APEA 3P Exam
The 3P examination is a competency-based exam that tests clinical knowledge in the three core courses: advanced pathophysiology, advanced pharmacotherapeutics, and advanced physical assessment. Exam questions cover content across each body system and age continuum for all NP tracks. This exam is administered after the core courses have been completed and is used as an assessment tool to determine clinical readiness. Exam results identify any knowledge deficits. These results assist students in creating an appropriate study plan for improving knowledge deficits.
Is the APEA 3P Exam Proctored?
APEA university exams may be administered using secure testing and proctoring arrangements. Students should confirm the specific proctoring requirements, testing procedures, and scheduling instructions with their nursing program or institution before exam day.
