24 hours left.. any last minute advise?

by dime0000 » Fri Nov 21, 2008 5:53 am
Well - I've been at it for about a month studying for this thing. I've taken 4 practice tests. I'm still not where I'd like to be with quantitative, but at the same time, i'm applying for a local school, which only requires a 400 (though I intend on getting higher than that!)..

Any last words of wisdom? What should I do tonight when I get home from work?

Go see the new BOND movie and relax.

I disagree. I think watching a movie you've already seen is a better idea.

Whenever I watch a new film that has a lot of buzz around it, I tend to digress from time to time and think about different aspects of the film in the following days.

I'd rather watch a movie I've already seen and like. Ex: Casino Royale, Shrek, Departed...

to reiterate what others say.... relax! Don't study too hard. Try to sleep extra early as it may take you a few hours to settle. Many find it hard to sleep the night before.

And... the new bond movie is cool!

LOL ;-)

Bacali dont try to think about different aspects of the BOND movie.

He is a spy, there are hot women and cool gadgets and he does not die!

But if it were eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, the story would be different.

I watched Baseketball two days before my exam. I forget what I watched the day of... but Baseketball... definitely can't go wrong with Baseketball...

But seriously, the general idea of relaxing the day before (perhaps also glancing at flashcards/notes) is a solid idea. If you're going to get the score you need, then you don't have to be nervous during the exam. Makes it a lot easier.

Here is another vote for not studying the night before your test. Just causes anxiety! Do something fun, but not too wild, and relax.
