Exam Master Corporation Selects Pearson VUE as Exam Delivery Provider for the PA-CAT
Exam Master collaborated with the physician assistant educational community to develop the PA-CAT specifically for use by physician assistant educators and their admissions departments as part of a holistic admissions process. The PA-CAT assesses admission candidates’ PA curriculum readiness using 240 single-best-answer test items spanning nine foundational prerequisite subjects. The PA-CAT has been administered to thousands of admissions candidates applying to physician assistant school since its release in May of 2020.
“Delivery of the PA-CAT through Pearson VUE’s in-person testing centers and online-exam delivery system will provide access to more testing options as well as expanded customer service support for our candidates taking the PA-CAT. Partnering with Pearson VUE, which understands both the highstakes exam delivery environment and medical education licensure exams, provides Exam Master with a world-class partner to help us support and expand the PA-CAT within physician assistant education.”
