It's so frustrating.... when i first scheduled the exam I had though that it would be straight forward just like you said... but after reading what some people have said on this forum (that, although they passed, they thought the test was really hard after studying for 4-6 weeks 8-10hrs a day!!)... i went through a direct-entry nursing program and passed my nclex after taking a review class and studying for a weekend but for some reason i am SO nervous about taking the AANP exam. I have already postponed it once (i was scheduled for july 21 and now i am scheduled for aug 24....). i am setting up my study plan for the next 20 days right now and i hope to feel good going into it....
