It probably over-prepared me, but that's better than under-prepared! Challenging prep questions and I actually learned a lot that I use now in practice too even beyond the exam.

I'm assuming you mean the ANCC PMHNP cert exam? It was fairly random, a lot of psych, a lot of general medical stuff, and then some basics. I would review both psych and FNP material for it, especially to cover the professional practice area and basic medicine, labs, primary care etc.

Only have used Board Vitals, it is definitely on the difficult side compared to the PMHNP books out there (especially on psychotherapy and psych topics which they cover very very thoroughly) and I felt almost too prepared, but overall it was very good. They also cover the non-psych stuff well. Honestly that exam has the most random things on it that I didn't expect, I would study FNP and psych NP questions and basic science stuff too.

Depends on the employer, some hospitals might want more but most private practices can go with either

it's asking about her PARTNER, who by the serology above is negative and not vaccinated so should be vaccinated and also has been exposed so needs Ig

I used it for AANP and thought it was by far the most helpful question set with detailed rationales, if not a little on the difficult side (which is good for prep in my opinion). My friend used it for ANCC and said they even had a section with the new ANCC question types (the complicated image ones etc. that everyone is scared about) which she said nobody else has yet.
