Normal to feel like you are SO NOT READY the night before??

hey, take it from someone who just took that crazy mess of a test, know matter how much studying you do, you will never feel ready.

The test is crazy! there were tons of meds I never heard of, teaching questions about obscure mess. I guessed a lot, just get some sleep tonight.:uhoh21:

UP until tonight I have felt like I was really preparing myself well...now all of a sudden I feel like I don't know enough..I keep reviewing things over and over again and thinking that I Need more study time, although I am so fried from studying I don't think I could study more even if I had the extra days to!! Is this normal?

I was a basket case (reference the posts I made 24 hours ago). I took the test this morning and after 75 questions I walked out thinking "Whaaa? That was it?" Now, take this with a grain of salt because I don't have my results....but the test was common sense. I never once felt like I was losing control of the test. Of course, I ran into some meds I wasnt sure about or a teaching question that baffled me...but all in all the test was just another test. It is no big MONSTER MYSTERY test like I feared. I was sure glad I knew what St.Johns Wort was for etc b/c I think my test was sponsored by its manufacturer

:trout:

Be confident and go kick butt!!!!

You probably took the test already by now, but yes, it is very normal to feel out of sorts the day before. I tuned it out to the best of my ability and went to sleep early. Actually slept well. Good luck!
