I will be taking my test next week and the anxiety is killing me!! I can sleep, I can hardly eat and i cant concentrate doing anymore questions. I keep telling myself I should study a little more and do more questions until the day before the test, but I DONT WANT TO ANYMORE!!! Im finding it hard to concentrate when all i can think about is the infamous day!!! Any suggestions to calm myself down...

Hey AnaBanana12!
I'm in the same boat as you. I take the test on Monday at 8 am. At this point, all you can do is pray and put it in God's hands. I have studied till I think I can't study anymore. Yesterday, I had done so many questions, that I started getting them wrong, I think just because my head is overflowing with information and I'm just plain tired of doing this. Tomorrow, I am going to church, out to lunch, and to the movies. I may review BRIEFLY, but that's it. My friend took the NCLEX last week and the marker board that you use in the test (like an etch-a-sketch), well she put 75at the top and it and cirlcled it! I kept telling her she was going to get 75 and she did! The power of positive thinking really works! At least, I hope it does. Good Luck to you!

I feel the same way. Mine is scheduled for the 18th. I'm tired of doing questions.

I'm taking mine too next week...on Thursday and I am slightly freaking out now...though not as much as this morning.....but i have been reviewing and deep down inside...i feel like i can pass this thing. I think it may be a sign...but nonetheless I'm trying to stay positive and that I will beat this exam...hopefully. Good luck to you!!! 4 more days left for me!
I am taking the test on the same day too!! Youre right. We need to stay calm and CONFIDENT!! I know we can do this!! :)

I have until a week from wednesday, the 19th. Question Trainer #5 finished this morning with a 63%. I've been low-to-mid 60's for all of them, very consistent. I'm feeling pretty good at this point; if I can keep the scores in this range, I can make it!
Deep breathing still :)

hey i got a 63 in Question Trainer 5 too :) will be taking 6 later today...not looking forward to doing 200 questions though.... I've been consistent in all of them up in the 60's too..except one. Keep up the good work :) 4 more days left for me
Hang tough!! I'm starting to believe I just won't see a grade higher than the 65 I got on an early QTrainer test again. At least I'm consistent, lol....
It took about two hours and 45 minutes to do the 150 questions today.....I hate the idea of 200 questions, and then 250!! But, hey, at least it's good BLADDER training for the nclex, lol.....yeah, I know I can take breaks, but I also know ME: I WON'T get my butt off that seat until the screen goes blue and the world crashes in on me!
