Whenever confused stop and close your eyes say a small prayer(as you dont have too much time, God understands haha). Just dont get stuck on one question. Remember you CAN get few wrong ITS OK. So don't dwell over one question you didn't know about (maybe it was a pilot question). Take your time. All the BEST. I am sure you will rock it.

God Bless

I took NCLEX 3 years ago, and while I was not nervous beforehand, I very calmly took the test, passed it in 75 questions, then proceeded to go out to my car, sit in the driver's seat, and burst into hysterical tears for a few minutes. I then went house shopping to celebrate the start of my new career. Yes, it is normal to have some test stress. BTW, being up at 3 am is probably not a great thing before a big test! Good luck!

Most important advice...........Do not stay up late the night before. Go to bed at a decent time and get a good nights sleep. No studying 24hrs before the exam. Do NOT cram till all hours of the night and show up at the test with a few hours sleep and a lot of coffee onboard. Get there 30 min early and rested. Oh, and eat something like a bowl of oatmeal and a glass of milk plus your coffee if you drink it. Not the time to go cold turkey on coffee either! You will do fine and if not, well it will be there again.
