hi, it's normal to not feel like you're ready, or 'forget' things you studied. Days before my exam, I felt like I still didn't know anything that I studied. The exam tests you on random questions, and it's impossible to study everything. When you're taking the exam, the questions will make you recall things that you've studied that you THOUGHT you had forgotten.
you know everything you need to know. just do lots of practice questions from now. and read all the rationales. those will help A LOT.
if you feel like you need to, look at some content for brief review. dont study study, just briefly read
questions and rationales are KEY for you right now.
good luck!
Thank you, I purchased so many books that I ended up returning, because I knew I couldn't finish all of them . I'm doing Kaplan questions and my score is not so great . It's in the 50s . I want to the NCSBN review but I'm not too sure. I'm testing at the end of September .

I feel the same way. My test will be on sept8. Oztizz184 what did you do 10days before your test? Today my goal is to finish all the hurst videos.
I just did questions and rationales 10th day to exam day.
1 week Before my exam, i did the kaplan questions found online, test 1,2,5,6,7
i scored between 60-70s
but the score didnt really matter, it was the rationales
I also read the study guide not by allnurses and read that like once a day, like 1/2 of it a day.
day before i did the study guide, reviewed labs, and nothing else
