Sooner...or later...

Published

ATI predictor gave me a 98% chance of passing first try...

Kaplan scores vary for about a 68% average...

I test Thursday, I graduated at the top of my class...Why am I still so scared?

In addition to Q bank and various other question banks, I have gone for a massage, multiple hikes, pedicures, haircut...Anything to feel good about me...

So...Why this overwhelming sense of doom?

I test Thursday...I am thinking of stopping my studies now and just trying to relax...Is that crazy? My mind knows better but my body is in fight or flight...It's 0430 and no sleep for me tonight....:confused:

Hey! I am in the same boat. My test is Tuesday, 21st, and I am scared too. I know I know my stuff too. I made As and Bs in school, and I got a 95% on my ATI predictor. I think we are just scared because we know how much is riding on this test. We CAN do it! Just stay positive! :)

If you are testing Thursday, the appropriate thing to do is stopping and relaxing. Work on your relaxation techniques. They might come in handy for the test. Good luck.

I felt the same way before I tested on Saturday. Definitely practice your relaxation techniques, maybe download some soothing music, whatever works for you. You know your stuff - be confident in your knowledge!

just relax....do not get too anxious before the test (I KNOW easier said than done right? ) but.it will only hurt your critical thinking ability!

Take a sleeping pill (woldn't suggest the night before) but I had to do that 2 nights before..bc I didn't even realize hwo stressed I was, until my body was showing signs of stress (inability to sleep)

Ok so I tested today at 2PM...It took me 2 hours and 15 minutes and the computer shut off at 75 questions...I checked the Pearson Vue trick as soon as it said delivery successful and got the good pop up! I am hoping it really is true!

I used Kaplan Q bank, it seems that it was very much like the real NCLEX...I used some other stuff too, but mostly gave up on it in favor of Kaplan. :heartbeat still freaking out though!
