I Passed BOTH FNP Board Exams (AANP & ANCC) — Every Resource I Used, Ranked #FNPboards #AANP #ANCC

I passed BOTH the AANP AND the ANCC FNP board exams. Most people only take one. I'm breaking down every single resource I used, what was worth it, what I'd skip, and what I wish I found sooner. I'm not a perfect test taker. I blank out and I overthink everything. I studied 12 to 18 hours a day for 3 months straight and burned out hard. But I passed both. And I'm telling you everything. If you're an auditory learner, an overthinker, or you have no idea where to start — this video is specifically for you.

Perfect for auditory learners — highlight the text and use iPhone speak feature to listen. Do ALL questions by section and track your proficiency score as provided by the online Leik question bank. 💰 Best budget pick Leik — if you can only buy one resource buy this one. Link: https://a.co/d/0hqbHbJn ⚠️ FNP MASTERY — Situational Questions can feel overwhelming and overly detailed. But the rationales are strong — they bold keywords and have short explanation videos. Great community feature where you can ask questions directly. Good for some people — just was not my primary resource. Link: https://hltmastery.com/nursing/fnp ✅ SARAH MICHELLE FULL COURSE BUNDLE — My #1 Pick Get the FULL bundle — crash course, pharmacology AND diagnosis videos. Do not just get crash course alone as there is content in the other videos not covered there. Short, visual, zero fluff. I watched everything five times on a one-month subscription. Do ALL the questions and read ALL the rationales — even the ones you got right. Link: https://www.npreviews.com/exam-prep/f... ✅ LATRINA WALDEN LIVE RECORDED VIDEOS — Highly Recommend crash course videos and live recorded videos are great. Note Crash Course Videos were very similar as SARAH MICHELLE but Latrina Walden's lecture style is different which I really enjoyed. — Live recorded sessions. About 16 hours total. Her energy and the way she emphasizes certain words will literally pop into your head during the actual exam. I watched these three times and finished two days before each exam. Side note: if Latrina Walden has something similar like the full course bundle that Sarah Michelle had I would have thoroughly enjoyed listening to her lectures Link: https://shop.latrinawaldenexamsolutio... ❌ FITZGERALD — Would Skip Watched religiously for two weeks and did not absorb the information. Way too detailed for what the boards actually test. Great information for real clinical practice — not for passing the exam. Depends on your learning style but personally I would skip it entirely. Side note: This was provided by the school so I'm not sure what bundle they provided Link: https://www.fhea.com/?utm_campaign=Br... 💡 KEY THINGS I LEARNED ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ → The AANP and ANCC are NOT trick questions like the NCLEX. You just need to understand the material — not memorize it. → If you are an auditory learner — highlight text and use your phone speak feature. Game changer. → Read ALL rationales even when you get the question right. → You know the material more than you think. Trust yourself. → You do not need to know every single detail — just the key material. Make the pasta. Buy the Prego sauce. Watch the video to understand what that means 😂 💰 BUDGET TIP ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ If you can only afford ONE resource — get the Leik Book. It has reading material AND questions for every section. That is all you need. 🔔 NEXT VIDEO ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ AANP vs ANCC — a full honest comparison from someone who took and passed BOTH. Which one should you take?
