You will be okay. Take a deep breath and relax. I know its hard to do, especially when you have a monster test like the NCLEX knocking at your door, but don't overwhelm yourself. I test on the 8th and I feeel the same way. I am tired of studying and doing questions. I hope the month long studying will pay off cause God knows my brain cannot take anymore sitting in front of the computer doing questions.
Anyway, I'm taking the advice of many other students (now RN's!) that did this before us. I will relax and enjoy my last day doing nothing related to NCLEX. I will visit my friend that just gave birth and then visit my parents. On the morning of the test I will not review anything. I will eat a nice lunch and head to the testing center as though I was the incredible hulk. And then I will proceed to conquer the test! See... Positive thinking!
Take it easy and good luck
Iroseb I am in the same situation as you! I just finished QT7 and got a 63% I thought I bombed it like no other!! I am hoping that I prepared enough to pass my test on the 8th. I have been reading all of these threads and from what you post you seem like you are OK. We have been preparing for this test the whole time we were in nursing school. We passed nursing school and WE WILL PASS NCLEX!!!!!!!! Stay POSITIVE and PRAY, thats what I have been doing.....hopefully it works!!!
I got in the low 60's also and don't know anyone else who did much better than that. The day before the test my friend and I drove to Albany where we took our test and had dinner together and went to see Sex in the City. After I walked out, I had a mini panic attack and I took ambien to sleep. There was no way I could have slept without it. Our test was at 8 am and I was really ok before and during the test. On the way home I started thinking, way too much. How come I got 77? What does that mean? Oh god I got the last two wrong, I can't believe I failed it!!!! I couldn't eat, sleep or even talk to my family. I took my kids to see Hancock the night before I found out and that was ok but I couldn't really focus. My husband had to check to see if I passed, my hands were shaking so much I couldn't type my credit card in.
goodluck to all of you who are taking it!!!!
