"I purchased a 3 month subscription of Board Vitals and a 12 month subscription of Med Challenger and this is what I found...

I found right off the bat that there was a large price discrepancy.

Board Vitals 3 month subscription was comparable to a 12 month subscription on Med-Challenger. I will say up front that I did purchase both when they were offering discounts. Board Vitals also charged an extra $99+ for CMEs vs Med Challenger which included these with your 12 month subscription.

Med Challenger also offers close to 1000+ more NP questions than Board Vitals does. Med Challenger also offers a low cost renewal option but if you wish to renew at Board Vitals you need re-buy at full price.

You are probably wondering why anyone would want to use a board review program other than to study for boards but Nurse Practitioners are required to submit CMEs in order to keep their licenses current.

In addition to the things mentioned, Med Challenger offers a colorful website that is divided by four main tabs. These include a Study tab where you can build custom exams, simulate the exam and study by topic. An Earn tab where you can earn, find and claim CME credits. A Play tab where you can compete with other participants using the site. And lastly, an Explore tab which keeps you up to date on new guidelines and information relating to medicine.

They both offer 100% pass guarantees but with over 210 ANCC CNE credits and 45.7 ANCC pharmacotherapy contact hours included at a much lower price point, along with a friendlier more colorful experience I feel that Med-Challenger is the clear winner.

Lastly, I had an opportunity to interact with customer support staff at Med Challenger and I found them to be extremely friendly and accommodating. They made me feel that my learning and satisfaction was number one on their minds."
