My NCLEX is only 4 days away. The closer I get to it, the worse I seem to be performing on review. My husband says Im overstudying and I feel I havent done enough. AND WORSE OF ALL, I CANT GET THESE MEDS DOWN. I think my nerves are getting the best of me and I am slowly losing confidence. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you in advance.:confused:

To add to the pain, it seems all of my classmates are passing and I am afraid to be the 1st to fail.

I can tell you I never did well on my reviews and I still passed the NCLEX (well I got the good "pop up" will know tomorrow if I passed or not) So don't let it get you down. I took off a day of studying then I studied the night before and in the parking lot LoL....Don't let the reviews get you down because I did VERY POOR on them too!!! As long as you are not getting like half of the questions wrong, I guess. Like, I took (2) 125 test before the NCLEX and the 1st time I missed 60 out of 125 and the second time I missed I think it was like 39 out of 125 then I just stopped taking them but they are good to take and read the rationale on why it was wrong. Hope to help!!!

I am taking mine on the 22nd. I do not want to change the date because I believe no matter what I will feel this way.

MEkblizz: POSITIVE THINKING!

"I can do this! I'll pass the NCLEX!"..I mean, seriously, you gave it your all, right? what have you not done? :)

give yourself a beak the day before. That sickening feeling can sometimes be a good sign.

Best of all, just pray and lift it up to God. :) it works

We are in the same boat I take mine in on the 3 days and I cant help but to think "what if" but I agree with another post that positive thinking is the only thing that's going to get us through the next couple of days- just put it this way its already been done just stay confident :)

The last two days for me were the worst. I think I was so burnt out with reading, and practice test-taking that my brain was ready to shut down, hence the lower test scores. The night before give yourself a break. Right before your test, quickly review the parts that give you the most anxiety. I found that really helped me, not only to calm down when I was in the testing room, but also with the content on my exam. Good luck!
