## Resource

If you're preparing for boards and wondering whether everyone else has it more figured out than you, you are not alone. In this episode, I sit down with NP instructor Caroline G to answer some of the most common NP board prep questions we hear from students every single week. We talk through the big decisions and stress points that come up during board prep, including choosing between AANP and ANCC, when to apply, when to test, how much to study, and whether you need multiple review resources. Caroline and I also discuss practice question scores, when to start practice exams, and what to do if your study plan gets off track.
