i have been studying since january...i feel so overwhelmed and over "stuffed" and i just scheduled my exam...and now im just tired of studying...i dont wanna lose the flow...what to do?

I know how you feel, so what I do now is 50 questions minimum so that I am still doing questions but if I start feeling exhausted then I take a break watch tv or call a friend and then I go back to it.

Just continue doing questions but it is best to do a minimum amount of question and concentrate than to do a lot and not be focused. When did you graduate? Maybe you need a few days off.Maybe you should focus on your weak areas instead of doing a ton.

Keep up the good work and in the end I am sure it will all work out. You will be happy you are well prepared :)

If you have another 4 weeks then may be worth considering taking a couple days off and giving your brain chance to relax. Studying since Jan is a long time and it may be you just need a break before the final push.

thank you but i think its more like 3 weeks before the exam...june 18,19?

you can still afford to take a couple of days off even if 3 weeks away. even 24 hours rest will get your brain back in gear. carrying on studying when you say you already feel overwhelmed and over "stuffed" isn't going to help

thank you silverdragon...im going to take today off...watch a movie...drive somewhere, watch the sunset, jog...sleep early then get back on track...i need this break badly...

You will hopefully feel better having the break. I would also suggest taking the day off before the exam as well

have a great day and try not to come on here :)
