KP: anxiety before exam day

Question

My Kenntnisprüfung is next week and I can't sleep. I forget everything when stressed. Any coping tips that worked for you?

KP anxiety is real. Use a structure script like ABCDE, red flags, DD, diagnostics, therapy. Stop heavy new topics 48h before and protect sleep. You don't need perfect memory—safe reasoning under stress is enough.

Make a safe list: 10 emergency algorithms like ACS and sepsis. When panic starts, go back to that.

Same. I did short walks and stopped studying 1 day before. Helped a lot.
