Normal to feel like you are SO NOT READY the night before??

UP until tonight I have felt like I was really preparing myself well...now all of a sudden I feel like I don't know enough..I keep reviewing things over and over again and thinking that I Need more study time, although I am so fried from studying I don't think I could study more even if I had the extra days to!! Is this normal?

hey, take it from someone who just took that crazy mess of a test, know matter how much studying you do, you will never feel ready.
The test is crazy! there were tons of meds I never heard of, teaching questions about obscure mess. I guessed a lot, just get some sleep tonight.

I was a basket case (reference the posts I made 24 hours ago). I took the test this morning and after 75 questions I walked out thinking "Whaaa? That was it?" Now, take this with a grain of salt because I don't have my results....but the test was common sense. I never once felt like I was losing control of the test. Of course, I ran into some meds I wasnt sure about or a teaching question that baffled me...but all in all the test was just another test. It is no big MONSTER MYSTERY test like I feared. I was sure glad I knew what St.Johns Wort was for etc b/c I think my test was sponsored by its manufacturer


Be confident and go kick butt!!!!

You probably took the test already by now, but yes, it is very normal to feel out of sorts the day before. I tuned it out to the best of my ability and went to sleep early. Actually slept well. Good luck!
