We’ve been there

Long shifts, late-night study sessions, juggling family, patients, and self-doubt — all while trying to prepare for one of the most important exams of your life. Every nurse practitioner on our team has walked that same road. We know how overwhelming it can feel to study for your boards after years of school, clinicals, and caring for others.

FAQ — Nurses Ask, We Answer

NPBoardPass offers customized study tools for:

  • Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP)
  • Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)
  • Adult-Gerontology Primary Care NP (AGPCNP)
  • Pediatric Primary Care NP (CPNP-PC)

All of our content is aligned with the latest exam blueprints, ensuring you review only what truly matters for your certification.

Yes — that’s one of the things we’re proudest of.

Every question is written and peer-reviewed by board-certified NPs and clinical educators who have taken and passed the same exams you’re preparing for.

Our items are designed to:

  • Reflect the same format, tone, and cognitive level as real board questions.
  • Mirror the timing, phrasing, and critical-thinking skills required by the AANP and ANCC exams.
  • Include rationales that teach, not just answers to memorize.

Many users tell us that when they sit for the actual test, the questions feel familiar — almost like déjà vu.

We offer three flexible options to fit your study goals and schedule:

Plan Type Access Duration Extras
Basic Plan 3 months Ideal for quick refreshers or retakes.
Pro Plan 6 months Extended access, progress tracking, and performance analytics.
Premium Plan 12 months Includes full Pass Guarantee, all mock exams, and live update features.

Need more time? You can always contact our support team to extend your plan or upgrade later — no need to repurchase.

Absolutely — and they’re written in clear, nurse-friendly language.

Each question comes with:

  • A step-by-step explanation of the correct answer.
  • A review of related pathophysiology, pharmacology, and patient management concepts.
  • References to current clinical guidelines (AANP, ANCC, USPSTF, CDC, APA, and more).

We don’t just tell you what’s right — we help you understand why it’s right, so you can apply that reasoning confidently on exam day and in real-world practice.

We’re nurses first, educators second, and tech innovators third — and that combination makes all the difference.

Here’s what sets us apart:

  • Human-centered design: Built around the busy life of nurses — flexible, mobile-friendly, and available 24/7.
  • Kind learning environment: No intimidation, no pressure — just support, guidance, and growth.
  • Evidence-based content: Every question and rationale is sourced from current practice standards.
  • Progress tracking: Instantly see your strengths and areas for review.
  • Community support: Learn alongside other future NPs through shared tips, encouragement, and success stories.

  • Sync progress automatically so you never lose your place.

Whether you’re at the nurses’ station, home, or on the go, your study tools move with you.

Yes. Nursing and clinical practice evolve quickly, and we make sure our content keeps pace.

Our team reviews and updates the question bank every quarter based on:

  • New AANP/ANCC exam blueprints
  • Guideline updates (CDC, ACOG, ADA, APA, USPSTF, etc.)
  • Feedback from recently certified NPs who’ve taken the exams.

That means when you study with NPBoardPass, you’re learning the most current, evidence-based material available.

Definitely.

  • If you’re a first-time test taker, we’ll guide you step-by-step with organized study plans, mock exams, and easy-to-follow rationales.
  • If you’re a repeat tester, NPBoardPass helps you analyze what went wrong last time and rebuild your confidence through practice and mastery.

Our content adapts to your pace and style — whether you need structured review or quick refreshers.

Yes! In addition to the self-paced prep platform, our Premium Plan includes access to optional live tutoring sessions and discussion groups led by experienced NPs.

We know that sometimes you just need to talk through a difficult concept or get reassurance from someone who’s been there — and we make that possible.

Because it was built for nurses like you.

Our users consistently report:

  • Feeling more confident and less anxious on exam day.
  • Improving scores by 20–30% on mock exams after completing our modules.
  • Gaining a deeper understanding of the “why” behind clinical decisions — not just memorizing facts.

We combine the heart of nursing education with the science of learning, giving you a realistic, supportive way to succeed.
