Hey guys! I am taking the NCLEX-PN on Thursday! I thought that I was prepared! I've been doing 100-200 q's a day for a month and a half! I was even in NHS in nursing school yet I feel completely unprepared now. I have been using ATI, Exam Cram, Saunders, and NCLEX 3500. I've gone from confident to getting more questions on my practice test wrong. I need advice asap!

RELAX and calm down! Your putting too much pressure on yourself just days before the test. Don't do that. Just remember not to second guess yourself and critically think with every question. You got this! Good luck

Tiffaliff, honestly? I think you should go take it and stop stressing, but please do me a favor, READ, REREAD AND REWORD EACH SENTENCE before answering but not much so you don't lead your self to the wrong answer. And its better to try to answer all if they keep coming. God be with you and good luck. You will be in my prayers. Meanwhile ..... Congrats

Just relax.. i took the test on nov 18 with 75q's and passed.. i did as much as the same number of practice questions as you 2 weeks before the exam also.. but i tried not to pay attention to whether i got the question right or wrong.. i just made sure that i knew the rationales whether i knew it or not.. what's important is how much you absorbed, not how much you got correct.. after the test i felt that the kaplan questions were even harder than the nclex questions.
Remember to relax at least a day or 2 before the exam..
Goodluuck and Gobless!
Thanks you guys! I know I'm having "last minute jitters". I just need to remember that I know this stuff, breathe, and pray! Also, I heard its better not to study at all the day before. Is this true?
