So I wanted to see if I could get some help regarding my problem. I took my AGACNP-BC yesterday and seemingly failed by one question.

Now my question is that for us acute care NPs, I don't seem to be able to find any resources to help with exam questions, etc.

I took the Barkley review in August, have the review book, have been re-listening to the lectures from the review, as well as taking his DRTs. The night before the exam, I got a 78 on the DRT. So I am befuddled as to what I did wrong!

I got all my clinical questions and that is not what tripped me up. It was all of those other questions...I got a lot of research, role development, priority questions (who would you take care of first). I got a lot of role development, like how would you tell someone at the place you work at what your scope of practice is?

I know now that I have to work on all the other stuff, the issues, trends, research and stuff. But is there some place that has questions to do like we did for the NCLEX? Just to get a feel for those types of questions? Clinical info I understand needs to be mastered and I am actually really comfortable with that at this point.

I think that the only way to "master" those other kinds of questions is to just do them over and over again.

Any help anyone? Since now I have to wait another 60 days to retake :(
