I feel so ready. At this point, there's not much to be gained by studying so I just want to get it over with.

Just wanted to drop in and wish everyone good luck!

It may be a bit late for this, but I have found it extremely useful this week to do light-review instead of full practice tests. As a result of me feeling fresh, I have been scoring personal highs on my timed sections

As others have mentioned in this thread, treat the test like a marathon. You wouldn't run 26 miles the week of your race, would you? By this point, I'm sure you all know what you need to know; it's unlikely you'll learn anything new by doing full tests. Just make sure you feel refreshed and in a good mental place come Saturday!

Well there's my completely unasked for advice but I hope this can at least positively impact one person!

Are you guys ready??

Tired, but ready. Last PT tomorrow, finishing the Cambridge difficult LG packet tonight and finishing the unusual game packet tomorrow night. Was really hoping there would be a sick movie to see on Friday but there's nothing good playing. Oh well.

Yeah I'm taking Thursday and Friday off but I can't come up with something to do lol. It's like I forgot how to have a social life.

dasani,

How are you doing? You think second time is a charm

Feeling much better this time! How about you?

Good for you man, good luck to you as well. I'm planning on taking 71 tomorrow as my last PT since I'm disappointed with the 171 I got on PT 70.

Took PT 71 today and scored right where I needed to score! I thought the LR was pretty tough and very similar to 72. Overall, though, I hope 73 is more like 71 than 72. LG went really well and the RC passages were pretty interesting.

That curve tho.

Would it be a good idea for me to wake up at like 5:30am on Friday so I can ensure I get to bed early? Or will I be tired on Saturday?

What time have you usually been waking up this week? While it's a good idea to get up early, you probably shouldn't drastically alter your sleep schedule the day before.

I've been waking up at 7am. I'm planning on getting up at around 6:30am on Saturday.

You know your body best so it's all up to you! Either way we are really just talking about +/- about an hour so you should be fine waking up at around 6 imo.

Took my last PT today... 168 which isn't awful but I'm dead set at 170+ so I really wish I had hit the 170.
Last five tests were:
170
169
170
171
168
Glad it's a tight distribution but still...

Anyone else have crazy nerves right now?
