Customer Reviews

GREAT BOOK ! - This Book Helped Me Pass My FNP Exam

This book helped me pass my FNP exam. I found out about this book from several classmates who also used this book and passed. Two of my classmates (who also took her review course) said that Maria told them that the current book is the 2nd printing (apparently the first batch sold out!) and to pass the word that the errors have been corrected. They loved her review course too [...]. The book gives you really specific tips on the questions to expect on the test (and yes, they really did show up).I think NP students in their first year may also find this book helpful because it explains things really well. I highly recommend this review book.

Excellent Resource

I PASSED the AANP exam! Excellent resource to study for the FNP exam. I also recommend taking her live review course, it is complete and to the point. She has had 100% pass in most of her classes ( n p r e v i e w. c o m). If you can't make it to her review I also recommend for you to get the Fitzgerald review and her Audio CDs. Make sure you study for at least a couple of months before the test. Good Luck!

GREAT REVIEWER FOR NP BOARDS

I just passed my NP boards today (Sept.18,2007)!!!! :) and I recommend this review book greatly. Simple, but very,very well focused on basically the exam contents.

An AWESOME review book

Maria Leik's book, just published in July 2007 is AWESOME. I love it !!! The content is concise and helps the NP student focus on the important areas of knowledge required for passing the exam. Maria includes study tips and exam tips, all of which help to analyze the questions and to choose the correct answer. The layout of the content in system reviews makes it easy to read and to study from. The 500 practice questions are extremely helpful too. I studied from Maria's book for 2 weeks before taking the exam in August....and passed. It made me feel confident and I know it helped me pass the exam !!!!! Thanks Maria, your book is "THE BEST".
