PA BoardLab

The board-prep app that respects your wallet and your intelligence.

PA BoardLab helps physician assistant students and practicing PAs prepare for the PANCE, PANRE, and end-of-rotation exams — with a real free tier, content a clinician has actually reviewed, and a price that isn't $300.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
• A genuine free tier: 5 practice questions every day, forever. No credit card, no 7-day trial that bills you.
• Clinician-reviewed content. Questions and explanations are AI-drafted and human-verified before they ever reach you — no unchecked AI slop.
• Honest pricing: Pro is $99/year (under $8.25/month) or $14.99/month, versus the $259–$495 you'll pay elsewhere. One subscription covers web and iOS.

THE STUDY LOOP
• QBank — build any block in seconds: tutor, timed, or exam-simulator mode across 13 organ systems and every task category, drawn on the current NCCPA blueprint.
• Autopsy your misses — every question carries a full explanation, the key clue, the reasoning pathway, a high-yield pearl, and the exam trap to avoid.
• Pearls — a searchable, clinician-reviewed disease library for fast review.
• Blueprint heatmap — see your coverage and accuracy across every content area.
• Progress — an estimated-readiness score (a study signal, never a pass prediction), accuracy and consistency trends, and a per-topic breakdown.
• AI clinical-reasoning tutor (Pro) — ask why an answer is right and get a Socratic walk-through, not just a paragraph.

WHO IT'S FOR
• PA students building toward initial certification (PANCE)
• Clinical-year students preparing for end-of-rotation exams
• Practicing PAs recertifying on their own schedule (PANRE / PANRE-LA)

FREE VS PRO
Free forever: 5 questions/day, Pearls, progress tracking. Pro unlocks unlimited questions, the exam simulator, the AI tutor, and full analytics.
