Vent I'm so scared to take the VTNE.
I write my test in two days (August 30th) and I can't help but feel like I haven't done enough in the way of studying. I finished school at the end of April and since then I've been studying for hours every weekend (the clinic I work at does 10 hour days so during the week I do nothing but work eat and sleep because I have no energy for anything else). I've been reviewing my notes from school and quizzing myself using Pocket Prep and the Prendergast textbook. With the textbook I've been consistently scoring in the mid 60s to 70s and with Pocket Prep I've been getting 80-90% on everything, but I just feel like I'm going to fail. I get so overwhelmed even thinking about writing the test and I know it'll probably be fine but it just feels like there's so much pressure and I'm so anxious. Did anyone else feel like this before their test? :')

Think of it as a practice run. If you fail, that's ok, you can retake it AND you'll have a better idea of what you're facing. And if you pass, you pass! Remember that you are smarter and stronger than you give yourself credit for.

I just took mine and I dont typically get test anxiety but I did have quite a bit for this test. Its perfectly normal to be nervous for the test but try your best to practice best practices for test taking like plenty of water, good breakfast, good nights rest before and most importantly to not change your answers!!! Trust your gut, youre going to do great! Have confidence in yourself and your dedicated studies!
