NCLEX tomorrow & feeling awful

Published

I take my test tomorrow 8am & I feel like I don't know anything. I've been reading the rationales of several questions I previously answered & I don't know why i picked the answer i picked. I'm like a blank slate at this point. Not sure if it is because I'm stressed or maybe my brain is in info overload, but I'm freaking out at this point. Has anyone felt like this before the test? I feel like I forgot everything I had learned. Even reading through my own notes feels like I'm going over new content. This is just crazy :zombie:

It sounds like you need to take a break and try and relax today. No one ever feels ready and I'm sure you will surprise yourself about how much you do know.

Good luck :)

I'm on the same boat. I'll be taking my exam this Wednesday. I cannot concentrate and I feel that I'm in a blank state. I'm not sure if I retain all the things that I read months before. Thinking of Rescheduling my exam because of this. My anxiety is high. Goodluck with your exam! Best of luck!

I took my NCLEX this morning and felt the same way yesterday. I was so anxious that I could barely concentrate on studying so I just put the books away and tried to relax. So, I think this is pretty normal. Good luck!

Hi I sent you a pm. I have a question. Did you pass?

Thank you for all the comments. I'm starting to think this could be normal. :) I can't wait to be done with this nightmare. There's nothing worst than the waiting.

Hi! I guess I can't pm because I haven't participated in 15 topics yet.. but I had also been studying since May and felt that the earlier I took the test, the better chance I would have at passing. My practice test scores ranged from 60%-76% and I just made sure I read over all of the rationales. I think that it is up to you as to whether or not you should reschedule, but waiting 3 weeks may just cause more anxiety. I felt the same way, but after taking my test today I feel relieved. It cut off at 75 questions and I left the test not knowing what to think. I did the pearsonvue trick and got the "good pop up" so I'm hoping it's right. A friend of mine gave me good advice. She said to just be confident, stay calm, and remember how much we have prepared for this test. Good luck :)

I take the NCLEX in two weeks.. feeling nervous and not sure how much I have retained from my accelerated LPN class. Any suggestions on what to study?

Good luck to you! I felt the same way and I'm sure most of us that took the exam felt the same way. You feel that you're never prepared, not enough info was reviewed, etc. Just take your time to read each question carefully. You already know the information from nursing school. You will be just fine.

It's almost 9 pm! I've been reading all my notes today. I know I should've tried to relax instead, but there are so many things I would like to review again. Hubby offered to give me a long massage so I can go to bed feeling great! :inlove: I hope it helps with the stress. I hope I can sleep! Let's see what happens tomorrow. It's in Gods hands now. Good night to everyone and good luck to those who take NCLEX tomorrow!
