Hi, everyone. I'm the one last week that was flipping out about the ANCC FNP exam. Well, I passed today! I am sooo happy! It was definitely a fair test. Nothing way out there question wise, but there were quite a few things that I was expected that I didn't see (like not very many vaccine questions). I think someone said to review the ANA standards of nursing, and that is good advise. Fitzgerald's CDs were good, and Leik's review book was also very helpful. Thank you all for your help!

Congrats!! You must be so relieved!
I take mine in less than 2 weeks and am really freaked out, like you were before you took yours. I'm glad not many vaccines, that's my weak area..

Careful, questions are random! You will not take the same test.
Good luck, don't sweat it.

Congrats! Guess what? I took ANCC today too, and also passed :) (ANP, not FNP)
Much better than the NCLEX. Almost enjoyed myself.
Look at all us new NPs--coming on strong in the biggest healthcare crisis of our time.
So many opportunities, and a chance to make a real difference.
I've never said anything so cheesy. Though it's from the heart :3

How long does everyone usually take to study for exam?
Thanks everyone. I am so relieved to be done.
I studied for a good seven weeks before taking the exam. I have a couple of classmates that aren't taking the exam until next month and they started studying the same time I did. If I remember correctly, the Fitzgerald course said to allow atleast six weeks to prepare. The best piece of advice I got though is wait to do practice tests until the end. This is not the kind of test where you learn how to to answer the questions like the NCLEX, this test tests your actual knowledge base. Study the material first, then do practice exams the last week before you take the test to see where you may need to focus your studying more.
Good luck. Hope this helped.
