitivity to detect significance. Discussion: Performance on the PACKRAT examination is a significant predictor for passing the PANCE as evidenced by the low p-value resulting from the logistic regression. The overall pass rate on the PANCE among those taking either the PACKRAT 1, PACKRAT 2 or both was 89.4%. The mean score on PACKRAT 2 of those who failed the PANCE was 127 and of those who passed was 155. The mean score on PACKRAT 1 of those who failed the PANCE was 118 and of those who passed was 145. Results: Analysis of the data reveals that both PACKRAT 1 and PACKRAT 2 scores are significant predictors of passing the PANCE (p <. The PACKRAT scores at each administration point were then compared to the PANCE pass/fail outcome for the same students using a logistic regression model. Methods: The PACKRAT examination was administered to Physician Assistant students at two data points: near the end of the didactic curriculum and near the end of the clinical curriculum. King, MPAS, PA-C Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between individual student scores on the PACKRAT at two administration points and their pass/fail performance on the PANCE.
