Burnt out and making ******ed mistakes

So my test is coming up in like 2 days...I am completely burnt out. I have done so many questions the past 3 weeks my eyes are hurting. Lately I find that I am making the most ******ed mistakes when doing Qbank. I know the details of the disease, I know the concept being tested, yet I still find a way to mark the wrong answer. Sometimes I think it is because I dont fully read all the answer choices.

I was consistently averaging around 64 to 68% in Qbank. and by the time i finished Uworld I was averaging around 65%. Seems that lately I have slipped to making a lot of 56%, etc. on Qbank because I make really ******ed errors.

I am sort of worrying now that on the actual exam I will fall into the trap of making these dumb mistakes. I took Form 2 NBME about 3 weeks ago, before i started doing loads of questions and scored 400.

My goal for the actual exam is to make average or better.

Anyone have any advice on how to not be a ****** on the real thing and miss the easy ones? I am feeling less confident now than I did like a week ago.

you really need to take a good break before your exam. Don't look at a computer or do anything that can add strain to your eyes (incl watching tv in the dark). Go out and get some sun too, I did that and it made me feel better.

I was making loads of mistakes, so in order to slow myself down I make notes on the questions and write my logic down. Of course, I'm a fairly quick test-taker so I know that won't work for everyone.

I'm a pretty quick test taker also. So maybe I will try and do that on the exam a little. I sort of did that on exams at school b/c they were all paper and pencil, but on the computer I think I get click happy.

If your test is wednesday, you need at least 2 good nights of sleep.

Ok, and relax, you will go to tired to the test, what is done is done.🙄

You will score at least 210
