Scheduling my (ANM) Assistant Nurse Manager Certification exam this week and trying to figure out what to actually bring vs what I'll be given.
Questions I have:
1. Do they provide scratch paper or is it on-screen only?
2. Are you allowed any breaks? The exam is 2 hours and I'm a slow reader
3. How strict is check-in? How early should I arrive?
4. Is a calculator provided or allowed?
I've been focused on studying "ANM" content but I realize I don't actually know what the test day experience is like. The official website is vague.
For those who took it recently — any surprises on exam day that you wish someone had warned you about? And did the difficulty feel similar to the practice tests or completely different?
If you're looking for a starting point, the free anm clinical operations patient care coordination is worth trying — the questions closely match what you'll see on test day.
Quick update for this thread: just cleared 79% on my most recent ANM practice set. The anm - assistant nurse manager human resource management questions and answers has been my main resource and the difficulty feels right — not easy enough to give false confidence, not so hard it's discouraging. Sitting for the real thing in 2 weeks.
Appreciate everyone sharing their experience here. I'm 5 weeks out from my ANM exam date and feeling more confident after reading this. The consensus on practice test being the hardest section matches what I'm seeing in my practice scores — going to put extra time there this week.
For anyone finding this later: ANM is passable with consistent effort even working full time. I studied 41 minutes a day for 8 weeks. The anm anm regulatory compliance and accreditation 3 kept me honest about my actual gaps.
Coming back to this thread — just passed my ANM yesterday. Everything about the anm practice test section is accurate. For anyone still studying, the anm anm regulatory compliance and accreditation 3 was the closest thing to the real exam I found.
