I'm testing in 2 weeks. I'm also very anxious, but honestly I want this to be over with. I'm burnt out from reading, answering questions, and most especially worrying. I'm doing Hurst Online Review, and I'm still on the process of mastering the book. I also do LaCharity questions, and I've done 6 Chapters so far. My scores vary from high 50s to low 80s. I did 2 Q-trainers from Kaplan, and my scores are 57% and 63%. I tried reading Saunders but I got too overwhelmed, so I stuck with Hurst instead. I've also listened to FEUER audio review for almost 5 times now.

My weak points:

I'm very poor in meds, and SATA questions. I'm doing Mosby flashcards to improve my Meds, but I don't know what to use to improve my SATA. I'm also poor in positioning, especially with tractions, post-op positions, cast, amputations, etc. I'm planning to read the Positioning Chapter on Saunders to improve on this part. And I don't know a lot of the normal values. I still have to memorize them.

My strong points:

I feel like I'm doing good with Pysch questions. I don't feel any difficulty answering them, and I get them right almost all the time. I'm feel like I don't have difficulty answering F&E, endocrine, and delegation questions. I'm average with Prioritization and Infection Control.

At this point, I've realized that there's no way I can learn it all. So the only thing I can do is to pray and pray a lot that God will grant me wisdom. I've done my best in preparing for this exam, and now I'm lifting it all to Him. Like my teacher use to say "do your best and God will do the rest".
