Members are discussing their experiences with using UWorld for the ANCC FNP exam, with many praising the question bank for its challenging questions and thorough rationales. Some members found UWorld more beneficial than other review materials like Leik or ROSH Review. Overall, members felt confident and well-prepared for the exam after using UWorld, with some achieving significant score improvements through consistent practice.
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!
I passed my ANCC exam ! it was not as difficult as I thought it would be U-world really helped with practice questions and rationales I only had 1 picture of a rash no EKG an all my questions were multiple choice
The Hollier review was most definitely helpful I went to the love review as well watched the online review it was included with my NP Program it heloed make things easier to understand and how to remeber the important topics to focus on
Definitely recommend! I started with UWorld scoring ins the mid to low 70s and was scoring in the mid 80%s before my exam. The questions are amazing and the rationals are so good. The questions on the actual board exam were much shorter and more direct, but they were easy to answer because of the practice I had from these UWorld questions. Just took my ANCC boards and passed yesterday!
