NP exam

I have failed the ANCC and the AACN by just a few I mean few points its so frustrating.  I have a hard time taking tests its not that I don't know the information.  Has anyone took either one of these exams recently and does anyone have advice on how to study for them.  I have a hard tie with the professional role and core competencies part I do OK in the clinical part.

    Search the forum. Tons of threads on study tips/ideas/recommendations for both exams.

    I do not feel like the program I took they were very good at teaching us the knowledge she we needed but as I have reviewed for this exam I have learned a lot and still learning. Most of my fellow students feel the same way

    I can only guess that you took the ANCC *acute* care NP exam since you also mentioned having taken the AACN exam. 

    Since you mentioned having difficulty with "professional role and core competencies" portions, I might recommend taking Sarah Michelle NP Reviews https://npreviews.com/faq/. Her courses are meant for PRIMARY NPs taking the ANCC or the AANP, but professional roles and core competencies, I believe are the same across the board for all NPs (I could be wrong). I did fail my initial attempt for primary care NP with the ANCC exam; however, Sarah Michelle's course was REALLY helpful to me and I passed the 2nd time with time to spare! Something to consider. [As an aside, prior to SM's course, I had bought the Leik book, the ANCC's review book, and bought Fitzgerald's course, and still failed the initial exam.]

    Wishing you the best.
