Last night, while I'm scanning some of my notes, I realized that I cannot absorb what I am reading anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this normal??
So far here are my scores in Kaplan QTrainer:
TEST 1: 77%
TEST 2: 72%
TEST 3: 69%
TEST 4: 67%
TEST 5: 67%
My scores are getting lower and lower!
I'm so tired already!!!
Reading and answering questions almost everyday and waiting for the date of my exam.
I'm so stressed out!!

The tests in qtrainer get more difficult as you progress through to 7. It is normal for your scores to go down a bit. As long as you are above 65% on 7 you are in good shape. I have known people who had 55% on 7 and they still passed fine. Hang on and don't let the stress over take you. Your scores look good. Keep reviewing but take some breaks too!

Why don't you take a break, go for a walk in the garden, and relax. You will be fine. Good luck.

After reading this post. I would highly recommend you take two days off. One of the things people don't realize is anxiety plays a major role in your success when taking the exam. It has nothing to do with luck or "the good PC". It's confidence in oneself and the ability to apply knowledge. When I studied for my second time at the NCLEx. I scheduled days off. So for every 8 days I took one off. It really helps relax the brain and calm the soul. Being nervous doesn't help anyone. So do yourself a favor and take two days off and be amazed on how to you feel when you come back to the grind!

Don't get discouraged! When I hit the point you are at I took a break, (great advice from everyone), then, I personally just went back and went over the sections that I knew I was weak in. I was not at the top of my class but I passed both the pn and rn with minimum questions. Go with your gut. They don't pass many people through school who don't have the know-how and knowledge to pass. Deep breaths.

I think its normal to feel that way. That is exactly how I felt. The night before the exam I spent 1 hour just skimming thru my Hurst folder. I just couldnt look at it anymore. I felt disgusted with everything. Some 4 days before the exam I stopped taking the practice exams because my scores were also getting lower and that was making my anxiety go thru the roof. You get to a point where you just cant take anything else in. Thats when u need to slow down and realize that by now you either know it or you dont and that will just have to do. You cant know it all...its just too much. So, hang in there...its almost over. Good luck to you!
