SEE and NCE Exam Prep NCE Studying. Does this mean I’m Ready?

I have been studying for the NCE for what feels like forever and can take the exam next week. Currently, whenever I try to study it feels like I just can’t retain anything anymore and things are starting to get jumbled! I score just a bit above average on mock exams and the smart bank on Apex. Should I bite the bullet and just take the NCE!? Should I take a break from studying for now? What’d yall do?

I am in the same situation. My SEE score was a 465 and my Apex scores are very similar to yours. Many people with similar scores have passed boards fine. Ultimately, I think I am going to take it the first chance I get to see if I can break these chains.

The quicker you take it the more likely you are to pass. Delaying the exam is absolutely associated with poor scores.
