NP Board Certification Exam Prep That Targets What You Don't Know
CertReady starts with a diagnostic exam that maps your strengths and weaknesses across every blueprint domain — then focuses your practice on the areas where you're weakest. 3,700+ questions verified against current clinical practice guidelines (CPGs), written to the Bloom's taxonomy level the boards actually test. Built by an expert clinician-educator who still sees patients and still teaches NP students.
CertReady — Study What You Don't Know.
NP Board Certification Prep — Three Specialties
CertReady starts with a free 25-question diagnostic that maps your performance across every blueprint domain. Then it builds a personalized study plan targeting your weakest areas first — not a fixed question sequence that wastes time on what you already know.
Every question is written to the Bloom's taxonomy level appropriate for certification exams. Every pharmacology and treatment question is verified against current clinical practice guidelines — ACC/AHA, ADA, APA, IDSA. Every answer includes a detailed rationale explaining both why the correct answer is right and why the distractors are wrong.
Specialties available now: AG-ACNP (ANCC AGACNP-BC + AACN ACNPC-AG) · FNP (AANPCB FNP-C + ANCC FNP-BC) · PMHNP (ANCC PMHNP-BC)
Available in time for the fall semester: CourseReady + NPReady
CourseReady is adaptive quizzing for pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical exam reasoning — built for NP students who are still in the program. NPReady bundles CourseReady and CertReady into one platform covering you from year one through boards. Both launch July 1, 2026.
Why CertReady Is Different
Diagnostic-First Adaptive Engine
CertReady doesn't hand you a random question bank. It starts with a diagnostic that maps your performance across every blueprint domain, then selects questions at your current Bloom's taxonomy level — advancing as you demonstrate mastery. You study what you don't know, not what you've already mastered.
Evidence-Based, CPG-Verified Questions
Every pharmacology and treatment question is verified against current clinical practice guidelines — not last year's textbook. When the ACC/AHA updates a heart failure recommendation or the ADA revises a diabetes threshold, the question bank reflects it. Your board prep should teach current clinical practice.

Built by an Expert Clinician-Educator
CertReady was built by Paul Logan, PhD, CRNP — one of the first ACNPs in the country (Penn, 1994), with 30 years of active clinical practice in cardiology. He is not the professor who hasn't touched a patient in 20 years. He maintains an active practice at WellSpan Cardiology while directing the AG-ACNP program at Saint Joseph's University.
Who CertReady Is For
Built by an Expert Clinician-Educator
Paul Logan, PhD, CRNP — Founder
AG-ACNP Program Director, Saint Joseph's University • Active Clinical Practice, WellSpan Cardiology
Paul Logan graduated from Penn's ACNP program in 1994 — among the first acute care nurse practitioners in the country. Thirty years later, he still practices cardiology at WellSpan and directs the AG-ACNP program at Saint Joseph's University.
That combination matters. The questions in CertReady come from someone who teaches NP students what they need for boards and sees firsthand what new NPs and PAs get wrong in their first clinical role. Not from a content team assembling questions from textbook summaries. The expert clinician-educator difference shows in the clinical accuracy, the blueprint alignment, and the rigor of the rationales.
Every question is built and reviewed against a published psychometric standard, the same framework used to develop certification exams. See our methodology ›
