Don't think you will ever feel ready for the exam. Study questions is the big key I think, understand what they want

I think that's such an individual issue. I was sick of studying, 2 weeks prior it was giving me such a headache and only making me more nervous so I quit studying and thought "I will fail, I will look at this more as a practice test". I was only scoring 45-65% on the CD's that come with the study guides.

I passed!

Instead of practicing answering questions I changed over to just studying bullets. I think that helped me alot more. Good Luck :nurse:

Thats a question I'd also like to know. I've been able to get a good 75-85% correct on the study questions I use from Saunders and Kaplan but I'm still not convinced.

God help me...

I was so burnt on studying I just read the Random Facts Sticky the 2 days before. I also agree with Silverdragon that you should go over questions you have done and make sure you know and understand the rationals. Most important, take breaks to clear your mind. Clear minds think better. Good luck!:wink2:
