The Only NP Platform That Covers You From Year One Through Boards
Most NP review courses hand you a question bank and call it board prep. NPReady does something different: adaptive in-program practice for patho, pharm, and physical exam during your program, then adaptive board prep mapped to your certification blueprint when you're ready. One subscription. One methodology. ACNP, FNP, and PMHNP.
NP Students Have Two Problems. Most Platforms Solve One.
NP school is two distinct phases. Most tools only help with one.
Patho, Pharm & Physical Exam
Your professors are testing you on pathophysiology mechanisms, drug mechanisms and dosing, and physical exam findings. Generic question banks don't align to this content. Most board prep platforms don't touch it at all. NPReady has 3,000+ questions in 54 categories built to this coursework — adaptive, Bloom's-leveled, starting where you're weakest.
Board Certification Prep
Your certification exam is mapped to a specific content blueprint — ANCC, AACN, or AANPCB depending on your specialty. Every question must be mapped to that blueprint, at the Bloom's taxonomy level the board actually tests. NPReady has 700+ questions per specialty mapped to your exam, verified against current clinical practice guidelines, adaptive to your domain gaps.
NPReady covers both phases. One subscription.
What's in NPReady
In-Program Practice Bank (3,000+ questions)
Patho, pharm, and physical exam — 54 categories aligned to NP coursework. Adaptive: weakest categories served first. Bloom's progression unlocks harder questions as you master each area. Questions are written to clinical practice guidelines, not just textbook chapter summaries. Every wrong option is explained individually.
Board Certification Prep (700+ questions per specialty)
Adaptive exam prep mapped to your board's published content blueprint — ANCC AGACNP-BC and AACN ACNPC-AG for ACNP, ANCC FNP-BC and AANPCB FNP-C for FNP, ANCC PMHNP-BC for PMHNP. Free 25-question diagnostic before you buy. Personalized study plan updates after every session.
Andy — AI Tutorbot
Ask questions about any topic, get back explanations written in Paul Logan's clinical teaching voice — direct, precise, grounded in current guidelines. Not a generic chatbot. A tutorbot built specifically for NP students, trained on the same content as the question bank.
Adaptive Engine + Domain Mastery Tracking
The system tracks your performance across every blueprint domain and every in-program category. Questions are selected based on your current mastery tier — Developing, Competent, Proficient, or Expert — and your Bloom's taxonomy level. You never study what you already know. You always work on what will move your score.
CPG-Verified Content
Every pharmacology and treatment question is verified against current clinical practice guidelines — the same guidelines the ANCC, AACN, and AANPCB use to build their exams. Not last year's textbook. Not a content vendor's generic bank. Written by a practicing cardiology ACNP and verified question by question against published guideline recommendations.
Simple Pricing
One price covers your specialty — ACNP, FNP, or PMHNP. You choose after purchase.
Barkley Review, Fitzgerald, and APEA charge $499–$699 for board prep alone — and only cover one specialty. NPReady covers both phases of your training at a lower price.

PsychReady Add-on
PMHNPPsychopharmacology (11 categories, Stahl's-based) and psychopathology (10 categories, DSM-5-TR). PMHNP students need this content — it's a separate add-on so ACNP and FNP students don't pay for content they won't use.
All prices are one-time payments — no recurring charges. Questions? See FAQ.

How NPReady Fits Your Program
In-Program Practice
Start with the patho and pharm your professors are testing this semester. The adaptive engine finds your weakest categories and serves those first. Master each topic before your exam — not after. 54 categories across pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical exam.
Clinical Reasoning Built
NPReady questions are framed as patient scenarios — the same format as board exams. By the end of year two, you've answered hundreds of clinical reasoning questions and built the skill before boards demand it. The shift to board prep is seamless.
Board Blueprint Prep
Take the free 25-question diagnostic. It maps your performance across every domain of your certification blueprint. The adaptive engine closes those gaps systematically — domain by domain — before exam day. Study plan updates after every session.
Certified
You sit for boards having built clinical reasoning over two years, not two months of cramming. The scenario format is familiar. The content is current. The gaps are closed. The exam is a confirmation of what you already know, not a surprise.
Built by a Practicing Clinician-Educator
Paul Logan, PhD, CRNP graduated from Penn's ACNP program in 1994 — one of the first acute care nurse practitioners in the country. He's been in active clinical practice in cardiology ever since, currently at WellSpan Cardiology.
The questions in NPReady 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. Every question is independently written to ANCC, AACN, and AANPCB blueprints. Every pharmacology and treatment question is verified against current clinical practice guidelines. No content vendors. No textbook summaries repackaged as questions.
Start With the Free Diagnostic
25 questions. No account required. Identifies your weakest board blueprint domains in about 15 minutes. See exactly where you stand before you spend anything.
