There is honestly nothing more that I can do to get ready for my test tomorrow.
I've came to that conculsion when I was sitting here doing more and more questions on the computer. While I may do some more questions later, I don't think I can prepare myself anymore, except to go into the test tomorrow with a positive outlook, think each question through, use my ADPIE and my ABC's and my base knowledge and just answer the questions the best that I can.
I'm very very nervous yes and I do wish that there was more that I can do, but I've read everything twice and just don't think my brain can take anymore. LOL.
Did/Does anyone feel this way?? However when I am doing questions (like now) I'm feeling guilty for not answering more and more questions. Sighs

I say, relax and go with what you have done to prepare. There is a point that you can become supersaturated. Just stop. Rest. Do something today to have fun. Get productive sleep tonight. Eat breakfast before you leave.
Good luck and let us know!

I agree with everyone else. I took mine on monday. The only thing I did the day before was study my notes that I had jotted down. I had a notebook full of quick notes of facts so I wouldn't forget. I only looked at that once that day and that was it until I took the exam the next day.
I was nervous too. Tummy ache and all. Just know when you go into the exam, the security is tight. No watch, empty your pockets, they finger print you etc.etc.... I think hearing that a few days before my exam helped me to know what to expect.
Do the strategy you said! There is usually 2 really good answers. Just narrow it down and pick the best one.
I just found out I passed today with 75 questions!!! Get a good night sleep and a good breakfast tomorrow!!!!
Good luck and I'm sure you will do fine! You know more than you think you do.

I agree, there is nothing better than being tranquil and get some rest. Good luck.

Annie,
Stopping your studying is probably the best thing you can do for right now. I'm sure you've worked hard, and hon, it's either a case of you have it or you don't. Take a day off from studying so you can go in with a fresh mind. That's what many of the books say to do a few days before the NCLEX. I wish you the very best of luck tomorrow!
