Master the Three Ps. Before They Haunt You at Boards.
Patho, pharm, and physical exam — the three courses NP students fear most, and where the clinical reasoning gaps that sink board exams are built. CourseReady is adaptive quizzing built from the same textbooks your professors assign, organized for how your program actually teaches.
Launching July 1, 2026. ACNP & FNP: $150. PMHNP: $250 (includes psychopharm + psychopath).
CourseReady launches July 1, 2026 — built for incoming NP cohorts starting the three Ps.
The Problem with How NPs Prep for the Three Ps
Static question banks don't match your program
Most NP question banks are assembled from generic content — not from the textbooks your professors actually assign. When you get a question wrong, the rationale doesn't send you back to what you're studying.
Pharmacology questions are often outdated
Clinical practice guidelines change. Drug class recommendations shift. Most question banks don't track CPG updates — you can memorize a wrong answer and not know it until boards.
No adaptive logic for course-level content
The only other mid-program patho/pharm product (Sarah Michelle's 3P's QBank, $29/month) has no adaptive engine. You get static questions in a fixed sequence regardless of what you already know.
CourseReady: The Top-10% Solution
Textbook-Sourced
Questions are built from McCance & Huether (patho), Arcangelo (pharm), Stahl's (psychopharm), and Bickley (physical exam) — the exact textbooks most NP programs assign. Rationales reference the same source your professor uses.
CPG-Vetted Pharmacology
Every pharmacology question is verified against current ACC/AHA, ADA, APA, IDSA, and CDC clinical practice guidelines. No competitor does this at the course prep level. You learn what's actually current — not what was current five years ago.
Category Mastery Engine
The adaptive engine ranks your weakest categories and serves those first. Within each category, questions progress from foundational to clinical scenario to complex analysis. You unlock harder questions only after demonstrating mastery at each level.
Rationale Quality Standard
Every rationale explains why the correct answer is right AND why each wrong answer is wrong — with the source cited. Wrong answers become learning moments, not just score deductions.
54 Categories — The Three Ps, Built for How NP Programs Actually Teach
Categories are organized by clinical topic, not organ system — the way your professor structures each exam unit. PMHNP students get 21 additional categories covering psychopharmacology and psychopathology.
Pathophysiology — 20 categories
- Cell injury, inflammation, and immunity
- Genetics and cancer biology
- Fluid, electrolytes, and acid-base
- CAD and ACS
- Heart failure
- Hypertension
- Arrhythmias and conduction
- VTE and peripheral vascular disease
- Pulmonary: obstructive (COPD, asthma)
- Pulmonary: infectious and restrictive
- AKI and CKD
- GI disorders
- Hepatic disorders
- Diabetes mellitus
- Thyroid and adrenal disorders
- Stroke and TIA
- Neurodegenerative disorders
- Seizures and epilepsy
- Hematologic disorders
- Sepsis, shock, and critical illness
Pharmacology — 19 categories
- Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
- Antihypertensives
- Diuretics
- Heart failure agents
- Antiarrhythmics
- Anticoagulants and antiplatelets
- Lipid-lowering agents
- Antibiotics
- Antifungals, antivirals, and antiparasitics
- Pulmonary agents
- Diabetes pharmacotherapy
- Thyroid agents
- Corticosteroids
- GI pharmacotherapy
- Anticonvulsants and migraine agents
- NSAIDs
- DMARDs and gout agents
- Pain and opioid pharmacotherapy
- Hematologic and renal agents
Physical Exam — 15 categories
Reasoning from findings — not technique. What findings mean, differential diagnosis, and clinical significance.
- Vital signs: interpretation and significance
- General appearance, nutrition, and HEENT
- Cardiac: auscultation, murmurs, heart sounds
- Peripheral vascular: pulses, edema, ABI
- Pulmonary: breath sounds and work of breathing
- Abdominal exam
- Musculoskeletal: joints, strength, and gait
- Neurological: reflexes, sensation, coordination
- Skin, hair, and nails
- Lymph nodes and thyroid
- Mental status exam and cognition
- Eye and ear exam
- Genitourinary and rectal (FNP)
- Breast and gynecologic (FNP)
- Pediatric and developmental (FNP)

The Direct Bridge from Coursework to Boards
CourseReady questions above foundational level are all framed as patient scenarios — the same format CertReady uses for board prep. Students who master CourseReady categories enter board prep with clinical reasoning skills already built. They're not building them from scratch while also learning board-specific content.
Used CourseReady? Your clinical foundation is already built. CertReady finds your board gaps.
