*Update* hello everyone, I've been meaning to update for sometime now. I retook both exams over and passed. I went back and mastered my weak areas, and blew those exams out the water. Thanks for your support and kind words!!

Also I didn't mention this, but I attended a live Fitzgerald review course. I felt she was very thorough, and provided information that would be extremely useful in practice. I don't feel that her review prepared me for the examination. I'm trying to decide if I want to use her material or stick with the Leik and Barkley..

Thank you FNP2015, I was unaware that I could also register for the Adult-Gero exam. I heard they were retiring that exam, however I did notice it is listed as an opinion on the AANP website. I will consider this as well. In the meantime I'm going to revisit my weak areas. Which were planning and diagnosis for AANP..

Thanks for your response, for the ANCC I did not study the non clinical questions as much as I should. I had only two cultural questions, and lots of questions that pertained to different types of leadership, healthcare policies, and other professional type questions. I believe had I studied more of the professional/ethical content I would have passed. I did take a break from the books, but plan to start studying this weekend. Thanks again

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum, but needed some advice and encouragement. I took the AANP exam last month, and didn't pass. I felt the exam was going well until I started getting tons of dermatology questions, and several pediatric questions that I just couldn't bring to memory. I studied hard for 2 1/2 weeks before taking the ANCC and failed by 19 points. Again, I felt the test was going well until I started receiving tons of policy questions and terminology that I was not familiar with. There was also the multiple multiples, and several photos that were of poor quality. I was confident that I had passed the ANCC until the end. I have recently completed the 15 CEUs for AANP, registered for the exam, and waiting to hear back from AANP. I'm so stressed out, on top of that I constantly have coworkers asking me about when I'm testing. I attended the Fitzgerskd review, read Leiks book, and listened to Barkley CDs. I will admit that I didn't do many practice quizzes for AANP, which might have been my down fall. Does anyone have any suggestions??
