Not Feeling Prepared Ever...

[tostu]

I am taking my boards in a little over a week. I have been studying for a little over a month, am doing well as far as testing and answering questions as well as using a few study sources. I am not having a lot of trouble understanding the information or retaining it, I just feel like I don't know if I am prepared or not!

Anyone else having this problem, either for those who have or will be taking the exam? I know it's hard to really feel confident since the test has such a wide array of possibilities, I guess I am just not used to feeling this way.

Thanks for everyone's input! I've been doing Saunder's, part book and also the entire 4 week online review course. I've also been doing the La Charity book, will be finishing it a few days before the exam. Along with that, I have been utilizing random facts found throughout this forum and study guides posted as well. I also will be finishing the "Exam Cram" before the test. I think everyone is right, you just have to go in and do it. I am leaving for Vegas about a week after my exam, so I keep looking forward to that. There's no way I would postpone until after Vegas, I might lose quite a few brain cells over there .

I take mine on Wednesday, and have been doing the NCLEX 3500 and bought the Kaplan review from B&N. And I have to say, I'm glad my exam is in the morning, b/c the reivew questions I did in the morning I was in the 80%, the ones I did in the evening and late afternoon, 70 and 60s(I just did 75 questions, and got a 68%, guess I'm not an evening tester). I know how you feel, that you will NEVER be prepared, I have thought about postponing for another week, but at the same time, I don't want to just keep putting it off. Just gotta do it! Best of luck to you!!
