I'm sure you'll do fine. You have done everything you can to help in your success in passing. And the odds of passing are better than the odds of not. And should you not pass, remember, you DO have the knowledge, its not that you are too stupid to be a nurse.

I was surprisingly calm myself the entire time waiting for my test date (I only had 3 days between getting my ATT and my test date so I didn't have that weeks of worrying). I was very calm the night before, the morning of and the drive to the test. I was fine walking in, and waiting to be registered. The second they escorted me into the room, thats when the heart started racing and the butterflies in the belly woke up

Again, try to remain relaxex. Do NOT pick up a book today, do NOT put in that computer CD..do something for yourself! You'll do fine, I'm sure. Can't wait to see the "I passed post" on Wednesday :)

Good luck tomorrow!!! I also take the big test tomorrow. I wish I were as confident as you. Hopefully by the time comes to take the test, I'll feel a lot better (which I doubt, lol).

Your calmness and confidence will do you well. I also felt pretty good going into the test. Remember to remain as calm and confident as able. A little anxiety can be a positive thing as it focuses your mind. I think that is what you are feeling when you read the posts and worry about the possibility of failing. It is human nature. When I read your post, it reminded me of myself before my test. Go in, take a deep breath and conquer the beast. I look forward to seeing your post that you have passed. Good Luck!!!!

Good Luck. Break a leg!

Im taking my NCLEX tomorrow too. And am also finding myself feeling extremely calm and confident. Im calling it the calm before the storm. Your post sums up my feelings to the tee.

The only thing is im going to have to wait a few weeks for my results because my school hasn't sent the boards my transcripts. And they won't release the results until my file is full.

So you guys might see me venting on here.

Im off to the hotel to have a day by the pool and a bloody mary or two.

The day has finally arrived! I'll be taking the NCLEX tomorrow at 2 p.m. I'm suprisingly feeling calm and confident about tomorrow. I've done everything I can.. thousands of questions, took a review course, studied content and anytime I came across a med/equipment/disease I looked it up so I could recognize it. I'm going into this test with no regrets! Hopefully all of my hardwork will pay off. My emotions keep going back and forth regarding if I think I will pass or not.. I know that I have the knowledge and I understand "how" to take the test, but then I read threads about people not passing and I get this feeling inside.. What if it happens to me.. but I have confidence in myself and I know I can do this! And so can everyone else! If we didn't have the capability and knowledge to pass this test, we wouldn't have gotten this far!! I want to thank everyone for their contributions to the threads in this forum.. I've religiously checked in daily to read new facts.. they've helped my studying tremendously! The next time I post, I will hopefully be a RN Wish me luck!

I too was strangely calm when I went in to test, and I passed with 75 questions! You too will pass. Good luck

Well I just got home from the exam.. and like I've heard a lot.. I have noooo clue! It shut off at 75 q, about 6-7 SATA, 3 put in order, 1 calc... I went into the exam thinking, if I get 75 questions I know that I passed because I thought I knew enough that I wouldn't bomb.. but I honestly have no clue now! I had such a mixture of emotions.. I was hoping thati t would shut off at 75.. but as the exam went on I was hoping for more since I wasn't sure how I was doing! I guess we'll see.. Best of luck to the rest who have to take it

WOW! :eek: I wish I had your calmness & confidence and my test is 2 weeks away! I keep going back and forth with regards to I can do it and I'm going to be sick. On the one hand I think I know my stuff ok, but doubt has a sneaky way of creeping in. I hope you do well and your calmness stays with you. I look foward to an update saying " I passed ". :nurse: GOOD LUCK!
