When did you stop studying for NCLEX?

pie123 · Jun 27, 2005

Hello! I'm taking NCLEX this Friday and was wondering when you all thought I should stop doing my practice questions. (I've completed 4000 so far over the past 5-6 weeks) Should I stop Wednesday night? Or should I do some more on Thursday too? Tell me what you think! Thanks!

Some people do say to stop 2 days before your test. I definitely didn't study the day before my test. For me it was because I didn't want to freak myself out if I scored lower than I thought I should on something. I just knew something like that would stress me out--especially the day before my test. Also, it's probably good to let your brain relax before the test. Good luck.

I took off the day before the test to relax and let my brain rest. :)

I'm guilty of studying right up until the minute I got out of my car to go into the exam building :chuckle but that's just the way I've always been. Most people say to take off the day before your exam and it seems to work well for them and let them relax and clear their minds before the test. I guess whatever works best for you! GOOD LUCK!!
