Big day is tomorrow...

Published

I'm trying so hard to stay calm, but it's getting hard.

Content wise, I'm pretty solid for the most part. I've stayed close to and above the "goal scores" for my practice tests. but I'm really worried about meds and alternative style questions... Especially meds. Though I've improved a lot, it's still my weakest subject.

Any last minute tips? Words of wisdom? Anyone else in the same shoes?

Good luck to you! I am testing tomorrow too and getting really anxious! I really hope that I can pull this off. Worst part of this is that I woke up this morning with a cold and fever out of nowhere. So frustrating.

Just stay calm! :) I plan on reading and rereading every question multiple times and thinking out the rationale in my head.

Randomly & Rmaria, all the best to both of you. Don't stress yourself out today. Relax. But, if you want to review as you said. I will encourage you to listen to The 8 concept of the NCLEX by Anneliese Garrison at caring4you.net

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear you got sick!

Sounds like a good plan - I just need to remember to think everything through clearly... I'm awful about losing my head, which I can't afford to do...

Good luck to you too! We can do this!

Thanks for the video recommendation - I just went through it and she gives an interesting new perspective. :) I also found an alternative style question video that she made, which was also pretty helpful!

As a side question, what did some of you all do to calm down before the test?

I've been trying to relax today but it's not going well...

Just think of it as any other test. You made it through nursing school, so this is no big deal. I got a good night rest before my exam, and I surprisingly woke up pretty calm. Make a playlist of your favorite songs to listen to on the drive there. I just jammed out on my drive, tried to keep a smile on my face, and I kept telling myself "Today is a great day to pass NCLEX!!!" Don't stress about meds and alternative questions. You will be surprised how much you know. I only had 1 med on my test that I didn't know. I passed in 78 questions on my first try. You can do this. You WILL pass. May the odds be ever in your favor (which they are)!!! Good luck nurse to be!!!!

Ugh, I know what you mean... I tried my best to separate by class, but even then there's just so many things to consider...

I wonder if I'll be too nervous to see what pops up for the pearsonvue trick. :p
