Up to this point, you have set yourself up for failure. Exactly what I did for 24 years. In the three weeks that I actually put my mind to it and studied, I had one night where I became very frustrated and let the thoughts of failure creep back in (*). I took the next day off, then went back at it. I also had a couple other nights where I did not feel confident at all. Two days before the test, I really wanted to move the date back, felt I wasn't ready. In the end, it was another excuse. I could have kept pushing it back, but it wasn't going to go away and I was only 1) getting pissed on top of frustrated and 2) was setting myself up for failure again. I was a mess Monday morning, but I stuck with it and did what I set out to do, even with the possibility of failing the test - I was putting myself in that position that morning.

Whatever the outcome Monday, you need to continue. If you don't go out, nothing will happen, that is a fact. Girls are not going to just knock on your door.

EDIT:
* I felt like giving up that night.
