AANP study materials?

Published

Any ideas on how to study for the AANP? I heard Leik and Fritzgerald were good, but do you guys recommend any other study materials. Your input would be greatly appreciated!

If I could go back I would have gotten the Q-bank from APEA for a couple of months prior to testing so I'd get more of a breakdown on questions I miss and such that you don't get from a book.

As anh06005 notes, the APA Q-bank is really good. I would NOT waste time and money on ExamEdge. Hollier and Barkley are also great reviews.

Hello!

I am about to enroll in Barkley and Associates FNP review course. What did you like/dislike about it? Has anyone enrolled in APEA's review course? I am trying to decide which one to take.

I hope to hear from someone soon.

Thank you!

I felt Barkley broke down some of the areas well to be able to learn them well plus using the CDs reinforced the material. Use a quiz partner that is what helped me a lot. It's a good review not great. I really liked the Leik book you can't beat it for the price.

I attended a Hollier/APEA live review and purchased the Qbank for the month preceding my exam. I also used an older version of the Fitz book and the fast facts from Leik. I wanted various sources and I didn't read anything cover to cover, but I passed first time with a pretty decent score (in my opinion). Overall, I think the live review was a good refresher from school and the Qbank was probably the most helpful with testing me and giving rationales.

Dear racarlton85,

Thank you for your response. I have been out of practice as an RN for almost 5 years and feel so out of the loop. I am hoping that the review course will help me. I do plan on purchasing the Qbank practice exams to see where I am lacking.

Asking for lots of good vibes and prayers...

Much peace,

Hello! Could you tell me what the Q-bank is? I'm also looking for study materials and haven't heard of this. THANKS!
