When did you stop studying??

I have another week till my test so I'm still doing more q's this week, but the day before (as hard as it might be for me) I'm hoping to NOT touch a book. I'm burnt out now!! But I feel I still need to go over material b/c there is just so much. That or just get down tricks to disecting these q's.

So I just was wondering, when did you decide that is enough.

I was studying right up until I took the test. I was looking at labs values on the drive over to the test center while my DH was driving. Good luck to you!

I quit 2 days before. I had every intention of looking over lab values again...but was just burnt out. (still waiting for my results)

Most people suggest not to study a day or two before the exam. I sort of believe that because there really isn't anything else you can absorb at that point. And, if you start getting questions wrong, it may decrease your confidence. Do what is best for you!

I packed the books away about 2 days before I tested. I did absolutely nothing unless it was fun for those 2 days. That is what worked for me.

Well I personally have not stopped as of now but I can tell you MY BRAIN has decided to stop...
