NOT Focused

Published

I am currently waiting on my ATT for the state board and I'm supposed to be studying. I cannot focus long enough at all. I don't know what to do. I worry about how I will be able to stand to take the test let alone actually pass. I pray. I take Zoloft for my anxiety. Nothing is working. Stressed to the max now. 😭 Please help with suggestions.

I gave myself a month after graduating to study. Do you know when I started to really study? 7 days before my exam. The first 2 days were "casual" studying but the last 5 days I slept, ate, and breathed questions. I was crying myself to bed, spending $30+ on coffee a day, and dreaming questions. What really helped me get into study mode...

I registered for my exam date and REFUSED to allow myself to reschedule (unless it was last day and I truly believed I couldn't do it)

I left my house and went to a coffee shop (libraries were too quiet. Starbucks was too loud. Find a nice private coffee shop)

I studied with another classmate who was gonna take boards the same week as me (I felt like a bum if I didn't study and they were studying)

&& QUESTIONS! I used UWORLD so I saw how many questions I had left, how many I had done, and how many I needed to get done. Seeing that number really helped. Aim to do 75 questions per sitting because that is the minimum you're going to be faced with. I did sit down and do one practice test of 150 and was restless so I stuck to 75Q.

Focus! YOU GOT THIS
