Pass the NAB Exam.
The Complete AIT Prep Program
All 50 states. 2026 exam blueprint. Built by a licensed administrator who’s run the buildings.
The gap
You Deserve Better Than a 50-Question Glimpse
Most candidates sit for the most important exam of their career with practice material that barely scratches the surface. Here’s the math on NAB’s own offering:
Questions
One short practice run that covers a fraction of the blueprint — and never shows you what you got wrong or why.
Attempt
A single pass, then it’s over. No retake, no reinforcement, no drilling your weak domains until they’re strong.
Answers Provided
NAB’s practice exam gives you no answer key. You can’t study what you were never allowed to see.
The program
What’s Inside
Every piece of AIT Academy is mapped to the 2026 NAB exam blueprint — built for the way the exams are actually written, not the way textbooks wish they were.
Mock Exam 1
Full 100-question simulated CORE exam: 100 original scenario-based questions across all nine domains in blueprint weight, a complete answer key with deep explanations for every answer and distractor, and a domain score profile that shows exactly where to focus.
Mock Exam 2
A second full 100-question exam with 100 brand-new original scenario-based questions — none recycled. Deep explanations for every answer and every distractor, plus a domain score profile that prescribes exactly what to restudy.
NHA Line-of-Service Mock Exam
A full 75-question simulated Line-of-Service exam across all five LOS domains — Resident-Centered Care, Human Resources, Finance, Physical Environment, and Leadership & Management — with deep explanations for every answer and distractor, plus a domain score profile.
State Exam Supplements
Pick your state: a focused law digest plus 25 original practice questions with explanations for your state’s exam — covering every state that requires one, 29 in total. States without a state exam are clearly marked.
NAB Study Guide
Blueprint-weighted coverage of all seven NHA Line-of-Service domains, a six-week study plan, 35 practice questions with rationales, glossary, and a final 48-hour review plan.
NAB Exam Strategy Guide
How to attack the exam: question-attack methods for scenario items, distractor elimination, time management and pacing, tie-breaking when stuck, the 7-day plan, the 48-hour protocol, and an exam-day checklist.
Rapid-Review Cheat Sheets
One-page rapid review for every domain — all 9 CORE plus all 7 Line-of-Service — packed with high-yield facts, a federal numbers and deadlines bank, and a high-yield F-tag crosswalk. Printable for the final days.
Flashcards
200 cards across every domain, high-yield cards flagged. Get the double-sided printable set with cut guides and domain dividers, plus an Anki deck for spaced-repetition drilling on your phone.
Licensure Requirements Reference
Every state’s required exams, AIT hours, education requirements, and key notes in one searchable reference — so you always know your exact path to licensure.
AIT Hour Tracker
Log dates, domains, and hours with preceptor sign-off. Automatic running totals and a dashboard of required vs. completed vs. remaining hours, on NAB-aligned domains.
Preceptor Guide
A playbook for the licensed administrator mentoring you: onboarding, rotation assignments, weekly supervision, competency scoring, remediation, and hour documentation.
12-Week Study Curriculum
Your week-by-week plan from day one to exam day: sequenced study topics, milestones, and practice checkpoints mapped to the NAB domains.

Your instructor
Built by Someone Who’s Run the Buildings
Generic prep companies sell you a stack of flashcards. AIT Academy is built by an administrator with years of experience leading skilled nursing facilities — clinical operations, survey readiness, staffing, census development, and financial performance — who remembers exactly what walking into the NAB exam unprepared felt like.
Josiah Marx built this program the way he runs an AIT: with a real blueprint, real accountability, and no shortcuts. Every study module, practice question, and coaching session connects the exam domains to what you’ll actually face as a licensed administrator — because the exam is only the first door your career walks through.
If you’re going to trust someone with your exam prep, trust the person who’s lived the job you’re preparing for.
Questions
FAQ
Is this affiliated with NAB?
No. AIT Academy is an independent educational program and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or approved by the National Association of Long Term Care Administrator Boards (NAB). Our materials are original study resources aligned to NAB’s published exam blueprint.
Does it cover my state?
Yes — the program covers all 50 states. The 50-state licensure requirements reference lays out each state’s required exams, AIT hours, and education requirements, and the state exam supplements give you a focused law digest plus 25 practice questions for every state that requires a state exam — 29 states in total. States without a separate state exam are clearly marked in your library. Because state rules change, you should always verify current requirements directly with your state licensure board.
How long do I get access?
You get 12 months of full access from the day you enroll — plenty of runway to complete your AIT hours, study the full curriculum, and sit for the exam. Pro tip: start the hour tracker on day one.
What if I fail the exam?
If you complete the program and don’t pass, you’re not on your own: you get a free 90-day access extension plus a one-on-one study-plan review built around your score profile, so you walk back in sharper. No prep program can guarantee passage — but preparation, data, and coaching are exactly how you improve your odds.
What’s the refund policy?
We offer a 7-day conditional refund: if the program isn’t right for you within the first 7 days of enrollment, you may request a refund, provided you haven’t substantially completed the downloadable materials. See the full program terms for eligibility details.
Do you offer group or corporate plans?
Yes. Operators, chains, and state associations can license cohort seats for AIT pipelines. Cohort licensing starts at $12,000, quoted by group size and support level — request a proposal.
