I promised myself that I would post my experience with UWorld for the ANCC FNP (family nurse practitioner) exam after I took my boards- so here it goes. I did not find many reviews of the UWorld FNP question bank prior to purchasing it. However, I LOVED UWorld for NCLEX so I decided to give it a try for the FNP exam. I have to say..... I 100% recommend it! While the questions are (very) hard and (very) long (almost 3-4 sentences per question)- the rationales make up for it. I felt so prepared going into my exam. I studied UWorld questions (roughly 50/day and then 100/day for 3 days before the exam) for 3 weeks and I felt confident going into my exam. I took boards 5/5/2023.
Honestly, it is much more than a question bank. I read every rationale- and by the end- it felt like I had participated in a comprehensive review. Although the price for the question bank is a little more expensive than others, again, you will NOT need a review course if you decide to do UWorld because the rationales are THAT good so it makes up for it.
I would also like to note that I studied Leik throughout my NP Program. I did two Leik exams during my 3-week study period, but I really did not like the questions as they are very broad and non-specific. Though the questions on the actual exam were much shorter and straightforward than UWorld, I found it easier to select the correct answer because I was so used to the long, difficult questions on UWorld.
If you are considering UWorld for your FNP exam.... DO IT! Skip the $600 reviews!
