:nailbiting: I am very stressed about taking this exam on Tuesday! I feel like I've studied a lot and the next minute I feel like I haven't studied nearly enough!

Took the ATI Live Review the last semester, and doing all their practice tests and LR tests, doing lots of ?'s, etc..

My school also did the Live Review and I did the LR tests. They were really good and I definitely feel like doing a ton of questions was helpful to me. Good luck!! :-)

I took my test on the 18th and am still waiting for official results but got the good pop up (live in Cali...no quick results and from what I have heard takes the BRN 2-3 weeks to post). I am going to share some tips that helped me. Take the day off before your exam and just relax. You know what you know unless you are great at cramming. Give your brain a break and take the day off. Try to get a good nights sleep...I know...easier said than done but do what you can! The day of do some relaxation breathing when you sit down in the testing center. As soon as I finished the tutorial I closed my eyes, said a little prayer and took some slow deep breaths before opening my eyes and getting started. I didn't care if I looked like a fool. I don't know these people and will probably never see them again. Really take your time during the test...you have 6 hours if you get all questions. I would read through the question then chose an answer and read back through the question again to be sure I understood it and then confirm my answer and before submitting I would take a deep breath then release it and hit next if I was sure of my answer. I was freaked out when it shut off after question 75! I wasn't sure if I passed or failed. I felt sick to my stomach. It was the worst feeling in the world. I tried to do the PVT and my results said "Ready for Delivery" so I tried again a few minutes later and got the same thing. Called my friend and talked to her on the drive home to calm my nerves. Rechecked it when I got home and it was still saying "Results Ready for Delivery". So frustrating. After about 30 minutes it finally said "Results Delivered" I was afraid to go any further but did and got the good pop up. Now it has been 5 days of torture waiting for official results. From what I have heard it could be at least another 10-15 days. Ughhhhh!

Took the exam this morning, took my time (maybe too much on some questions)...I feel sooo sure I failed it. The computer shut off at 75 questions but I had SATA questions right after the other...! :drowning:. You miss one option and you get the whole question wrong!

Out of all the meds in the world, I have to get ones I've not heard of or dealt with at all- I mean....am I doomed, really???

Feel like I'm going to be sick :cry:
