I am scheduled to take the AANP FNP certification exam in a few weeks. In our advanced pharm class (taught by an AWESOME PharmD - but not an NP), we glossed over the cytochrome P450 system. She told us, you probably don't need to know this stuff... Reviewing materials for the exam - it looks like it's coming up a lot (esp. in Fitzgerald) and I am concerned.

Many of my friends who are NPs told me the certification exam was much easier than they expected. I know we can't discuss exact questions from the boards but I am wondering if anyone who has passed the AANP cert encountered this particular pharm topic going to come up?

If so - I better get to memorizing it!

Thanks in advance!

hi i just took my test this past monday and passed. i remember studying that topic but i did not have it on boards. I will say this, i purchased the fitzgerald book and after spending a few hours reading it i was like no...way to much info and way to wordy. My school made up complete the APEA review and i studied from the leik book. I was told these are the only two sources you need to pass and i agree. I didnt study anything else just APEA notes, purchased the APEA book full of questions and purchased leik's question app (so i could have something on the go). As far as the test goes, i would say 90% of the questions was information that i had studied. the questions were not hard and didnt seem tricky. I answered probably almost 2000 study questions. i would definitely loose the fitzgerald book, just my opinion.

I appreciate your help! Did you feel like the boards were difficult? So many of my NP friends say it's easier than the RN NCLEX

I do not think it was bad at all
