I am preparing for FNP exam with ANCC. The reason I've chosen ANCC because I am planning to do postgraduate Pshyc NP in the future and they offer this too. However, I got very anxious when I started preparing for exam when I found out that they have so much (bio)statistical information in the test. I went through example questions on ANCC site and I found those questions very difficult. Are they the same format on the exam? So difficult?! I have answered correctly only half of them and that was before I started preparation and learning process. I am preparing with Boardvitals.com, Liek book + FNP Mastery. What else I should consider or what strategies I should learn on taking exam? Is it worth to buy ANCC exam taking strategies packet? I really hate statistics in medicine, I think it is a waste of time for the future NP, but I need to comply and I am very worried if I will pass the exam. I have already scheduled my exam and I don't have time to apply for AANP certification and I already paid a lot of money to ANCC. Anyone who had the same experience, please respond. Help me relieve my fears because I cannot afford to fail, I have too little children and I am already 50 and full of debt... Please advise.

Thank you!

I just graduated from a Family Nurse Practitioner program and will soon start to prepare for my certification exam. Anyone knows a good test bank source for preparation? I was told that Fitzgerald course is helpful but it cost a lot and I would rather do a test bank-my personal preference, than reading a book or take a course. Thank you in advance.
