The BEST Review tool!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I bought 6 different review books. I rate this one as the BEST just because of the CD with the practice tests, these practice tests where very close to what the real test was like. I just took the AANP exam today and passed! This book is a MUST have. I found some of the questions from this book on the actual test. Excellent resource.
Passed AANP in 98% with this book

I used the CD with this book to prepare for the boards. I don't know if the book has been revised since some of the reviewers noticing errors, but I didn't find any. I used the CD the most to prepare for the AANP FNP test, and also listened to Margaret Fitzgerald CDs. The test questions were extremely helpful as after you take the test you can see the answers and justifications. Some of the questions on the test seemed very similar. It also gets you into the mode of taking a test on the computer, which if you haven't been practicing can take some adjustment. You also can see how long it takes you to complete the test questions if speed is a concern for you. I scored in the 98% for my test (in June, 2008) so I think the cost of the book and CD was well worth it!
Great Book!

I bought 2 books before buying this book. And this book I thought was the most helpful. It had excellent questions. The diabetes questions and others in the book helped me be prepared to pass the exam over the other two books I bought.
Thorough, easy to read,

Overall, a very thorough, excellent resource for cert. prep. The answers and rationales section provided me with an opportunity to assimilate and recall needed review information without bogging me down. This review book, along with a review course assisted me to pass my FNP exam.
Excellent review book with up to date information

I have the 1999 edition of this review book. Every topic is fully covered, and the rationales are all a paragraph long with great explanations. The information in the book is up to date and current. There are tons and tons of difficult and challenging questions. Topics covered are growth and development, health promotion, all the body systems, emergencies, research and theory, and lots more. I would suggest this book for any FNP candidate.
