The first thing you have GOT to do is calm down and believe in yourself. I took the test yesterday and according to the pearson vue trick I passed. It was my second time taking it and I truley feel like I failed the first time because of anxiety. I couldnt think clearly and I freaked out during the exam. You need to take deep breaths and pray to God for peace and that his precence will be with you one that day. I asked him for angles and a clear sence of mind and peace, and sure enough he answered them!!! Ok on the other hand... you need to hit hard on percautions, those are upper level questions and really easy to get them right beucase it's strickly memorization. I had atleast 10 questions over that topic. Theres a thread that someone posted that has the pneumonics for it and I was able to answer the quesitons with out a doubt becuase of that. So def get your hands on that printout. The next thing you should focus on is Endocrine. Open whatever book you can, and know it forward and backward. Of course lastly, focus on all your lab values. I felt like these three topics and of course meds were 80% of my exam and others seem to be having the same. Look up your common drugs and side effects, primarily Psych and of course beta blockers "olol", Calcium channel blockers "dipine," cholestoral "statin", Proton pump inhibitors which I think was "pril" and you will be golden. Wish you the best of luck. Oh... and according to your scores they are just fine. I averaged around 50 to I think my highest was 60 on those questions from Kaplan. Practice is good but you truely have to know your content. If you feel like you need a couple more days just reschedule for next week. You can do it, if you believe in yourself!!! ( : Good luck!!!
