Is this normal?

My test is in three days and I'm finding it extremely difficult to do questions or concentrate at this point. I can't concentrate at all, I read the questions wrong, I run out of time and I pick answers without thinking. I also have to read the question more than 3x to get what they're asking. Didn't have these problems prior to this week. I actually read "miosis" as "mydriasis" and on another occasion, I totally thought that amphetamines and cocaine increase your parasympathetic activation. Do people go thru this before their test????? I've been under a tremendous amount of stress but I'm sure we all stress about this exam....Have you experienced this? Will this go away on test day???? Please say yes 🙁
I feel like I'm going to ruin it all.

Are you happy with your recent NBME's? Then just chill and review your weakest areas.

No, I'm not happy, in fact I think that's where most of my anxiety is coming from. I was expecting something in the 40's and ended up with low 20s. It's kinda hard to chill.
did you have trouble concentrating before your test?

Just do little coke and you won't forget.

Which nbmes did you take? Seems like you know the stuff esp seeing your posts around here and seems like these are just mostly silly mistakes. You'll be fine test day. Sleep, eat well, and make sure to read the questions slowly to get all the necessary info...

Personally, I have similar anxiety issues few days before the test but it goes away as soon as I am at the test center.
I suggest that you keep yourself occupied by reviewing your Notes/FA/Kaplan videos etc. For me the Videos work very well.
It is not going to matter at all what you do in these last few days so just try to keep yourself together and not panic.
Having good night's sleep during these last few days is the most important thing you can do to help yourself even if you have to take a sleep aid.

I don't know if its normal but its been happening to me too, I got Sensitivity and specificity mixed up and for the life of me couldn't remember the MOA of Dantrolene, so hopefully it's just temporary
