I really like this! "If you panic, you panic, but take a break when you panic." That's advice I'm really going to take. I bought snacks and specifically included my favorite dark chocolate for just before the test and on breaks. I think controlling my emotions will be key. I remember on HESI I really felt I knew absolutely nothing and then got 965. So I'm expecting the test to be all SATA about drugs that I've never heard of, yet somehow I will make it. That's how I'm staying positive. Thanks for the great advice!

Hi everyone, this is my first post! I graduated last month from a pre-licensure MSN program and I'm taking the NCLEX tomorrow! I graduated with a 4.0, did well on HESI, and have studied my butt off the past couple of weeks. How is it possible to feel so prepared and yet so unprepared at the same time?!? I'm taking the test a few days sooner than I had hoped, but that was what was available. I didn't have time for a review course, but I went through the Saunders book, about 500 Kaplan qbank questions, and a few hundred Mosby questions. My big question is how do you deal with emotions/anxiety during the test? I plan to breathe slowly and focus on the question at hand, but I'm afraid if the test goes past 75, that I might start freaking out a little. Any advice?
