Pass the NAB First Try

Two exams. 200 total questions. One license. Organized the way the exam tests it — not the way the job works.

⚠️ Honest Note

The NAB exam tests academic and regulatory knowledge — not how well you run a building. Study for the test. Learn the job on the job.

"The COMPLETE NHA Study Guide" — Lamont Jones (2024)

Comprehensive "huge notebook." Covers PDPM. Available on Amazon.

📌 Study Strategy (From Candidates Who Passed)
  • PDPM is the #1 topic candidates feel unprepared for. Start here.
  • Memorize the 5 QAPI elements — they appear repeatedly
  • Know the scope/severity grid (A-L) and Immediate Jeopardy definition cold
  • Labor law overlaps are tricky: FMLA vs. ADA vs. FLSA differences
  • Practice 200+ questions minimum before exam day
  • Most candidates study 4-8 weeks. Don't cram.
