preventing study burnout?

I want to prepare myself well by doing as many questions as I can, but at the same time I don't want to get burned out before I even take the exam (which I plan to take late May, early June). How did you NCLEX-conquering RNs prevent and/or minimize study burnout?

If you have a study plan in place, I would refrain from any 'intense' study until 6 weeks prior to your exam. When I was in intense study node, I tried to do 100-200 questions a day. I was also working at the time.

Make sure to get enough sleep, eat healthy snacks, and hydrate enough. You won't benefit much by forcing yourself to study while mentally fatigued, so take breaks (or the day off) if you have trouble understanding the question/ rationale.

Is this your first time taking the exam? Having proper study guides are key.

Good luck!

do questions, review topics you're not familiar with. review first what you're having difficulty with. take your time. if you study so many hours a day you'll definitely get drained, like what happened to me before. download the Pomodoro app, so it can keep track as to when you will study and how long, and it goes on alarm if you have to take a break. list down your monthly plan (what you will achieve by the whole month), weekly plan of studying and your daily plans. it's okay if you wont be able to follow everything, atleast you've done more than half of it, you can adjust the next days. what's important is you have progress. also, make sure to have a day off once a week to let loose. if you couldnt, and feel guilty not studying, just go over your notes but don't go too hard on it like how you do during your usual study days. let your brain rest.
