Passed the first time. Would recommend

Did I enjoy reading this book? No. Not a single second of it was fun, exhilarating, entertaining, or joyous. Did I pass my certification test? Yes, first attempt. That result was fun, exhilarating, entertaining, and joyous.

Content was great and helped me pass the AANP FNP exam, but the errors in this book were atrocious (that’s where it loses 2 stars). There are entire web pages dedicated to tracking the errors in this book. It’s like no one even read it over a single time to edit it. I read the chapters fully until chapter 9 and then after that only read the exam tips in each chapter which I found helpful for the exam. The app access that comes with this book is nice to track progress on practice questions. They need to do a way better job editing the next version of this book - I would have been even more annoyed if I had purchased this book, but luckily a friend loaned it to me.

I have the most current edition that is available and there are still errors. However, the content is in an easy to read and simplified format. I have skimmed other review books that made me question if I was getting enough information (*glares at Kaplan review book), but with this one I felt confident in the material.

The pictures are in black and white though there are color images available through the website. I would have loved to see a review book that had color images especially where color is important (ex: honey colored crusts for Impetigo) without having to log into a website.

Concise review of concepts for AANP FNP. Contains 720 questions, similar difficulty level as exam. Utilized this and the Hollier prep course for main study materials. Some errors found throughout book, hence 3 stars.

Passed the first time. This book and Hollier’s review were immensely helpful.

Typos and incorrect answers, along with an index that doesn't align is frustrating

[Kady Dennett · Rating 3 out of 5]

Did not finish. Great information, but nothing that is not in other review books. The way the information was presented just wasn’t congruent with my learning style.

This book is the bible for nurse practitioners!!! I definitely recommend getting this book and start reading it during adult/gerontology, pediatrics, women's health, and definitely primary care and family practice rotations!!! This book should be used as a resource during practicum or clinical rotations and MUST BE used when studying for boards!!!

Works by giving you a test and then reviewing the material in the answer section. Coverage of review material not as indepth...but overall a good study/practice book.
