Check it matches your exam
APEA’s predictor exams target the FNP exams from AANP (NPCB) and ANCC. If you’re taking ANCC’s FNP-BC on or after October 30, 2026, ask APEA whether its course and predictors reflect ANCC’s new outline, which puts 50 of 150 scored questions on Implementation. See our 2026 FNP exam changes.
Who should skip it, and alternatives
- You want self-paced study: Fitzgerald’s Online package is $449 for six months of on-demand video.
- You mostly want practice questions: UWorld’s 1,000+ question bank has a free 50-question trial, and Fitzgerald’s QBank is $179.
- You can’t attend a full course: APEA’s guarantee and contact hours require full attendance.
APEA FNP review verdict
APEA is the pick if you learn best from live teaching and want a guarantee that lets you repeat the course free. Its $60 Predictor Exam is also worth buying on its own as a realistic readiness check, whichever course you use. Compare it in Fitzgerald vs APEA and APEA vs UWorld.
