hey everyone, i really need someone to help me calm down. i take my nclex-rn on 8-12-08... i have taken 3 review classes since the end of may. i have been doing kaplan q-bank and q- trainer. my first assessment for kaplan was a 60 and my readiness test was a 70. my q-bank so far with 60% done i have avg of 53% and my q- trainers for 1-3 are 61, 48, 60. i have read all over the board about people questioning them self's. i know i would not have gotten this far is i didn't know what i am doing and i am trying to stay focused. i am just in the need for reassurance... i feel like i can't focus i am getting distracted by stupid stuff like tv ect. i just need someone who is or has been in my situation to help me out of this funk. my family and friends really don't understand what's going on with me now so i feel i have no one to talk to... ya know...

sorry for the vent...i just want to know what i am doing is okay with kaplan and that i should just keep focused and take the exam on the 12th instead of changing my date....

I know my anxiety level is just up and down right about now. This is a very stressful time for most of us. I suggest to try and calm down. Finds ways that help you. For me I try to meditate, drink some chamomile tea, or play some soft music. After you have calmed down you can refocus, then you get back to practicing your questions. Good luck and remember pressure makes diamonds;);)
