    Hi everyone at allnurses.com!

    I am going to be sitting for the ANCC Adult-Gero certification exam in approximately two weeks (FYI, I took the AANP and didn't fair so well). Nevertheless, just looking for some suggestions for prepping for this exam. I have the Fitzgerald CD's and her book, that's it. Anyone out there took this new exam yet (it began Jan.28)? I hear it has multiple choice, choose all that apply, point and click, etc.

    HELP!!!!

    Are you serious?! Oh Dear Lord! I would have literally died! Try to get your hands on APEA, Liek, and Claborn. You should also take a review seminar if you can.

    If you had difficulty with Fitzgerald's material, I recommend considering Tom Barkley's courses. He offers both live courses as well as home study. I used his materials for the acute care exam in late 2011 and found that the material he covered was pretty much what was tested. Money well spent . His home study materials aren't cheap BUT he claims a high pass rate on the exams. His website is Barkley & Associates Certification Review/Clinical Update Continuing Education. He does offer materials for the adult-gero exam as well as acute care and several others.

    Good luck!

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I signed up today on AdultNPprep.com -- as they have actually just recently added specific questions geared towards the Adult-gero NP exam with ANCC. The price was good (marked down) and then you can add SAVE-ABPX for an additional 10% off. I did the practice exam for free and now have 5 tests of 100 questions each to do. I hope this helps! Let me know if anyone else has tried these test questions and if you found them helpful.

    Good luck to all and thanks again

    I'm so glad you asked about this! I work for ANCC, and our Credentialing Knowledge Center (the branch of ANCC that produces exam prep materials) just came out with web-based practice test question and answer sets to help prepare for this exam! 90-day access to 100 questions is available for each Adult-Gero NP exam for $115.
