passing the AANP or ANCC exam

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 books, attended the APEA review course and studied the book from the course. I studied 4-6 weeks prior to taking the test. I did find the test to be challenging. I can break it down to two choices and don't always pick the best one. I don't know when I should schedule to retest. I need 15 CEUs prior to applying to retest. I am also considering taking the ANCC exam, although research and theory can be a weak area, because I have not studied that portion. Anyone with advice please let me know! I had no problem passing the NCLEX and was mostly all A student in FNP program. I'm ready to pass this test and put it all behind me. My life has been centered around passing this exam and failing is a huge set back.

I actually failed the AANP in February 2014... totally blown away that I was unsuccessful. I put the time and hours into the studying with no luck. I decided to go with the ANCC. I haven't taken it yet, but have concerns. I felt that I studied all of the wrong things with the AANP. If there are any ideas on where I should go to get examples of research questions, theories, etc., PLEASE chime in! I want this over with! =)

I am retesting for the agacnp with ancc. Can you offer any advise on your second exam? Did you see the same questions that were on your 1st exam or totally different questions. Very anxious! I sure don't want to go through this again. Thanks in advance
