I am sure that there are hundreds in this program yet Dr. Lopes finds time to respond to everyone. I was shocked when I got a personal call. He was genuinely concerned about my progress. I truly feel like my ability to pass my exam matters to him. His style of teaching is awesome. He takes his time, he’s engaging, stimulating, and sometimes humorous! I’m new to this program and I’m so glad I found it! Before this, I was discouraged, but now I’m very motivated and encouraged! Exam Coach by far is winning!!🥇

30 Day Walk to Success
I cannot recommend the 30 Day Walk to Success enough! This program played a direct role in helping me pass my boards. Every part of the review was incredibly valuable—from the test banks, to the live reviews on Tuesday and Wednesday, and even the Kahoot games on Thursday. Each component reinforced the material in a different way and truly helped everything come together.
I also highly encourage taking the crash course review. The way the content is broken down makes complex topics easier to understand and remember when it matters most on test day.
What really sets this program apart is the dedication of Dr. Lopez. He is extremely committed to his students and always responsive when questions come up. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping people succeed.
Honestly, I felt like I learned more during this review than I did during my entire two years obtaining my master’s degree. The test-taking strategies, mnemonics, and clear explanations made all the difference.
If you are preparing for boards and want a program that truly prepares you for success, this is it. I’m incredibly grateful for this course and everything it provided on my journey to passing!
Response from NP EXAM COACH LLCMar 5, 2026

Amazing review course
I cannot say enough amazing things about NP ExamCoach with Dr. Thales Lopes. His course truly outlines everything you need to know to be successful on the ANCC PMHNP exam. The material is organized, thorough, and strategically focused on what actually matters for boards. I reviewed other PMHNP review courses and something about his preview videos about the NPExam Coach resonated with me.
I followed his recommendations exactly — I printed and reviewed every module, completed the QBank questions, took the diagnostic exams, and attended the live classes throughout the week. To be honest, it was a lot to keep up with while working a full-time job, but it was absolutely worth it.
Dr. Lopes is kind, motivating, and an exceptional leader. His dedication to helping future PMHNPs succeed is evident in everything he does. He goes above and beyond to ensure his students understand the material and feel confident walking into the exam.
I especially appreciated his encouragement and commitment. His support made a meaningful difference in my journey. He truly deserves recognition for being an outstanding healthcare leader and mentor.
If you are preparing for the ANCC PMHNP exam and want a structured, comprehensive, and inspiring program — NP ExamCoach with Dr. Thales Lopes is the way to go. You will not regret it.

Latricia,
CONGRATULATIONS on your incredible success! 🥳
I am deeply touched by your kind words and honored that you chose this program after comparing it to other review courses. Hearing that my preview videos "resonated" with you and led you to this victory makes me incredibly proud.
I especially want to commend your discipline. You mentioned it was "a lot to keep up with while working a full-time job," but because you "followed [the] recommendations exactly"—printing every module, completing the QBank, and attending live classes—you reached the finish line. It is wonderful to hear that the sacrifice was "absolutely worth it".
My goal is to provide a program that is "organized, thorough, and strategically focused on what actually matters," and I am so glad that this structure gave you the exact roadmap you needed to feel "confident walking into the exam." Thank you for recognizing my dedication and for calling me an "outstanding healthcare leader and mentor"—that is a title I strive to live up to every day.
I take so much personal pride in your journey. Thank you for your "inspiring" recommendation to future PMHNPs and for saying they "will not regret it!"
For anyone else juggling a full-time job while trying to prepare for boards, let Latricia’s success be your sign that with the right structure, you can do this.

My name is Keila, and I've been part of this wonderful group. I want to thank Dr. Thales for his dedication, time, knowledge, and teaching. I owe my success to Dr. Thales and his group.

Thank you, Dr. Thales, for your wonderful teaching, and to everyone who is about to take this exam and is in this group, don't give up. Best of luck to all.

Thank you for sharing your personal experience with NP Exam Coach. I deeply appreciate your kind words about the dedication, time, and teaching behind this program.

The ANCC and AANP PMHNP board exams are challenging by design, and walking into that testing center ready to face it takes preparation, discipline, and confidence. You earned that success.
Your encouragement to others in the group—“don’t give up”—is powerful. Many PMHNP students feel overwhelmed before exam day, but with structured guidance, high-yield content, practice questions, live reviews, and consistent support, success becomes achievable. Your journey is proof of that.
Thank you for trusting the process and for allowing me and the NP Exam Coach team to be part of your milestone. Seeing you succeed and step into practice as a confident Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner is exactly why this program exists.

I recommend this program without hesitation to anyone who truly wants to learn psychiatry the right way, become a competent and ethical provider, and treat patients with honor, dignity, and genuine clinical responsibility.
The NP Exam Coach PMHNP Board Review, led by Dr. Thales López and his outstanding team, is far more than a traditional board review. This course is not about memorization; it is about a deep understanding of psychiatric principles, clinical reasoning, and the application of knowledge meaningfully in real-world practice.
Dr. Thales demonstrates an exceptional level of expertise, clarity, and dedication to teaching. His approach ensures that students truly understand the material rather than simply learning how to pass an exam.
During the Crash Course sessions, he teaches for up to 7 intensive hours per day, 2 days, then continues for several additional hours to answer questions thoroughly and patiently, ensuring every student feels supported and confident.
What truly sets this program apart is that it is not driven by financial motives, but by a sincere commitment to student success. The value of this course far exceeds its cost. Communication is consistent, and genuine emails are answered, questions are addressed, and there is a true sense of partnership between Dr. Thales and his students.
This program fosters confidence, motivation, and professional growth. It challenges you to push forward, stay committed, and complete your goals while developing the clinical competence needed to care for psychiatric patients ethically and effectively. Patients may carry lifelong diagnoses, but this course reinforces the importance of treating them as whole individuals who deserve respect, understanding, and integration into society.
For me, this experience has been unique, highly professional, respectful, and transformative. I strongly recommend NP Exam Coach with Dr. Thales López and his team to any NP student seeking excellence, clarity, and a truly meaningful educational experience.

Alina, I am truly humbled by your words. Thank you for this incredibly thoughtful and powerful 5-star review. It means more than you know.
What you described captures the heart of what NP Exam Coach was built to represent — not just a PMHNP board review course, but a structured path toward becoming a competent, ethical, and clinically sound Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
You are absolutely right: this program is not about memorization. The goal has always been to develop deep understanding, strong clinical reasoning, and the ability to apply psychiatric principles meaningfully — both for the ANCC and AANP PMHNP board exams and for real-world patient care. Passing the boards is essential, but becoming a thoughtful, responsible provider is the true mission.
I deeply appreciate you recognizing the intensity and dedication behind the Crash Course sessions and live reviews. Those extended hours, the detailed explanations, and the continued Q&A are intentional — because every student deserves clarity, confidence, and support. No one should feel rushed through material that shapes their professional future.
Your comment about partnership and communication truly resonates. When someone joins NP Exam Coach, they are not purchasing a product — they are entering a mentorship model. Emails are answered. Questions are addressed. Students are supported. That commitment is personal.
Most meaningful to me is your reflection on treating psychiatric patients with dignity, honor, and holistic understanding. That is the foundation of ethical psychiatric practice, and I am grateful that the program reinforced that perspective for you.
Thank you for your trust, your dedication, and your powerful recommendation. Your words will guide many future PMHNP students who are seeking not just a review course, but a transformative educational experience grounded in excellence and integrity.
