Oct 12, 201312 yr Anyone else felt like crying before their big exam? I'm super stressed and scared. I'm not really sure if I'm ready or over prepared.
Oct 14, 201312 yr Yes. I was also super stressed right before the exam. Right before the exam, I just reviewed facts that I had trouble remembering.
Oct 14, 201312 yr nope, if you let yourself focus on those feelings thats exactly how you'll enter the test. Relax the day before, schedule your test at a time that works best for you. Focus on staying calm, collected and focused. Good luck!
Oct 14, 201312 yr I did cry today actually. I take mine the 18th & have a job interview tomorrow morning. I feel like this week has so much riding on it. =\. I keep trying to just stay calm because freaking out definitely won't help.

Oct 14, 201312 yr Just try to relax and go over the basics and relaxation/calming techniques for during the exam. :)Good luck mfierce and NoSweethrtOfTheRodeo. I take my NCLEX-PN on the 16th.
Oct 17, 201312 yr Well, I don't know how I did yet, but I walked out feeling fine. I had the jitters/major anxiety before my test even started, and had to take a break within the first 10 minutes. But the proctors were very kind and helped to reassure me. After that the time and my test just flew by. It helped me to use ear plugs, which they will provide for you if you ask, and put equal thinking and concentration into each question. Don't worry/stress if it takes longer to answer than you are used to, it is better to sit and think for a minute than to rush and confuse yourself. I did try the trick and got the "good pop-up" so I feel confident. Now to play the waiting game for my results. :)
Oct 17, 201312 yr Well, one more day to get quick results from Pearson, but I have an active license according to the board. I am so happy :)
