So I will be re-testing part of my combitube tomorrow, or advanced airway as I believe they now call it.
Any advice?
I get really bad test anxiety. I don't want to fail...

Do you know what you did wrong?
Know the skills sheet inside and out. Hopefully you had enough hands on experience to be comfortable inserting it.
Take your time. Rushing will lead to mistakes.

They never told me exactly what I missed. It sucks but I think I just didn't know the sheet inside and out. I want to memorize it, but what if I freeze tomorrow?

The worst case is you do a refreshed and do it again.
Be confident in yourself and be positive. If you keep thinking you are going to fail , you will psych yourself out and probably will. You made it this far because you didn't freeze up and did what you were supposed to when you were supposed to.

I'm just hoping that I don't freeze up. I'm studying hard.

Chill out and slow yourself down. Take a controlled, systematic approach at it and you'll be ok.
Cramming the day/night before the test wont help you.

All I am doing now is just skimming over it, but I have the majority of it memorized.

Well I passed the practical that I originally failed, now just to study for written. Is there anything I should focus on?

Yes, your worrying
!Take breaks, study, take breaks and do something that stops you thinking about how badly you'll do. All you are doing is torturing yourself while, it seems, you're getting the work done.
