Built on the science of memory
Turns out memory palaces are real. Your brain remembers stories and scenes far better than facts. Textbooks didn't get the memo. Sketchy did.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Sketchy NP help me pass my board certification exam?

Sketchy NP is designed to support nurse practitioner students from their first semester through board certification, including AANP and ANCC exams. Rather than cramming at the end, you study by specialty track — FNP, PMHNP, and more — and build the knowledge your boards will test one lesson at a time. 94% of NP students say it's easier to remember what they study.

Is Sketchy NP worth it if I only have a few hours a week to study for NP school?

Sketchy NP is built for NP students juggling shifts, clinicals, family, and coursework. Most lessons are narrated so you can study on the go, and clinician-curated playlists tell you exactly what to study next so no hour is wasted. The more consistently you use it, the more the visual mnemonics compound, making each new lesson faster to absorb than the last.

How do I use Sketchy NP alongside my coursework?

Most NP students use Sketchy NP alongside their coursework by pulling up a lesson the moment a topic isn't clicking — pharmacology, pathophysiology, whatever the lecture didn't make stick. The visual mnemonic gives you something to hold onto when the textbook version fades. Use the QBank to test yourself before high-stakes assessments, and boards prep is built in by the time you need it.

How is Sketchy NP different from other NP study resources?

Sketchy NP is different from other NP study guides because it's built around how memory actually works. Complex concepts — especially pharmacology and pathophysiology — are broken down into visual stories that stick. Recurring symbols compound across lessons so big-picture understanding builds automatically. Interactive patient cases go beyond passive multiple choice, putting you in realistic clinical scenarios where you practice thinking like a provider.

Do you offer group discounts for NP students?

Yes. Sketchy NP offers group pricing for NP students studying together or purchasing as a cohort. Groups of 10 or more qualify for at least 20% off — and the bigger the group, the more everyone saves. See if your group qualifies.
