Evolve Reach


Evolve Reach - Powered by HESI also offers exams for Advanced Practice Nursing that are designed to measure the student's readiness for Master's level certification exams. These exams all undergo the same test item and exam design process as the undergraduate exams, but test the advanced skills necessary for advanced nursing degrees.

Each Advanced Practice Nursing Exam matches the latest certification exam blueprint and consists of 100 scored items and 10 pilot items.

Exams Available:
Family Nurse Practitioner
Adult Nurse Practitioner
Nursing Administration (pilot phase)

Prepare your top-tier students for review and testing with the best - and only - product in the market. We understand the realities of nursing education programs. That's why Evolve Reach exams are designed to provide:

  • Ease of use - computerized exams facilitate both speed and accuracy of test results
  • Practicality - all test items are written by actual nurse practitioners, both clinicians and faculty members, for students at the graduate level
  • Comprehensiveness - exams cover the entire curriculum in the subject area and are based on the competencies that have been defined for nurse practitioners (e.g., AANP, ANCC, and NONPF competencies)
  • Focus - scoring categories reflect the specialty areas tested in addition to the ANCC Domains of Practice for the certification exams in each of these content areas
  • Standards - each Advanced Practice Nursing exam reflects the exam blueprints from the recognized certification exams (such as the ANCC and AAP) and the related NONPF competencies in each specialty area
  • Reliability - testing instruments are designed to measure student readiness for Master's level certification exams
Elsevier is looking for nursing schools that want to help develop other Advanced Practice Nursing exams. Would your faculty like to partner with us to develop a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner exam, among others?
