Failed the PNCB-Primary Care PNP Certification Exam

[AbbyPNP]

Hello everyone, I'm new to this group and I need some help in regards to studying to pass the PNCB primary care PNP exam. I've taken it twice now and I failed both times, I'm very frustrated and disappointed at the same time. I've done all I can in terms of studying but I don't know what else to do. Please help if you can. Thank you

I feel your frustration!!  When I failed I initially tried the study guides with practice questions alone and felt I wasn't getting anywhere.  But the thing that put me over the top was attending the in person NAPNAP review.  

I just looked and it appears that they are doing a 'Zoom' 3 day course in June. Not ideal but cheaper than paying for a plane ticket and hotel room. They seem to focus on the most relevant stuff and it gives you a good place to focus with the practice questions.  Good luck!

Yes, I agree, NAPNAP is also a good review. I did the in person course the year that I graduated. I failed the first time and was granted online access to study.

Thank you both for replying. What was more frustrating in the days to come was my score! Granted passing with a high score is ideal, but I was nine points away from solely a big green PASS. I am definitely going to try the NAPNAP and am already a member. I am in no rush and can wait until June to retest. Luckily I have a job I love and have a new contract with. Thank you!
