I literally can not wait any longer, anxiety will be the downfall of me, so much so, that I went ahead and moved my test up a week. I have been studying for the best part of 6mths, and every time I think I have studied and covered enough, I get a question that leaves me frantic. I have been robust in my revision, stuck to the plan, I have answered 2,500+ questions using Saunders Q&A, LaCharity P/D/A, Lippincott Alternative Format Questions and the Hurst Review, which really put everything into proper perspective.

I take my test Saturday July 2nd at 2pm. I share this with my fellow nurses to be, as I have decided not to reveal this to my immediate family and friends. The last time I told everyone, I was a complete mess from the stress of everyone knowing. This time I have done everything differently.

To all my repeated test takers, stick to 3 to 4 pieces of material for revision, you have to give a piece of resource a chance to work, when I took my test initially, I think I was looking at 15+ pieces of books etc......it does not work. Know your basic content, if you know that, then you can pretty much answer any question. As Hurst says, until you know it without hesitation or doubt, it truly works.

Good luck to all, if you put the work in, you will be successful, I know I will be next Saturday....
