Sounds like you've done more than me! I'm testing tomorrow too, 8am!:uhoh21: I'm just looking forward to getting it over with. I'm tired of worrying about the stupid thing!:angryfire I'm sure everyone around me is ready for it to be over with too.:chair: Oh well. We'll all get through it. We all know the material, just need to keep calm enough to pick the right answers!!
Good luck!

Hey Gypsy~~
BREEEEEAAATHE!!! -- IN through your nose...lol....out mouth.
It sounds like you need to take a nice, calm, soothing bath (or shower if you prefer)...crawl into bed and deep breathe yourself to sleep:)
It sounds as if you have prepared as much as you could up to this point...now, take care of yourself! That's VERY important!
I do believe in over doing it. Not saying you have, just saying.
I'm sending SUPER positve and relaxing thoughts your way!

No matter how much material you reviewed, it is absolutely normal to feel, that you could have done more and you are still not ready. I think it is very good, that you used different sourses, so you got yourselve prepared for unknown format of question. For the exam itselve I would recommed you not to change your routine - it will just stress you more- if you used to wake up at 6 am - and have big lunch at 12 - do it, do not take any sedatives.
Good luck to you.
