It's nerve wracking, mainly the skills part. Just remember that you KNOW what to do, and the steps (if you got a pamphlet from your state's BON listing steps) usually have "critical steps" that you can't forget. Other than that, no advice to cut down on the nerves other than try to be confident and just pretend it's really a patient and that the observer isn't even there watching you. Good luck!

Try not to be nervous, encourage yourself, read over the skills checklist and frequently missed checkpoints from the prometric website.

Good luck! I recommend going over all the steps for all the skills. Commit it to memory and you'll probably do well.
And remember, Privacy and Safety!
