Aug 3, 2013 I thought the FamilyNP Prep site, even though was supposed to be AANP, seemed more like ANCCs test plan. AANP sells a practice test that you can do online , I thought it was much more similar to the real thing than the FamilyNP preps site.
MS.MSN-FNP 1 Post Aug 30, 2013 I'm having trouble with the scenario questions, specifically for the AANP exam. I have done the Barkley live review. However I didn't pass AANP the first time. Now I have Fitz books and cd's, the Leik book and I'll find a website with other practice questions. Sometimes its hard to decide the best answer & i find myself saying, it depends on how you look at the situation then i choose the wrong answer. Does anyone have any other advice that could help me?I'm really stressed and struggling at this point. I need to get this behind me.

bsnanat2 268 Posts Specializes in .. Sep 21, 2013 Just passed ANCC. Very interesting test. Found the ANCC test bank, ANCC test tips very helpful. Did Fitzgerald CD's and found them to be good, but too much extraneous information that is better reserved for actual practice. The most helpful by far was APEA Hollier. Absolutely fabulous. Did the online review, which was better than being at the live session because I could watch it twice and could still see all the slides. Hollier's derm section was invaluable. Best money spent.
Barinbass 184 Posts Sep 23, 2013 Where is the ANCC test banK? I have not noticed it on their site. I did get two small books by Mometrix that was supposed to be ANCC exam tips, but I found errors in the first one I looked at early on and have not used them. Are these what you mean or is there another bank of tests so to speak?
bsnanat2 268 Posts Specializes in .. Sep 23, 2013 Go to ANCC website, choose "knowledge center", then "education", then "online courses" then "certification/online learning". Not the easiest site to navigate but good info.
lisswatas 2 Posts Oct 1, 2013 I passed the ANCC-FNP board exam today. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was one who read this post and followed the majority of it, and I think it really did help me pass!
lisswatas 2 Posts Oct 1, 2013 BY THE WAY... If you want to know what I did in particular to pass: 1) Leik FNP Certification: Intensive Review2) Barkley's Live Course Review, listened to the CDs, and read through the manual. 3) Kellerman's Necessary NP 1000 Questions4) FamilyNPprep.com 15-test bundle Additionally, I also bought the ANCC FNP practice test questions and the test-taking strategies course. I think added up altogether, these materials really helped me pass this exam. As well as positive thinking, and prayers. (I asked many of my family members, close friends, and a few priests I knew, to pray for me. haha) I thank God for all my successes!!!
Barinbass 184 Posts Oct 2, 2013 I took the AANP AGNP exam Sept 25 and passed it. I put a lot of work into preparing for it. Plus several were saying prayers for me too!! Thanks to them. Glad that is over!
