FNP AANP exam passed, positive

Published

I wanted to make this post for one reason, a positive review. When I was reading about FNP certification there were far more negative reviews than positive. Here is my personal experience. I have a very varied background from ED, ICU, management, to flight nursing. Total of 212 credit hours with MSN and FNP track with certification in AANP exam. Your training and education at your school shall prepare you to test. I attended USI and was well prepared. It is not much different than Press Ganey scores, only the angry patients turn them in. The same could be attributed to the AANP exam as well, and I dare guess the ANCC (although there are theory questions here which I hate). People who have had a poor experience need a venue to vent. I passed this am, 150 questions in 54 minutes. I felt fairly confident. Study prep was only the Fitzgerald online review (most of it), over the weekend and I did take the practice test available through the AANP. This test was very representative of the real test, and some questions were exactly the same. Knowledge is prep, and you'll be fine. I just wanted to be one who posted a word of encouragement to those about the take the test. We always tend to think of those few we know who failed the exam, rather than the many we know who already passed and are practicing. Focus on the positive and not the negative. PS, if you test in Indianapolis stay there the night before, and beware the GPS will NOT take you to the testing center. Good FYI.

Thank you! I am scheduled to test this week and extremely nervous especially after reading posts on this site.

Can I ask what you scored on the aanp practice test? I scored a 90 on that and a 75 on an APEA practice quiz. Still feel like I'm going to struggle.

And it was very nice to read your post because after reading on this site I feel like more people fail AANP than pass!
