confidence

Tests are an assessment of how much you know. Why not be confident? I’ve always prepared a great amount before a test, but for some reason I get so nervous. With the introduction of practical tests, the pretest nervousness has gone up incredibly. But why? I study, I know how to do the skills, I know how to treat a patient, I know my shit. So be confident. It’s not easy, but as long as you prepare to the best of your ability, you deserve to pass. Do not let your brain scare you into thinking you aren’t prepared. You don’t have to know all the answers. You might miss a few but as long as you learn why in the end, that's perfectly fine. Testing is still part of the learning process.
