Temple Univ., Philadelphia, PA. Exam review contains 1,750 questions, with answers and rationales, plus two sample exams of 150 questions each. Also includes a free CD-ROM with 450 questions, additional 225 from those in the book. Softcover.

Best Resource for Studying for the Certification Exam.

I've used this book twice as a study aid for the certification exam. I thought it was very useful the first time I took the test.

I now had to re-certify by exam (5 years later) and decided to use this book (and the CD) as my primary resource, and boy did that strategy pay off. The language (unlike other resources I used) is similar to that used on the exam, and the random mix of questions was also similar, so I was able to identify my areas of weakness.

It helps to take sample exams repeatedly to build up the mental stamina required for the actual test.

All in all, I would highly recommend this book for potential certification exam candidates.

A must-have for the ACNP candidate

This review book reminds me of the NCLEX reviews. It is concise, divides the questions into the key content areas and provides answers with the rationale.

Of particular help is the second chapter "Test-taking skills and designing your study plan". Here the authors give you seven strategies for test-taking. Included are the points "Understanding and analyzing the anatomy of a test question" and the ever helpful "Selecting the best answer when you do not know the answer". There is an analysis of learning styles and an example schedule for preparation.

This review has been very helpful in lowering my test anxiety while in school. Too bad Amazon won't package it with Gawlinski and Hamwi at a reduced price ;-) ;-) This one really complements G&H. I can't give it 5 stars until I take the certification exam!

This is a tough ACNP exam review book

I heard a lot of feedback from my classmates and professors about the toughness of this book. I used it for my ACNP exam preparation, and without a doubt, it is a tough book. However, this book make me realize the weakness areas of my knowledge base, so that I can focus on those area during the exam preapration. I feel more comfortable to take the exam after I utilized this book. I am so glad I passed my exam at the first time.
