“I found this platform incredibly helpful. The bookmark feature, hints during practice tests, and well-structured flashcards make studying much more effective and less stressful. It’s especially great for managing test anxiety, as it guides you to think through questions clearly. I only wish I had this when preparing for my CEN exam. I would definitely recommend it to other nurses pursuing board certifications.”

What nurses are saying about BoardCerts
Reviews from nurses across our community (designation and platform shown when provided).

Brian David
NPD-BC
"Hi, my name is Brian. I used BoardCerts to prepare for the Nursing Professional Development Board certification (or the NPD-BC exam), and I'm excited to say that I passed on my first attempt. When I started preparing, one of my biggest challenges was figuring out exactly what I needed to focus on. There are so many different topics on the NPD-BC exam, from leadership and change theories to education, evidence-based practice, and professional development, and it can feel overwhelming trying to study everything, too. And I tried several different resources while preparing, including review courses and other practice question banks, but BoardCerts really stood out, because the questions helped me apply what I was learning instead of just memorizing information. The quality rationales also guided my remediation process and ultimately helped me understand the test content on another level. I found that the question level difficulty was also comparable to the actual exam, which helped ease some of my anxiety during the test. What I enjoyed most was being able to practice questions consistently, identify areas where I needed more review, and become more comfortable with how concepts could be presented on the exam. I also loved how there were several simulation exams to help me find my knowledge gaps which helped tailor my study sessions; and by the time I took my NPD-BC, I felt much more confident walking into the testing center. BoardCerts was definitely a valuable part of my preparation and I'd recommend it to anyone getting ready for their NPD-BC exam. Thank you."

Megan Viduya
CDCES
"Hi, my name is Megan. I'm a registered nurse and I'm a newly minted CDCES— that's a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist— and I can thank my passing score largely in part to BoardCerts. I found them really helpful during my study journey. A lot of really cool features on their website, the first being their simulation exam. So I took one simulation exam at the very beginning to just really get a baseline of knowledge that I was comfortable with and knowledge that I wasn't. So after taking that initial exam, I then referenced the question bank within the BoardCerts platform and was able to select topics that I was not comfortable with, so that I could get more exposure to said topics and really hone in my knowledge to then pass the exam. I really liked that you could turn on either tutor mode or exam mode. I really liked the tutor mode personally because it allowed me to get real-time feedback after answering each individual question, and it was also really cool that it had AI technology looped into it as well to then break down what you answered incorrectly and how you could study that topic further. I really appreciated the study plan option that BoardCerts recommended to plan out my week and best prepare for the exam. Overall, so thankful that I used BoardCerts, and they offer a lot of information and a lot of tools to help me succeed."
Kymm Ehler
NE-BC
"As I prepared to study for the NE-BC exam, my plan had been to use the exam break down and reference list from ANCC to create my own study guide. Yes, a very lofty goal! As I sat and pondered how I was going to tackle gathering all of the information, I decided that there was probably something out there to help me prepare. I did an internet search and found BoardCerts. After investigating and reading reviews, I decided BoardCerts was the best choice for me. BoardCerts provided questions for each of the categories covered on the NE-BC exam and also practice tests that compiled random questions from each of the categories. I appreciated the structured learning plan. I also liked seeing areas where I did well, and areas where I needed to learn more. It was easy to use and I actually looked forward to studying each night. My original plan had been to study for about 5 months and take the exam month 6. With the help of BoardCert, and my structured daily study plan, I was prepared to take the exam after about 8 weeks. Walking into the exam, although a nervous wreck, I felt prepared. I walked out a nervous wreck until I got in my car, checked my email, and found a "Congratulations, you passed!" waiting for me! BoardCert was definitely part of my success. I would recommend BoardCert as a study resource when preparing to take the NE-BC."

Diane OBerry
RN, BSN, CRRN
"Good morning, my name is Diane. I'm an RN with a bachelor's science degree in nursing. I was studying for the CRRN course and I was unable to find an online program that would help me to know if my study was effective. I had been using a textbook from the ARN and it just wasn't helping me to grasp the concepts that I need. I really appreciated that BoardCerts had answers for all of their questions, and the rationales really helped me to understand the thinking that I needed to have in order to be able to pass the CRRN. I took the CRRN in June, and I'm happy to say that I passed, and this will greatly help my future career and the other things that I'm looking forward to achieving in the future. I really appreciated board search and I know that it was helpful for me, and I hope it will be helpful for you."

Paul Kang
CHPN
"The challenge with any standardized test is knowing the structure of the exam and getting in tune with how the questions are supposed to be answered. While my company offered the CHPN study materials in very extensive videos per subject, much of it was superfluous information that I simply did not need. BoardCert's test bank taught me to approach the questions on principle rather than trying to retain obscure knowledge, and this was the key in my shortened preparation time of 3 months to the exam time of less than 2hrs. I was able to sort and classify easy, questionable, and hard questions into different banks and strengthen my area of weakness, while not wasting time on questions that I already knew."
