I need advice from those who failed the AANP exam the first time. I took the exam and failed. I am waiting for my official letter in the mail so I can apply to retest. I am very upset and discouraged. I studied very hard using Fitzgerald CDs and book...

Anyone taking the AANP test soon? I take it next week and I'm super nervous! I took it once a few months ago but was not prepared. I studied Hollier, Fitzgerald, Leik and dunphy winland brown. I did a couple practice exams and I'm scoring in the 70s....

And Sarah, I cried before and after too!

I PASSED! thank you everyone for your encouragement and support this is such a wonderful feeling!

SarahFNP, Thank you for the advice! I do feel much more confident this time, but still nervous!!! I studied a much as I possibly can and my improvement on practice tests is really what raised my confidence this time. I can't wait to put it all behind...

Congratulations again!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!! You give me so much hope about passing the second time in a couple weeks.

I hope that helps!

Nursep2013, AANP is strictly all clinical questions and ANCC focuses more on theory and research and nursing profession. I know we covered those topics first year and it is def a weak area for me. There are rumors that the ANCC exam is changing in A...

Lauren, did you decide to take both exams? I hear they differ greatly from each other. I also heard that AANC is drastically changing in August.

Brenda, No not at all! I think there was one.

I was wondering if anyone can give advice on the predictor tests prior to taking the AANP exam. There are several out there (Fitzgerald, APEA, FamilyNPprep). I was wondering which tests you found most accurate and helpful and what your average scores...

Thank you everyone for your responses! What percentage(s) were you scoring on the exams? I think they say anything over 65% is passing.

I recommend Fitzgerald over Hollier for review course. Very different.. Hollier is more straight to the point, but Fitzgerald is more in depth and covers critical thinking needed for the exam.

I graduated 7 years ago, and there were a ton of jobs out there. I recently had to change jobs within the last year because of FNP school and it took much longer to find a job. I know nurses around here are staying with their current job and there ar...

Can anyone recommend which predictor test they liked best? I want to make sure I'm ready the next time around!

Thanks for your post nickifnp! I'm in the same situation as you were in and it gives me hope to know I WILL PASS the second time!

I recently tested through AANP. It is all clinically based. I think I had one question related to research and one related to culture.

I took the exam on June 4th and failed too!!!! Maybe we had the same test LOL. It was very heavy on content in my weak areas, but I also know that there were some questions I had no clue and others I made stupid choices. Someone recommended on here t...

I recently failed the AANP exam. I'm not sure whether to study and test for the ANCC or retest with AANP and go from there. I did APEA review, and book, Fitzgerald CDs, and book and really studied intensively for 4-6 weeks before testing. I really th...

Thank you, Lexi! This has to be one of the worst feelings in the world. Rainie, thank you for the information because I was not aware! How much time did you allow between testing? I don't want to take it too soon, but I don't want to wait until it i...
