I am so nervous, I will take the NCLEX July 14th at 1000. I am reading some questions from Exam Cram. I took Kaplan review and practiced some questions from Saunders and some from Nclex 3500; of course I have been reading tons of tips, sugestions and random tips from this GREAT website.

Any last minute tips from those who already took the NCLEX I will greatly appreciate.

Just relax. There is no way of predicting what questions you will get but if you are too nervous to concentrate it doesn't really matter anyway! I wish you well. Do something nice for yourself tomorrow so you can clear your mind and have some "me" time.:nuke:

Don't do anything the day before the exam. Do something fun, for yourself.

Get a good nights sleep.

Eat a good breakfast the day of the test

Remember to *try* to relax the day of the tes

t.

Remember to bring the correct paperwork!! Bring your ATT and make sure to have a current picture ID.

Leave early enough to get to the testing site at least 1/2 hour before your scheduled exam time. (I got there about 45minutes early. I walked in and they registered me right away and I started my test about 1/2 hr earlier than my scheduled time.)

Read each question carefully, look for the words that are in bold print, look for the words first, last, most important, etc.

Be positive in your thoughts. You CAN do this! More people pass than fail. 85% of all 1st time test takers pass. 85 out of 100 people is pretty good odds.

Don't worry about how many questions you get, how many math, SATA's etc. There is NO way to determine from those if you passed or not.

Know that you will most likely come out of that testing center feeling shell-shocked and thinking that you bombed the test.

Wishing you the best tomorrow! You can do this.
