Pip the sparrow
Your guide. Pip tells you what's next, where you left off, and when you've earned a break.
Audio-first PANCE prep · Coming soon to iOS & Android
Study for the PANCE with your ears.
ListenPrep turns board facts into story-driven podcast episodes you can play on the commute, at the gym or in bed. Then it quizzes you at just the right moment, so what you heard is still there on exam day.
English and Spanish audio (Spanish library growing). No account needed to start.
Listen. Practice. Remember.
Three steps, and the first one fits in a commute.

Listen
Press play on an episode. At St. Jude's General, a medical drama, the facts arrive as patients, pages and bad news at 3 a.m. In The Corner Case, three friends argue their way through the same material. Hear something worth keeping? Tap Quiz Me on This Later.

Practice
Short quizzes pull from what you just heard, plus the clips you saved. Every answer comes with an explanation, and the questions you miss come back sooner.

Remember
Spaced review brings each fact back right before you'd forget it. A mastery grid shows which topics are solid and which are fading, so you know where tonight's twenty minutes should go.
Why stories, and why quizzes?
Two ideas from learning research do most of the work here, and neither is new.
Retrieval practice. Pulling a fact out of memory strengthens it more than reading it again. That's why every episode is followed by questions, not a summary.
Spacing. Reviews spread out over days tend to hold up better than one long cram. ListenPrep schedules those reviews for you, so you don't have to keep a spreadsheet.
Stories give facts somewhere to live. A drug interaction is easier to recall when you remember the patient it happened to. The narrative is the hook; the quiz is what sets it.
ListenPrep is a study aid, not a substitute for your program, your question banks or clinical judgment. We won't promise you a score. We will make the hours you already spend in the car count.
Everything you need to study hands-free
Story-driven episodes
Serialized audio that covers PANCE content areas, written to be followed without looking at a screen.
Quiz Me on This Later
One tap saves the moment you just heard and turns it into a question for your next drill. Works from the lock screen, too.
Spaced-repetition quizzes
Board-style questions with explanations, scheduled around what you're about to forget.
Songs that encode facts
Some episodes end with a song. Keep the ones that help, skip the ones that don't, and play your set on repeat.
Fall asleep mode
Pick 15, 30 or 60 minutes of the facts you need most, read calmly, no music. It stops on its own.
Flashcards
Short, associated terms for quick recall drills between episodes, whenever you have a spare minute.
Timed mock exam
A full practice exam built to the PANCE blueprint, timed like the real thing.
Find my level
A placement test lets you skip what you already know and start where the work is.
English and Spanish audio
Listen in the language you think in. Spanish library growing; lessons stay in your language while you practice.

Built for PA students with more drive time than desk time
Didactic-year students
Lock in the fundamentals while they're fresh, a few episodes a week.

The final stretch
Weeks out from the PANCE, use practice and sleep mode to hit your weakest topics every day.
Meet the study crew
Three small animals with strong opinions about renal physiology.
Shelly the turtle
The explainer. When you miss a question, Shelly walks you through why, without making it weird.
Mango the cat
Sass and celebrations. Mango throws you a party for a streak and an eye-roll for guessing "C" again.
Questions
When can I get it?
ListenPrep is coming to the App Store and Google Play. Join the waitlist and we'll email you once when it's live.
Which exam does it cover?
The PANCE (Physician Assistant National Certifying Exam) first. Episodes and questions are organized around the exam's content areas.
Do I need to look at my phone?
Not while you listen. Episodes play one after another, and you can save a moment from the lock screen. Practice quizzes do need your eyes and thumbs, so save those for when you've parked.
Does it replace my question bank?
No. Think of it as the study time you didn't have before: the commute, the dishes, the ten minutes before sleep. Keep using the resources your program recommends.
Is it available in Spanish?
Audio comes in English and Spanish (Spanish library growing). Right now there's one full Spanish series, La Última Guardia, with more on the way.
Do I need an account?
No. You can start as a guest and your progress is saved on your device. Create an account if you want to sync across devices.
How much will it cost?
We haven't announced pricing yet. Waitlist members will hear first.
