Can anyone give suggestions on the best review classes to study and prepare for the AANP,FNP board exam? I have quite a few study materials and the capstone course we had the Hollier review and Q Bank questions. I have a Leik book, not the newest edition from a prior class. The APEA book with questions as well. The Q Bank APEA questions seem too easy compared to other material with questions I have viewed. I do not know what to expect and wish to pass the first time!
I am most recently looking in to the Med Challenger review, there is a free trial and appears to be informative. Has anyone who passed first time prepared with the Med Challenger course? Any tips or tricks for study. What is a good time frame to test , any opinions? Other than when I am ready, haha I don't know what to expect from such a broad exam so I am not sure I will ever be fully prepared:)
Thank you in advance!

Following--I have heard of so many different prep courses. I feel like the most common one I have heard are Barkley and Sarah Michelle.

Hi. I just recently graduated December 12th and passed my exam the first time on the 16th. The real question is, do you know the material? That is first and foremost. Next, do the Leik book questions. Then, there is a review, crash course on facebook, her name is Sarah Michelle and she ties it all together. The exam was so simple. We did APEA predictor exams in my program and those were a million times harder than the certification exam! Know your stuff and go get it done ?
Congratulations on passing your boards!

The Necessary NP Review course fit my learning style very well. She also had the best EKG review/refresher I’ve ever attended. Marye Kellerman is her name. She is absolutely outstanding. I can’t recommend her courses enough.
