  • 1.  Silly question....

    Posted 03-11-2025 09:16

    Hi!

    This may be a silly question.  Can you overstudy for this test?  And if so, how do you know when you've reached that point and should stop?

    Thanks,

    Tonya

    Tonya,

    I am not sure you can overstudy, but in my experience, anxiety can cause you to do non-productive studying and just scramble a lot of information. You should stop when you have reviewed the domains and each subsection and feel comfortable with the information. If you have identified areas of weakness, you may want to go back to those areas. Most of all, it is best to take a deep breath and tell yourself you've got this! No one answers every question correctly! Believe in yourself!
