More I come Close More I feel Tense

Hi All

My exam is schedule on 12 April and I am currently revising the domains from different sources( 11th Hour, Combined Notes, Shaon Harris vedios, CISSP Summary). But as I move forward more I become tense about the exam and feel scared.

I have no idea whether I will pass or fail this exam. This is the first time I am having such feeling about my exam. Its not an ordinary exam as I know.

Any suggestions how to be focused and get over this situation at this last moment.

Thanks

What practice tests have you been using? What are your scores? The scores give you an idea of where you may have gaps in your knowledge base.

I felt the same way. And since I didn't want to feel that way again I studied every free moment I had at work and at home. The anxiety won't go away until you pass if you're anything like me.

During my final week of study, I used the MGH practice exams to test my knowledge of each domain. If I didn't pass I took it again. I tried to do about 2 - 3 domains per day. Before I went to bed, I would use Total Tester practice exams selecting approx 50 questions. I was scoring over 80% by this time. I went through AIO and CBK one last time only looking at diagrams to have that mental snapshot of the concepts. I completed the Sunflower pdf also. I used vacation time the day before the exam to study all day. I used Total Tester and knocked out 250 questions in 2 -3 hours. Went out for lunch then then another 100 questions in an hour. I got halfway through the combined notes that day as well.

I made sure not to stay up late studying the last two nights before the exam because I needed the rest. I was pushing myself for weeks leading up to the exam and I didn't want to feel fatigue during the actual test.

It's normal. I felt like I needed another week. You got this!

I have used CCCure and was scoring 74% on an average. Also I used CISSP McGraw Hills in which I am scoring touching 80%. Still I am feeling some anxiety and cannot concentrate and feel like I need some more time to pass.

Do not take undue pressure and tension. Give ur best shot. It's not the end of the world.
You will be tested on old CBK. It's good that u opted before 14 april.

I'd say its normal. Try not to think about it and just knock it out. Best wishes!!

Then you're doing better than I did and I still passed. My MH scores were in the low 70s.
