Last few days before exam?

SugarSugar15 · Aug 4, 2012

I did questions (Kaplan QBank) up to two days before the exam. I reviewed the rationales from trainers 6 + 7 the day before. I ONLY reviewed rationales.. Stopped answering questions 2 days before. Breathe, relax. Grab a piece of paper and sign YOUR NAME, RN. Have faith in yourself and good luck!! :nurse:

You can do it! Just relax and have faith. Think positive:)

For me it doesnt really matter what i do day/s before the exam, even the night before. If you feel like studying, do. If you dont feel like doing so, then dont. Know that the information you have studied is already in your head, just make sure you have enough sleep and dont eat too much before going into the testing site. Good vibes! :)

I studied the night before. I did some questions, saw that my scores were good and then watched an episode of my favorite show. I couldnt sleep until 2am.. got up at 5am to get ready.

Hi, any tips/recommendations/suggestions for the last few days before exam day?
I know not to study the day before!!! That I will do :)
Should I just keep continuing to do questions and reviewing the study guide not by allnurses?
please and thanks!
--I WILL PASS AND I WILL BE AN RN--

I love your positive energy. I wish you the best.

Review lab values and brush up on problem areas. Other than that eat balanced meals, exercise, and get enough rest. Stay positive you can do this!

I am in the same boat, testing in a few days...

Done the Kaplan trainers, now will do the ATI questions. The day before I will try not to study, but I doubt I will not.

I found a good video on how to remember cranial nerves on youtube, in case anyone wants it let me know. I did not want to clutter this post with more study information.

Good Luck to the O/P, we will both be RN's by the end of this week.

That one is a long one, make sure you have plently of water and snacks and NO interruptions and yes, take a break. It was exhausting, good luck.

I know the feeling, not sure what I can tell you. I found myself not following the decision tree because it is mentally exhausting, but I encourage you to do just that - follow the tree and ask the outcome of the answer and start eliminating the wrong choices.... and if you have to take frequent breaks do... I mean if you are mentally exhausted all you will try to do is finish quickly. I wish you the best.
