You sound like you work better under pressure. I am the same way. How long have you been waiting for your ATT?

With or without ATT, shouldn't you at least prepare for it? I mean, this is like your life-changing exam, right?
Yeah exactly ever since nursing school i never do things ahead of time thank goodness i made it through..but i want to change it coz the first time i took my nclex i started studying when i received my ATT and I scheduled it right away giving me 6weeks or less to study then I freaked out becoz i wasn't really prepared and all I knew i was going to fail and i did.. Submitted my reapplication to the bon around the 3rd week of december
I have my materials all ready and study plan.. I do q&a's but really study study not there yet.. I know it's an important test that is why I'm asking for help or insights or someone who will pressure me to study!!!

Just set goals, make a checklist. Crossing things off ALWAYS makes me feel better. I pick page numbers and specific questions. I also plan more than I know I could get done because I start freaking out and working harder. If I don't finish it all at the end of the day, I don't let it get to me because looking back, I am happy with what I accomplished. Also, study with someone? My boyfriend is in med school and we're studying completely different things, but it helps to have a companion.
Also, I've been studying online with someone where we discuss tasks and complete them so when we meet the next day, we discuss it. You can join, if you'd like!

Thanks i will certainly do the checklist thing.. I freak out too if i don't get things done by the sched i tend to study a lot of topics that i'm sure i wont be able to cover in one day i would just scan my notes so it's not really quality studying.. I would love to join your little study sesh!!!
