Board prep that respects the
clinician you've become.
You've already done the hard part at the bedside. FNP and AGNP boards test how you reason as a prescriber— diagnosis, differential, pharmacology, management. That's exactly what we drill, one realistic patient at a time, mapped to your exam's blueprint.
Free during open beta · no account needed to take the check
Practice the visit, not just the question.
Step into a real encounter with an AI standardized patient. Take the history, order the workup, commit to a diagnosis, choose the drug and the dose — then get a guideline-cited debrief that scores your clinical reasoning the way the boards do. It's the clinical-readiness rep a question bank simply can't give you.

Built for the exam you're actually taking
Engineered for advanced practice.
A proven engine, content and reasoning pitched at the prescriber level — diagnosis, pharmacology, and management, scored to your board's blueprint.
A virtual patient to practice on — no other board prep has this
Step into a live encounter with an AI standardized patient: take the history, order the workup, commit to a diagnosis, choose the drug and dose — then get a guideline-cited debrief on your clinical reasoning. The readiness rep a question bank can't give you.
Case-driven, like the boards
Vignettes that move from presentation to differential to management — the clinical reasoning your certification exam actually measures, not recall drills.
Pharmacology-heavy, prescriber-level
Drug selection, dosing, monitoring, and interactions across the lifespan — written for someone about to hold a prescription pad, not memorize a med-surg chapter.
Diagnosis & management
Recognize, work up, treat, and follow up — the full clinical arc, scored against the blueprint domain it lives in so you see readiness by section.
Flo, at prescriber level
The same AI tutor, tuned for advanced practice: differential reasoning, prescribing rationale, and your weak domains — peer-to-peer, never beginner.
You're in good company.
RN-to-NP, direct-entry, or second career. The boards don't care how you reached advanced practice — and neither do we. We meet you exactly where you are and walk you to the same place: certified.
Choose your certification
AANP or ANCC — your blueprint, exactly.
The two bodies test different ground. Pick your target and the question mix + mock exams compose to that blueprint — so your readiness reflects the exam you're sitting, not an average.
Clinically focused
Purely clinical — assessment, diagnosis, planning, and evaluation across the lifespan.
Clinical + professional role
Clinical plus the non-clinical: research, theory, and professional role, policy & practice.
Blueprint domains + weightings are kept current against each body's published test plan and update without an app change. FNP first; AGNP rolling out alongside it.
Why trust it
Built by seasoned clinicians.
Every vignette is original and clinician-written — never reproduced from a real exam — and written to the standard your certification actually scores. Our calibrated-readiness engine tells you, honestly, how ready you are by blueprint domain.
Clinician-verified, never AI-spun
Every item written and reviewed by clinicians and guideline-cited — not generated by a chatbot that hallucinates, and never harvested from a real exam.
Blueprint-accurate mocks
Full forms composed to your AANP or ANCC weightings.
Calibrated readiness
A pass-probability you can audit against your own performance — not a vanity score.
The day they pin NP on your coat.
We prep you for more than the exam. From your first prescription to your first 90 days on a panel, FirstPass NP already knows the prescriber you're about to be — so passing boards is the start, not the finish line.
Prep like the prescriber you're about to be.
Free during open beta. No card, no fluff — just the clinical reasoning that passes boards.
Start freeCommon questions
AANP vs ANCC — which FNP exam should I take?+
Both certify you as an FNP and are accepted for licensure everywhere. The AANP FNP-C is purely clinical (assessment, diagnosis, planning, evaluation) and is scored 200–800. The ANCC FNP-BC adds non-clinical content — professional role, research/theory, and health policy — and is pass/fail with some alternate item formats. Pick AANP if you want a strictly clinical exam; pick ANCC if the non-clinical content plays to your strengths. FirstPass NP prepares you for either, mapped to that body's current blueprint.
How many practice questions does FirstPass NP have?+
Over a thousand original, prescriber-level questions across the AANP and ANCC blueprints — plus full-length mock exams, a virtual-patient simulator, flashcards, and a guideline-cited quick reference. Every item is written from the blueprint and current guidelines, never copied from a real exam.
Is FirstPass NP free?+
Yes — every feature is free during the open beta, no credit card required.
What's the FNP-C / FNP-BC pass rate, and can FirstPass predict mine?+
First-attempt pass rates for the FNP exams run high (commonly reported in the mid-80s percent), but a meaningful share don't pass the first time — and a retake costs time and money. The FirstPass NP Readiness Predictor gives you a calibrated, honest first-attempt pass probability before you sit, so you know where you stand rather than guessing.
Is the content current to the latest blueprints and guidelines?+
Yes. Questions and rationales are mapped to each body's current published test plan and anchored to current national guidelines, and every clinical claim cites the guideline it rests on.
