Hi Everyone,

First, let me say, this forum has been an amazing place to garner support, advice, and education throughout this long, intense, nerve wracking process. I’ve lurked much more than I have posted, but it’s been great nonetheless. I’m a week away from what is hopefully the last time I’ll every have to experience the joys of a Prometric center, but am starting to get so nervous about this final exam. I have these terrible thoughts, like I’m just going to blank out and never be able to get over the final hurdle needed to accomplish this goal. My last section is BEC and so far the review is going about as well as any of the others, but the content is just so wide. I have no idea how to allocate my time over this final week. There are definitely weak area that I know I need to hit, and I plan to, but man I can’t shake this feeling. Anyone else ever experienced this? I’m sure a lot of us have. Anyways, how do you relax your mind the week leading up to the exam? Any recommendations? I exercise fairly regularly, so I was thinking that’d help, but not so much this time around. Anyways, your thoughts and suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks!

I almost had an anxiety attack before the 1st exam I took. For the remaining 3 exams, I studied to a point where I believed there was nothing more I could possibly do. I still got anxious, but nothing like the first anxiety-attack-like experience I had before my first exam.

I'm a lurker coming out of hiding. Based on your previous scores, my guess is you're going to kick a$$ and will work out the kinks of your weak(er) areas. I am taking my first section tomorrow and I have no advice to offer. I'm a mess so posting to commiserate, lol. I went to the dentist last week convinced I had a cavity but apparently, it's just stress. Good luck!!!

Yea, I guess the first and last are the most mentally challenging lol. Honestly, I feel more nervous than my first exam. This is crazy. Just this sinking feeling like I won't pass, even though prior results say differently. I need a therapists haha.

You got this A-Rish. We all have our waves of anxiety that come and go. The thing is that when the exam opens up on your computer you WILL remember everything. BEC isn't so bad as long as you do good on the writing section and the MCQs. You can be weaker in the sims and still get by. You GOT THIS.
