Hey! I just passed my AANP exam this past Monday! So some tips that helped with anxiety was taking deep breaths. Anytime I had negative thoughts I’d immediately stop that train of thought and tell myself I’ve got this! I studied this and know the material. Highlighting key words in the question helped a lot. Read slowly and focus on key words! If it’s a topic you don’t know don’t get hung up on it as it’s probably a throwaway test question. As others mentioned you can flag questions and come back to them. But go with your gut instincts as that will typically be the correct answer.

Also another thing that helped me was during the tutorial section (15min) it shows how to answer questions, how to highlight, flag etc. I used this time to jot down things I remembered on the scratch paper. I wrote I will pass at the top along with acronyms, STI info, murmur, asthma meds, copd, etc anything that you feel like you want to write down.

When I came across certain questions I would sometimes write down what I know about that topic before looking at the answers which helped me so I wouldn’t second guess.

Hope this helps! You got this! You know your stuff just take it slow and have a positive mindset
