Anxiety

So, I'm taking the NCLEX-RN in ~a week. I'm already super anxious about it. I graduated in December with a high GPA, have done well on the Kaplan Q Bank and Q Trainers that I have done, but got sick earlier this week so my study plan got thrown off and it's adding to my anxiety.

Kaplan scores so far

Diagnostic- 66.67% (unproctored and at home)

Nursing Assessment Test - 75% (proctored at school)

Secure Predictor 1 - 64% (proctored at school)

Readiness Test - 62% (unproctored at home)

QT 1 - 52%

QT 2 - 65%

QT 3 - 68%

QT 4 - 64%

Q Bank (only completed ~300 questions) - average is 63%

Originally I had planned to do all 7 Q Trainers (and still plan on it) and also all of the Q Bank questions. Now I don't think I have time to do all the Q Bank questions unless I do ~300 questions a day and Kaplan said to do no more than 150/day. I also plan on doing the 4 sample tests. I'm reviewing content as I'm going along and definitely noticing my scores in those areas improve so plan on continuing that as well.

How is/did everyone else control their anxiety leading up to test day? I'm having trouble sleeping. I'm not hungry. I'm dreaming about the NCLEX. It's horrible. :(

Ideas?

for most people this is a normal reaction. The exam will be as stressful as you make it. Take a deep breath and the day before do something other than study to take your mind off the exam
