3.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre, July 21, 2001

This review is from: Adult and Family Nurse Practitioner Certification Examination: Review Questions and Strategies (Book with Diskette) (Paperback)

I bought this review mostly for the computer practice disk that came with the study guide. Before my FNP exam I would have rated this book a 4-5 star but now that I have taken the exam I rate it more poorly. The study guide questions offer a lot of "all of the above" for an answer choices but the exam did not have a single one. Also the guide had a lot of questions regarding percentages and again there were none on my exam. However, the guide did give some tips on test taking that were beneficial and did bring some areas of attention that I needed to practice more on.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of questions, but....., August 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Adult and Family Nurse Practitioner Certification Examination: Review Questions and Strategies (Book with Diskette) (Paperback)

I question some of the answers that are given - is there a website for corrections? I research answers I feel are incorrect in Harrison's or in the 2000 Current, and then am not sure I can trust other answers to learn from since I have found several incorrect or NOT QUITE correct answers.

3.0 out of 5 stars Thorough but discouraging, October 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Adult and Family Nurse Practitioner Certification Examination: Review Questions and Strategies (Book with Diskette) (Paperback)

I obtained a copy of the book from a former classmate. The sections are divided to focus on specific areas of need. The volume of practice questions in text and disk is great, BUT, I found most questions far more difficult than what was on the actual exam (in my case, I took the AANP version today). The practice questions may be very discouraging to some as I found it to be, however, try to remember that the exam may not be as indepth. Do take a review course or order review cassette tapes. I recommend the Advance Practice Education Associates (APEA) review by Amelie Hollier who is a likable, encouraging, excellent speaker who tells you what you need to know with memorable stories. Note: I am not affiliated with the company nor am I being coerced to sharing this. The Fitzgerald review course does not cover many conditions but what it does cover may be more indepth than is necessary for the exam. Good Luck to ALL!
