The test is going to say something like “at the right sternal border in the second intercostal space.” So learn that instead. For example, she repeatedly talks about where you might hear certain murmurs and will state you hear a murmur at the “mitral listening point” or “aortic listening point.” So some of her questions were, “where would you hear an aortic murmur?” and the answer is “ At the aortic listening point!” Well, duh!! But that still doesn’t tell me where it is and that is certainly not going to be how it’s worded on the test. ![]() And they were worded in the way Amelie Hollier speaks, rather than how the test will word them. They were somewhat helpful although one main criticism I have is that out of all the practice questions I used they were least like the actual exam. I was worried that I might get kicked out of a video or have technical trouble and it might use up one of my two times I get to view it.Īfter listening to all the lectures, you are allowed access to two practice quizzes that are about 75 questions each. In hindsight, I really didn’t feel the need to go through more than 2 times but I still wanted the option. The video option only allows you to view the videos twice. The other reason I chose the audio option was because you have access for a full year and can listen to it as much as you want. I assumed most pictures you would want to see would be in the study guide and I think they were. I was debating between the video and audio options and ultimately decided that I didn’t think the video would be totally necessary, since you can print off the study guide. The alternative choices were several on-demand options: video, audio, or MP3 player. However, due to COVID-19 the live review course was not being offered at the time. I liked the idea of going to a live 3-day review with other students, like myself, to study and cram for the exam. The Live review course was strongly recommended to me by one of my preceptors who had used it herself. ![]() The Leik book had also been recommended to me but, again, when I tried to pick up a book to study I lost motivation. Below is my experience with each of these resources. Then I heard about Sarah Michelle’s review courses and debated between the two for a while. The review courses by Amelie Hollier had come recommended to me by a couple preceptors. I felt somewhat underprepared by my online education that I felt I needed to start with more of an overview. However, it was so dense and overwhelming I didn’t make it through the first section. ![]() I first attempted to study on Christmas break with a book I bought from Kaplan. I mean I had been jumping through hoops in school for two and a half years and it was summertime. And even after graduation I found it difficult to get the motivation to study. I didn’t really start studying for the Nurse Practitioner board exam until after graduation.
