And my brain is fried!!!!! I have been studying/reviewing for the past 1 1/2 months, but have been studying heavily for the past week, average of 3-4 hours every day(sometimes more), going back & forth between my Saunders review book & CD-rom. However, my level of concentration yesterday was very poor. I couldn't take doing questions for longer than 20 minutes at a time. Also, when answering the questions on the cd-rom yesterday, my scores were not as high as they had been in the past days/weeks. And I keep mixing up which medication classification has which side effect/adverse effect.

Do you think I have mental burnout from all the studying? Should I just stop & relax the rest of today or continue on studying until bedtime tonight? I have all the confidence in the world that I'll be fine come exam time. But with this exam, you just never know................

Do NOT study today. take a breather because you will need it. I took the test yesterday and I'm glad I took the day before off for studying. You sound like you are prepared. Good luck!

Good Luck on your test! :) You are probably burnt out. I know I felt that way before my test after studying so much.

Good luck! Have a good breakfast before the test. High protein and high carb, but lay off anything greasy to avoid the queasies. You can do this!!!
