“I wanted to tell you that I used BoardVitals for my AANP certification. It was extremely helpful, and I would recommend your product to any advance practice nursing students to help prepare for boards. The questions were well written and provided a thorough explanation for the correct and incorrect answers. I passed the boards without difficulty. Thank you for a wonderful product to prepare for certification. ”

Information About the AANP Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) Certification Exam

The AANP offers a challenging Family Nurse Practitioner certification exam that tests primarily clinically based knowledge in emergency care in the role and population focus of the family/individual across the life span (prenatal, pediatric, adolescent, adult, elderly, and frail elderly primary care) and presents relatively complex scenarios.

What is covered on the AANP FNP Exam?

According to the AANPCB FNP & AGNP Certification Candidate Handbook, the exam covers the follow topics:

Assessment 27%

  • Obtain subjective patient information including but not limited to relevant medical history (including biopsychosocial, economic, environmental, family, military, travel, occupational, preventive components), chief complaint, history of present illness, and review of systems to determine health needs and problems
  • Obtain objective information based on patient age/developmental level, health history, and comorbidities to further define and evaluate health needs and problems

Diagnosis 26%

  • Formulate differential diagnoses
  • Establish definitive diagnoses

Plan 25%

  • Establish a safe plan of patient-centered treatment and care that is individualized, cost effective, consistent with best evidence, age appropriate, and culturally-sensitive in order to address the diagnoses

Evaluation 22%

  • Determine the effectiveness of the plan of treatment and care based on outcomes
  • Modify the plan of treatment and care as appropriate based on outcomes

How long is the AANP FNP Exam?

The exam is comprised of 150 questions. Of the 150 questions, 15 are pretest questions and do not affect the candidate's final score.

Candidates have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the format of test questions by taking practice examinations at PSI Exams online.

AANP FNP Board Review Tips

The AANP exam is a relatively tough exam with a FNP pass rate of 84%. After several years of study, to have approximately 19% of test takers fail is a fairly high hurdle. Taking AANP specific practice questions is the single best method of preparing for the exam. Not only do practice questions prepare you for the format of the 150 MCQ questions encountered on the exam - Nurse Practitioners who complete more questions do have a higher pass rate.

The feedback on the FNP AANP exam is to prepare well for female disorders, thyroid, and various skin conditions and disorders. While the ANCC is more focused on ethics questions and general knowledge, the AANP exam does focus more on medical topics. The BoardVitals AANP FNP question bank is very reflective of this content distribution and focuses on the AANP outline.

While the exam is difficult, using the Fitzgerald textbook in tandem with the BoardVitals question banks is an excellent way to prepare. Given the cost and time involved in having to re-take the exam, it is worth the time and effort to study upfront. While the AANP exam generally sticks to mainstream topics, there are a few esoteric concepts that you likely haven’t reviewed over the past couple of years.
