Adult & Family NP Cert. Exam Review Q's:

I found the book to be helpful, although after taking the exam I thought that it was harder than the exam! The CD with questions was very helpful. There were some discrepancies between the book and the CD.

I just passed my ANCC today and here are some books I wish I had in school. The following helped me to pass the ANCC because they are most like the test.

I can't believe that this book was published:

This review book had too many wrong items. The questions are way too detailed and caused undue stress with its practice tests.
