No matter how well you prepare, every NP exam includes a few questions that make you stop and think, “What in the world is this?” These are the infamous "zebra questions," the ones designed to test how you handle uncertainty rather than how much obscure content you’ve memorized. The goal isn’t to know every rare diagnosis, but to stay calm, think critically, and move forward with confidence.

In this episode, Kaitlyn and I break down how to approach these unexpected, seemingly impossible exam questions using logic and reasoning rather than panic. We walk through real examples, including cases like blue skin discoloration after well water exposure and cave explorers with fungal infections, showing how to use context clues, process of elimination, and strategic thinking to find your best answer, even when the condition is brand new to you.
