Yes, I took the FNP-AANP exam. I found the APEA questions better and more like the exam then Exam EDGE. I took the practice test off the AANP site and that was pretty much like the real exam except with not as many questions. I don't recall getting specific questions about JNC 8. It sounds like with all your preparation you will be more than ready!! Good luck to you!!!

Yes, all the questions were multiple choice. Good luck! You can do it!!

I too read all of these comments that were listed about ways to pass boards. So, I vowed to come back and hopefully help someone else who had the intense anxiety I felt for this test. First of all, I graduated December 10, 2014 and I took the AANP exam today 1/21/2014. I PASSED on my first try!! I went to a decent school is Houston, Texas and got pretty decent grades and worked as a RN for 10 years. To throw it out there, I have three kids, worked a full time job, and also balance family obligations and problems. I took the Hollier review back in November which I thought was great!! However, I don't feel that I retained much of this class since it was months ago. When I decided to start studying, I looked at this site and got ideas. So, with that information I decided to purchase the AUDIO CDs from Fitzgerald. I feel like they were very clear, provided a good explanation of the information BUT can be VERY boring! Hollier is much more animated and to the point! I listened to those CDs (Fitzgerald) twice and I purchased the APEA exams online and got an average of 69-72%. I also purchased the AANP practice exam(got a 77%) and the review questions from Exam Edge (for a 10 test bundle averaged 510-575) and felt the questions helped SOME. In conclusion, I feel that a review course that you can listen to over and over ( in my case Fitzgerald), the AANP practice questions, the APEA predictor exam, and just a belief that your going to do fine will help you pull through!! When I took the exam, I honestly felt like I wasn't prepared and had no idea how I was going to do! I felt like half way through that I totally guessed at most of the questions and wondered if ANYTHING really helped?!?!?!? I think, that by at least reviewing the information and how to critically think through the questions helped me to use my critical thinking skills and got me through exam! I had a lot of geriatric, HIV, and cardiovascular questions. I wish you luck!! Pls contact me if you have ANY questions!! ( I was up many nights reading this site stressing about my outcome) You are NOT ALONE!! :) Karen
