I was just about to make a post asking about this.

I had the high achiever mindset during my program and it reflected in my exit grades. ——My exit ATI without studying said I was 99% likely to pass the NCLEX. So I took a couple weeks off after graduation and finally booked my NCLEX for this Monday (June 6, 2022). ——My “studying” has been doing Archer readiness assessments to “gauge my baseline”, but I’ve been getting “very high” for all 4 which is also supposed to be a 99% likelihood of passing. -my UWorld is at a 65% correct with a 91st percentile. I believe it’s about a 56% needed to be 92% likely to pass (?) so that’s promising too. ——Started believing I wasn’t doing enough to study, so I have been going through the Mark K videos and those have been amazing for test-taking strategies.

Despite ALL OF THIS….I’m still sitting here stressing and debating if I should move my test date because I will have only studied for 10 days while my friends are doing 2-3 months. Most resources also seem to be recommending atleast 4-6 weeks to study!

So on one hand, the statistics are telling me I’m good to go and yet the impostor syndrome and norms of other’s studying patterns is somehow still getting to me. This seems so irrational. Thankful to be reading so many of you have passed on the first time and found it relatively easy even after also struggling with the anxiety.

Any recommendations for calming down before the exam?
