NCCAA board review, built by a practicing CAA
MACPrep isn't a content mill, and it isn't a nurse-anesthesia bank retrofitted for CAAs. It's the board-prep resource I wanted for my own exams — and the one I now use to teach the students I precept.
Hi — I'm Jake Karel, CAA.
Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant · Founder, MACPrep LLC
I'm a Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant in active clinical practice. I built MACPrep because, when I went looking for board prep in our field, what I found was outdated, uncited, or overpriced — and a lot of it was really nurse-anesthesia material with "CAA" stamped on the cover.
So I built the thing I wished existed: a question bank written from the ground up for the NCCAA exam, where every answer choice has a rationale and every question links to a source you can open and verify yourself. Nothing goes live until a practicing clinician has signed off on it. That's not a tagline — it's the whole point.
It's the resource I wish I'd had for my own boards, and it's the tool I use to teach the SAAs I precept between cases. In medicine, you should be able to trust — and check — every answer you study. MACPrep is built so you always can.
Whether you're an SAA sitting for certification or a CAA due for recertification, I hope it helps you walk in ready. And if something's ever wrong, tell me — support@macprep.org comes straight to me.
