hi all. i'm pretty new here and am looking for some help and advice. I'm taking the nclex-pn in a week and i'm freaking. I can't seem to focus on anything and got study block that I can't believe. Been studying using exam cram, a little saunders 3200 ?s only did 700 (it so vast!) and tried the kaplan review book which i'm not doing too well on and i don't feel like anything is penetrating. had 80s-90s in school but only doing like 50-60s in kaplan and in the other books and cd. I'm starting to feel like I didn't learn anything in school. do you just keep going over the questions in the book/cd and memorize the rationals? I've tried the saunders book but with so many questions I feel like i'm lost and not hit on the content that I need to. I don't know where to focus. I'm at the point of puking!! I have so much riding on this test and although I keep telling myself failure is not an option i'm afraid that's where i'm headed. Can anyone suggest where I should be focusing? Should I stick to the crams and forget the saunders? i'm so lost... any advice as how to approach this? i feel like i'm running out of time before my test date. so sad. I'm not the fastest reader and getting buried in a lot of reading could create a huge set back for me. Please HELP!!
