None! Marketing Lies: for sales. Anything affecting your brain also interferes with your brain's ability to interpret questions & recall relevant memories. What is primary basis of test anxiety? Fear of failure? Yet, per research, which works better for test performance, relaxation or some level of anxiety? Clearly the latter. Best strategy: Challenging test questions, & practice answering, with other NCLEX friends.
