7 Days before my test

I went to take my NCLEX PN exam on Oakland but by the time I got there, it was too late. The guy told me that I was late and that he didn't let me take the test. My appointment was on 2:00pm and I got there by 2:27pm so I was no longer accepted.

Anyways, I went through the hassle of getting a re-examination form sent to me through mail, I filed up the application, attached a $150, and sent it back to them. Now, I'm able to take the test and I'm gonna take it on March 21st. I'm anxious since this is the very first time that I'm gonna take this test.

I feel a little burned out. I don't know if I could study any further. I've studied far enough (at least I think I did). I don't want to cram anymore, it's too much.

My mom blamed herself for me being late and said it was her fault. It wasn't. She had patients to care for because we needed the money. We learned our lesson and from now on, we're getting there on time. I'm gonna wake up early and get there on time.

Why are you taking your mom with you to take boards? There will be no where for her to wait. If you need the support, call her before you go into the testing center and call her when you leave. There's no reason for your mom to go with you.

I wonder if the OP had to wait for her mom to come home from work to use the car?

Possibly. I just know she said next time they were going to get there on time. I know at my testing place they wouldn't even let you sit in the lobby.

When I first went to the Pearson Vue in Oakland, my mom left and she ate in a restaurant that isn't far away from the testing site. First off, I can't drive yet so my mom is gonna drive me there. She's just probably gonna go somewhere and once I'm done, I can just wait.

So my question is: should I study for the next 6 days before my actual test?
