4 Tips for the Night Before Your NCLEX Exam

Your NCLEX exam is scheduled for tomorrow; what should you do? Here are four tips to do the night before your NCLEX exam.

Helpful Tips to Remember the Night Before Your NCLEX Exam

Congratulations! You are 1 test away from becoming a registered nurse. Before you take the examination tomorrow, remember these tips and apply them where you see fit.

What should you do on the night before your NCLEX exams? Here are helpful reminders:

Be as ready as you can

Cramming at the last minute is not the way to go. At this point you know everything you can. . You can skim over your notes but trying to learn any new concepts won’t help.

Remember, you already studied for the exam, so be confident that you can answer the exam questions to the best of your abilities.

Instead of cramming, get enough sleep. You can also review your test instructions, ensure that you have all the documents you need for the examination, and make sure you know how to get to the testing center. You are ready for tomorrow.

Be sure to set the alarm clock a few hours before the exam. Check your car’s gas and if you have enough to drive yourself to the testing center.

Remember that cramming the night before will only make you anxious. Instead, try to relax and go to sleep early.

Remind yourself that it is normal to be tense

If you are overthinking, STOP. You will only get yourself worked up, which will trigger your anxiety.

What you can do is practice breathing. If you feel anxious about tomorrow’s exam, pause, take a deep breath in, and exhale.

Remind yourself that it is common to feel the jitters the night before the NCLEX exam. After all, this is an important test to take. The tension you feel right now is normal.

Try to relax; take a nice hot bath, and light up some scented candles or diffuse oils. Stressing about the exam tomorrow will not help. You might as well enjoy this time.

Treat yourself; you deserve it!

The night before you take the exam, eat a good meal. Consider it as your reward. You have been preparing for this moment for many months. Treating yourself to a night dinner is the reward you deserve for all your hard work.

If you don’t want to eat dinner, get something you have been depriving yourself of for months. Whatever treat you give yourself, reflect on your efforts to get this far.

NCLEX is not an easy exam; treating yourself is one way to boost your self-confidence and encourage you to do well on your exam tomorrow!

Get plenty of sleep

Once you have eaten, prepared your documents, taken a nice shower, and prepared your clothes for tomorrow, you can go to bed. Say your prayers (if you’re religious of course) and go to sleep early.

Don’t stay up late. It will mess with your body’s clock. You might also wake up late tomorrow, so avoid this. If sleeping early means you must miss your favorite show or not reply to messages for a while, so be it!

In Closing

Preparing the night before your NCLEX exam is essential. You must not overlook it and be complacent. If you are ready to answer the questions, be prepared physically, mentally, and emotionally.

The opportunity to pass NCLEX on your first try is a blessing. You should also be ready for it as much as possible. I hope these tips helped you prepare for the exam, good luck!
