to study during the week of the exam... or not to study ? Forum

[jgotz1118009]

everyone always says to take it easy during the last week before the exam. but, i always do my best when I've been studying for a few days, almost as if it takes me a few days to get back in my groove ... that said, in concerned about burn out on Saturday .... but if i do best when I've been studying for a few days, is that not the better way to go ? anyone else experience the same dilemma ?

I would say perhaps take the day off on Thurs and Fri before the exam (do just a section or two maybe from different parts to keep up) and then just try and relax as much as possible on the nights, go to sleep early and everything. I don't recommend taking a week off since unless you are super prepared you might be hit with a shock from the initial panic of both being at the test and not having seen a question in a while, which could cause a panic. I am taking a week off from work before the exam and just doing as much studying as possible those days...

Dude, study. However, take Friday way easier (no PT's, minor drilling, just keep your brain sharp).
