I am terrified..

Hi all,

I'm a new graduate as of May, and I'm taking my boards on Monday. I've been reading through these forums for the last few weeks and feeling ok, since I've been studying material and answering questions (Lippincott, Princeton Review). Classmates of mine have started to take the exam, and the vast majority are passing, but they tell me that the questions were horrible and that they came out of the exam and cried for days. I am now officially freaking out, and with 3 days to go I'm not sure how I should be studying. When I do badly on a practice exam, I start to worry and can't focus.. leading to more missed questions (horrible cycle).

If I'm averaging 72-80 on practice exams when I'm focusing, does that sound like things are going ok????

Help. Support. Prayers. Please. I can't wait for this to be over. :mad:

my prayers are with you.. you will be fine., i take mine on 7/17 i get so nervous i don't read the questions right .. i am trying to train myself to read each question twice. my scores are much better since i took the kaplan course.. i still need to study more.. good luck and please let me know how you do

Well, with you taking the test on Monday, I think you should follow the advise that was probably given either in some of your study guides or suggested by others here...do not study a day or two before the test. It is easier said than done, but you have done all that you can do and that is the time for you to free your mind, so to speak, meditate, think positive and calming thoughts. I slept really good the day before the exam...went to bed early and had my friend call me the morning of the exam. Your rates sound good, just think positive.

I can feel your pain...I just took the exam a few days ago and I'm now waiting for the dreaded results. I think you must be prepared for the exam if you have been studying and getting those kind of results on the practice exam. The only advice I would offer to you is practice a bunch of prioritization questions in the next couple of days but don't do a lot of studying the day before. Take the time to relax, rest and get a good night's sleep. I'm sure you'll do GREAT!
