3P exam

I've taken it 3x. I graduated in January. First one I took was required for school and I took 6 months before graduation, then we were required to take one the last week of school. First time I got a 65, then 6 months later got a 64. I went back and studied a lot of topics that threw me and I took one on my own like a week ago and scored 69. I would just study those weak areas the test points out. Don't put too much into it. My friend got a 73 and failed their boards. Lots of others have never scored above 65 and still pass. Just focus on topics the exam flags. My school required you to score above a 62 since that is national average.

Has any NPs taken a 3P exam before and if so how do you study for it. I have taken it two times and can't make a 67%, I'm always short of making it what am I doing wrong?

Do your University give you the exam during your first clinical rotation and if you don't pass withdraw you from the program, and you're almost about to graduate?

We took the APEA version. It's not something you're necessarily supposed to ace, but they want you to be close to the national average. APEA does sell their study bank of questions for the 3P exam and I found them to be really helpful when studying for it, as they ask their questions in a particular way. I also found their study bank and review course helpful prior to taking the FNP board exam, as well as utilizing other study tools.
