FNP Exam August 24, 2014

Published

Hello All,

I have taken the FNP exam twice this year and I am only missing the exam by a few points. I have taken Fitzgerald Review Course, I have purchased the Fitzgerald Review CD's and thw work book. I also have the CD with over 500 questions and have answered all of them. I have studied the Leiks book and I have completed the Exam on the AANP website. I graduated top of my class and at this point I am at a total lost. Any tips from those who have passed? My personal email is [email protected]. If you send me an email, I will definitely respond. I can not take the test again until January. I really would like to study with someone who has passed. I am not very interested in changing courses to study for the ANCC. I was told that it is a much harder test.

Thank SV1962

Why don't you try to take the ANCC exam. Although people might say it is a hard exam, the test wording might be better suited to your test taking abilities. I used most of the resources you used (without taking the review course itself) and I have already posted how I studied on this board so emailing you separately might not be of benefit.

I agree with the above, try the ANCC.

Did you fail both times with deficiencies in the same area(s)?

I really want to stic with the same test. All of my friends that took the ANCC said it is much more difficult. I am only three points shy of passing the FNP. I really think I am over thinking the test.

I am preparing for the test again. I will attempt the test the the end of February and I will keep you posted.

Thanks for your advice!

Hello,

My weekest area is planning. No problems with assessment or diagnosis. I have been non-clinical for a long time. I recently took a job in a Primary Care Clinic, which I think will help me a great deal. Leiks study book is very good as well. I do see where I could have made some very careless mistakes. I am not going to give up! I can do this!

Thanks for your input!

Did you take the AANP $50 practice test? I didn't hear you mention Barkley. Have you tried his material? Maybe you could get his CD's and try them out. In my opinion the Barkley CD's were far more easy to listen to than Fitzgerald's. I did the Leik book also, it was great. Good luck.
