How to prep for the NCLEX PN in 2 weeks?!?!?!

i finally registered and i'm glad i did. i feel more motivated to study much harder

:)

it's been a month and a half since i graduated and will take my pn nclex in 2 weeks. i'm so nervous bc i felt like i didn't retain any knowledge in school. it was kept in my short term memory for a test and forgot the next day. our school has been using kaplan and have barely passed the quarterly test. i did the online review sessions and they worked great. i've been on the website practicing questions but get discouraged easily. my weakness is physiological content and confidence. (my confidence is everything and right now i'm trying to be positive and build it up everyday but one wrong question gets me down and gets me doubt, which i shouldn't). i feel like time is running out. can i do it? how else can i get confident and ace this content?

update: i've been studying with 2 people and we go over kaplan questions 2x/wk...about 50. also, i've been praying and saying affirmations that i am going to pass but i don't know why...when i visualize it, it's hard for me to believe i will...i don't know if it's "hindsight bias" or negative thinking but i want to get rid of it!! my mind keeps thinking i'm going to re-do it...retake that nclex...please help me get this mentality out of my head :(

i appreciate all the advice and feedback! thanks!!!

    If you tell yourself I'm going to have to retake your NCLEX the in your mind you will make that happen. GET THAT THOUGHT BOMB OUT OF YOUR HEAD! Instead, tell yourself I'm going to pass this NCLEX, I know this information, I own this NCLEX, I'm going to be a nurse the day after when I check online.

    That's what I told myself...and I passed. I also spent three weeks studying for my NCLEX. I think the best thing to do for the next couple of week is just practice answering questions. Answer anywhere from 150 to 200 or 300 questions a day on practice/study mode. That's what I did to study and I passed.

    You've got this. You're going to pass. I thought for a moment not enough was in my head then I told myself...no...I'm not going to talk myself out of this test. I own this.

    Good luck and happy studying.

    You know your stuff, you have just graduated:)

    Don't try to cram but concentrate on answering questions and understanding what is being asked in the question by reading the rationales
