and I am nervous. It is cumulative, everything we have learned this semester. I finished theory last week with an A : ) In this class I am also getting an A but the final counts for so, so much. I have studied 16 hours over the last 2 days, all the sample and NCLEX questions are starting to look the same. I think I have studied enough, then I look at another sample question and get it wrong. Think I am starting to psych myself out. However, I think I will go take a break, actually eat something and settle in for a good nights rest..

Im on the same boat. My final is on Thursday, I literally just read over all the powerpoints my professor has up and focused on the ones i had the most trouble with. But now I feel like ive studied so much over these past few days that everything just seems so scrambled ahhh, do you suggest any websites as far as those nclex style questions go?

Try to let yourself rest.

Study for a couple hours, then take a short break. Your brain can only deal with so much information before it checks out and all that work is wasted. And don't psych yourself out, you've gotten this far and have good grades. :)

I suggest quizlet for fundamentals questions, they always seem to have good outlines of the chapters too.

Good luck!

Take your time. Go slowly. Read each question thoroughly. After reading the question, pick out the key words it's asking. Then read each answer. Don't select an answer until you've read each one. Which one directly answers the question? If you have to add "well, this would be best if..." it's the wrong answer.

Best of luck on your final! Let us know when you've passed :)
