It sounds to me like you are well prepared! I did a lot of SATA practice questions in the week before taking my NCLEX and I'm glad I did because about 1/3 of my test was SATA questions. I would just continue to do practice questions, more content review isn't going to help you (besides maybe lab values). The day before, don't study and try to relax. Go out and do something fun like seeing a movie or shopping to take your mind off things! During the test I kept telling myself I was just taking practice questions at home and that seemed to help reduce my nerves. Good luck!! :)

Practice SATA and alternate format questions. If your test is in the morning, eat breakfast an hour or two ahead of the test. Leave the house early to prevent rushing to the test center. DO NOT study the night before the test, if you don't know the content by then, cramming more questions the night before wont help, it will only increase your stress level. Once the test starts, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths between questions. It will help keep the stress level down. Also, take your hand off the mouse while you read the question, It prevents you from rushing. You obviously are well prepared, the only thing that can sabotage you, is yourself. by high stress levels or going too fast without taking your time with each question. Don't worry about time, it will not be an issue. I had very similar q bank scores and did everything that I mentioned. I finished after 1 hour at 75 questions.

Good luck on your test!! I'm taking mine on december 16th. I prepared with kaplan Qbank questions and kaplan review guide books. I hope we both pass with flying colors. Please keep me posted and let me know if kaplan qbank questions were tougher than the actual test.

Relax this weekened and do not study the day before. Again, good luck :)
