I took my test today I was not nervous or anything until I left then I felt like I could not catch my breath. But as far as the test prioritize and always remember your abc's the test is just the basics.

The test was a breeze. I took mine in Dec of 04 and had 85 questions and was done in about 45 min. I knew when I walked out the door I had passed. The key is in the preparation. Stop studying NOW and give yourself a few days to calm down. If you dont know it by now its probably too late at this point to catch up. I did about 7000 questions for practice and to be honest i could have done less and probably passed. Relax, if you did well in school and passed all your practice tests you will have no worries with it.....goood luck

I took the test yesterday and hated it! I thought is was alot different than questions from my Saunders book. I had about 15 priority questions where 4 people have horrible things wrong with them and you are supposed to pick the pt. you would check on first. It seemed I could narrow most of my questions down to 2 and then I would have to guess. I got a ton of TB questions for some reason, really weird herb/ food interactions and random drug questions. The calculations were easy, but mine were fill in the blank. I also got a ton of maternity and peds stuff, not my strong point! After taking the test I realized it is hard to prepare for. I did my Saunders book and the 3,000 practice questions, but some of the questions on the test were like out of left field. I got all A's in school and always felt confident about tests until this one... I find out how I did tomorrow.

Good luck on your test today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You will do great! It's a hard test, but everyone always does better than they think they do. I just found out 2 hours ago I passed, and I was *seriously* convinced I had failed the whole thing.

Keep us posted.:)
