Aizzuria

About 3 weeks ago I took my first attempt at the NCLEX-RN exam. I admit I was sick when I took it but not the kind of sick that should have affected my score. I received all 265 questions on the exam and, also admittedly, I began to freak out after 175. I tried taking a break but that made my nerves worse... Anyway, I did not pass. Since I got all 265 questions I know I was extremely close to passing. Does anyone have any ideas of how to better prepare myself for the next exam? I am currently taking the remedial course form HURST review and a friend of mine is quizzing me on terms. That said, I don't think that content is my problem. I don't know how to keep myself from getting nervous and I have never had this problem with any other type of exam so I don't know how to counteract it. Since I didn't pass the first time I think my anxiety might be even worse the next time I take it. Can anyone give me some ideas of how to make myself less anxious? I did make sure that this time my exam is nearby and early in the morning so that I don't have time to fester thinking about it before hand. (Last time my exam was in the afternoon so I had all morning to sit and think about it. I couldn't even read my review I was so scared!) Any help would be appreciated! I can't afford to take the exam a third time (for multiple reasons, but the main one being I just don't have the money.)
