Teas in less than 3 hours - so nervous

[augurey]

My test starts at 3:45, so about 2.5 hours left until then.

My stomach has been in knots since yesterday morning, and even more so today. I only need a 45% for science, which is my weakness. I took a practice test last night and failed science by 1.2%. After everything I've put in the last 2 weeks, last night and today, part of me just knows I'm going to fail (because that's just what I expect), and another part of me only sees me coming out of there passing (which I'm trying to avoid thinking about too much because it'll only make it that much more disappointing if I don't pass).

I feel like I've exhausted my abilities with the Teas manual, so last night I started on the McGraw Hill and just finished. I feel like I got more out of it after going through the Teas manual. I do feel confident that I learned a little bit more, but my science knowledge is so basic.

The one thing I've learned from both practice exams is that my knowledge needs to be deeper than what I have got out of the books. On the other hand, I'm hoping that my basic knowledge at least leads me in the right direction. My last actual science class was earth science and biology, my freshman and sophomore years of high school, so science is going to be my downfall.

I just know that I need to find a way to relax before I walk in those doors because I can't imagine being able to think right now. Not timed, anyway. I've paced some today to try and get some of the nervous energy out. I continued to review some science throughout the day, but not to the point that I'm burnt out. My thoughts are just kind of all over the place and racing.

Any last minute advice on how to calm down enough to keep my head on straight?

Did you not have any science classes involving Chemistry or A&P? I don't recall having any Earth Science questions on my TEAS exam (not to add to the nerves!). Take deep breaths. Freaking out before an exam is not going to help. I don't know about you, but when I finally took the exam, I was saying to myself, "You've studied. You're here. You just have to click the right answer." I try not to worry too much if I don't know a question because, odds are, there are going to be questions you won't know. And that's okay. Just move on and answer the next one. Eliminate the answers you KNOW are wrong, and it will increase your chances of getting the answer right. Good luck!
