PASSED AANP

[dimpsogre]

Hello everyone!

Happy to announce that I passed AGPCNP on 8/28/15. I graduated in July 28 and started reviewing the day after for a total of 4 weeks of studying. I gathered all my lecture notes from the last 3 semesters, went to Fitzgerald review in May and was given CDs of her lecture. I listened those in the car. I also did all Fitzgerald modules as well as practice questions. I got 71% (passing of 70%) on the 3rd week of my review and another one with a score of 83% few days before the exam. I also purchased Winland practice questions - only did half of the book. I also purchased Leik and studied it cover to cover. I did all the questions and made sure I knew all the exam tips by heart. I felt like LEIK helped me the most. There were probably 25% of LEIK tips on the exams. Some of them are written verbatim. I did an AANP practice exam and got 65% (passing of 66%). I also reviewed my Assessment book the night before - probably had few hours of sleep the last few days before the exams. I was so nervous! The questions were fair and doable. I had the most boring life for a month - worked twice a week and have a family to take care of. Let me know if you guys have any questions. I was offered a job a week before class ended so I had a little bit of pressure at hand. I wish all of you luck.

Congratulations! I"m due to graduate in May 2016. I'm arranging a Fitzgerald review in March and I may or may not buy the Leik book.

Do you have any offers lined up already?

Thank you! =) LEIK book is by far the best review book in my opinion. I liked Fitzgerald - she explained anemia so well. As far as offers, I never applied for a job but one of the attending at my hospital recommended me to another doctor. I will start working at a family practice clinic next month. Good luck to you.
