I can still back out!!

So I have until tomorrow morning to call and cancel. I so do not want to cancel........I have been doing so good, working on comprehensive tests and all last week I was getting in the 70's I borrowed books from everyone I know to have a variety. My highest score was 77, and nothing below a 60. So, I WAS excited to retake the test for the 3rd time this wednesday the 21st.....And NOW I'm having like an anxiety attack, since studying today I am not doing as well as I was last week. I have been studying for 3 months now! I know I can do this, however my anxiety and anticipation to take the test is now getting the better of me. I guess I just know that I don't want to feel the way I did when I saw those words on the screen, twice. I don't think I could handle it a 3rd time. Kudos to those who have conquered and succeeded. I know I can, but again I dread those words.

I envision myself walking into work and saying, I'm an RN!! (I didn't tell anyone I was going to take the exam)

However again my anxiety is getting the best of me!

Don't back out. You prepared the best way possible. Leave it to God. Before you take the test, say, I can do it, I will pass. Take your time taking the test. Let me know when you passed. God Bless

there are various types of anxiety like good anxiety and bad anxiety. if you have good anxiety it means that you can actually look at a question and still be able to answer the question and still maintain your avaerage that you had weeks ago. but bad anxiety is if you answer question and really fall below the passing mark like being in the 60's or low 50's. i believe that if you have been focused studying you know your stuff. don't second guess yourself. go out for a walk, or just do some quiet meditation. take your mind off it like for half an hour and see how you feel and take another practice to see how you do. i have my test late in april, and i am taking it for the third time as well. I try everyday to stay focused and try to remember my strategies and content as well. it is hard to stay focus. but just pray and stay focus and say to your self i will pass i will be successful. good luck

and relax

I'm scheduled to take the exam also this Wednesday. I have a full time job and didn't have enough time to review contents and do practice tests. As of 6:00pm...I stopped looking into my text books and notes because they make me feel more anxious! I know there's nothing more I can do right now. If you back out, you will only prolong the agony. Whatever your religion is...PRAY, PRAY, PRAY! Don't worry...I'll pray for you. Please pray for me, too! Good luck!

I do feel like it is a mix of good and bad anxiety, good in the sense that I want to do this, and I don't know how much more I could prepare for it......

Thank you for all of your kinds words, and like I said I envision myself walking into work on Thursday saying "I'm an RN" and suprising everyone.

I think you are on to something homeyko, maybe I should just sit back and relax, what more can I possibly retain? I will pray for you also Homeyko, I hope to hear good news from you as well!

Good luck to you also Twotfruity98!

And thank you Precious99, if I did back out, I would never know right? And when I do pass I would regret not going!

Thanks again!
