I agree with splinter, I didnt know what to do before I took the test, ppl were saying relax but I couldn't! So I studied until I walked into the testing center! Lol! Then after my test, I did pearson vue trick, then I relaxed! I have been taking naps like crazy!!!! I took my test on November 4th.

Nobody can tell you to study yourself silly or dont study anymore and relax. It depends on how you process things. I didnt study, because the more i study, the more confused i get when it comes down to taking the test. I took it back in the 90's when it was still a written test (actually, it was the last written test given in KY before they changed to computer testing). In my opinion, by now, you either know it or you dont. But the relaxing part doesn't come until you've got your test scores back.

I took my test and got 85 questions, it was kinda hard. The reason why it was so hard is because all of the answers seem like they are good! Lol! But, when I walked out of the testing center I didn't know how to feel. I didn't know if I should be excited or cry. I felt as if I failed! So I got home and did the pearson vue trick, and I got the famous pop up! Then two days later I found out I passed. I graduated in july and did my review for 2 months, then I just did questions for a month after my review. Your gonna do what feels good to you, I felt better doing questions and looking over lab values. I think I had one lab value question, but a lot of priority and some infection control, and a few select all that apply, and MED questions!!! I am bad in pharm! But I must have gotten the questions right. Good Luck!
