A bit more detail would be helpful.. for a class, NCLEX, or something else? I guess honestly it doesn't matter what you are reviewing for. Either you are ready and take whatever test it is, or you suck it up and study some more. In the end it is worth that time, even if you feel like you mind has gone numb in the meantime. Whatever it is.. good luck.

Are you more tired of reviewing or more tired of failing?

Every time I have reached the point of "tired of reviewing", I stop reviewing. My philosophy the night before any exam is "What I know right now, I know really well. And what I dont know yet, I am not going to possibly cram in my brain tonight!" I sleep and dont study the day of a test.

This is what works for me, maybe not others. Last thing I would want for you is to get so tired of reviewing that you miss key words or details for a question you would have gotten right if you werent just tired of it all.

Now, I still have a year before I am eligible to take the NCLEX, and I am sure I will be eating my words a year from now! Lol.

If your test is tomorrow, eat something good and go to bed early. If you are still a few days or weeks away, then alternate a study day with a "you" day.

Good luck future Nurse!!!!!!!

You still have a long way to go. I mean 11 months seems forever when you are in school.

Buy don't get to discourage. Take one step at the time. You will be just fine.

How long do you have until you take NCLEX? If you've got a while, give yourself a sanity break and take a day or two off. I actually went on vacation 2 weeks before NCLEX and took a 5 day study break. Once in a while, I used my NCLEX app on my phone to answer about 20 questions, but it was far & few between. I used the time to relax. When I came back, I had renewed energy to start studying again. Sometimes, you just need to give yourself a reasonable break. In my case, I had been reviewing for over a month and a half since graduation, so I definitely needed the break :)

Best of luck :D

I couldn't agree more with those who have advised you to take a small break. I hit a wall several times while studying for the NCLEX. Give yourself time to relax and stay sane. After each break, I felt rejuvenated and ready to start studying again.
