Which review course for NP boards is best? I just finished Adult-Gero Primary Care NP program.

I felt that Amelie Hollier's review course was best for me. I purchased Barkley's own as well (on CDs) but I believe I could have done without Barkley's. I sat for the AANP AGPCNP board exam.

How much time in advance would you recommend to prep for the NP exam with Amelie Hollier's review? I wanna see if there is something I can purchased to do some case studies along the way before the time creeps up on me. I like to prepare a few months in advanced since I have test anxiety and I need to time myself for each question like I did with NCLEX 9 years ago.

I started preparing 3 semesters prior to graduation (in the Spring semester) when I started clinicals, with Leik's app (tied to her book). I got Hollier's review course and MyQBank in the Summer. I started in the bank in the Summer and didn't watch her review course til the Fall (my last semester). I also listened to Barkley's CDs in the Fall as well. I just constantly did questions throughout those 3 semesters. The sooner you start, the better, in my opinion anyway ?

Thank you!! Yes, I remember doing about 12K questions for 3 months before the NCLEX and it was my 2nd go around and passed with 75 questions. So I didn't know how this would be for this type of licensure exam.

OMG!! God Bless ya!! I think back when I took the NCLEX (2005), they recommended doing 2000 questions and I barely got to about 1000 and I got tired and just went ahead and took it. Passed the first time PRAISE GOD. I couldn't imagine doing 12K questions. I did about 1500 questions for the NP boards. I tried to get to 2000, but just couldn't LOL

I'm aiming for about 4K questions if I can, but that's hoping because that would be the time my kids' extracurricular activities would be ramping up. =\
