Ergh. Up at 7AM and I can't sleep anymore. 24 hours until I PASS this test.
... I think I've given myself an ulcer. At most, I've been afforded the opportunity to differentiate whether it's in my stomach or my intestines .
Carafate, anyone?

It's nerve-wrecking, I know! Just remember to breathe during the exam, focus on the question and not the anxiety, and think through the questions. I took my test yesterday and those thoughts helped me.
You can do it! I know there's a lot of pressure surrounding this exam (I haven't gotten my results yet, so the pressure hasn't quite let up), but you can get through it! Let us know how it goes for you!

I took my test yesterday and those thoughts helped me. HA you wanna know what happened to me? I couldn't sleep well for 2 nights before..and then this AM I took my RN boards and... the minute I sat down at the computer I decided it was just too hot and stuffy in there to BREATH!!!! I was like I can't handle this for six hours what am I gonna do? But then I said well....just do it.... don't go into some panic attack or something geez!! So I concentrated..and then when the test ended at 75 (an hour and a half later) I decided I had aclimated the temperature..or maybe it was b/c the door had opened behind me so many times during the exam (people going out al the time). But I made it. Then I came home and fell apart for 2 hours.... and now I"m semi okay...semi up in the air..and so plan to be rather moody for the next 40 or so hours... ha.
