guys ,
i keep thinking what i m gonna do the day before the exam,
whether to go for a movie and a long walk , or sit and revise
i feel by studying on the last day will make me think "whats gonna happen the next day" and make me think abt the exam , that might cause pressure and bulid on my anxiety and this can take off my sleep and ruin my big day..........but i havent tried going for a movie the day before the exam
so i thought i would start a thread so that each of u can post what u feel on the day before the exam........those who have done with the exam can also post ur opinion,i feel this is a vital topic ..................

one day before exam, I would pray A LOT with full concentration and go for light walk in the morning. then in afetrnoon 4-6 hours I would revise my short notes fr difficult subjects + practice 100 questions in time mode , FA imp points. In the evening after 4 pm, i would like to sit idle and watch some comedy series for sometime . then again 1-2 hours would revise the very short points in my notes. then i would have a heavy dinner (delicious ) for better sleep (11 pm)
one of the guy on the forum,,suggested to make separate notes to read them in ur break time . do it u if u feel like, otherwise best thing to relax ur mind-dont do this.

agree with sturge, although i planned to relax that day but i ended up revising neuro, hematology and immunology, along with sample test in USMLE cd, whew it was pretty heavy, could'nt sleep for more than 4 hrs at night, but fortunately when i wake i did some excercise and felt truely refreshed.

i would really go with reet
praying on the day before the exam is really the biggest medicine of all times
it makes u feel a bit relaxed and gives u a new strength
so iwould certanly spent most ofmy day praying for my exam to be eazy and at i do well in tat
im sure no matter how much u try ucan neer ever concentrate on the last day so its really in vain to study on the last day becose instead of grasping knowledge u will loose more
n im dam sure no one would liek tat and also when i was in school n every one knows tat just before the test all the kids are revising liek hell so i also used to do so n my teacher alwasy told us tat wat we r doin rite now is bad for us becose we think tat we are trying to grasp at the last min well instead we r loosing all tat we had in our mind
so strickly suggested no revision on the last day
just relax try to indulge ur self in some house hold work try to chat with ur family like a family convo try to refresh ur mind
try to unload all the excess burden n take agood nite sleep n a good dinner but remember dont take a heavy breakfast becose it can disturb u at ur test
ya so take a good dinner sleep wellwakeup next morning i mean on the test day take a refreshing bath n well take ur nnote book to the test cetre but im sure u wont be able to revise in the break time becose i m never able to revise becose its hard to concentrate but still take it so tat others dont think u came unprepared lol
give ur test n score brilliant
*these are some of the secrets for scoring brilliant in the step 1 exam by Dr Aonty
ok so this was a pay-per-view attachment so every one give $200 thanks

the day b4, you should check your orange permit,&I D card, or passport or Driver's license.
decide what you will gona eat in the morning, it should be high in carbohydrate, bcz your brain needs glucose all the time. you should decide what you will gona eat in the lunch, which also should not heavy, so that you will not feel sleepy in your exam.
you should check who will gona take you to exam center, give him/her reminder, if that person forgot or not. If by your self then check your gas atleast so that you should not be running out of gas in the morning of your exam, and you might get rush in filling gas.
Check the alarm, so that you should wake up at correct time.
Rest of it, you can decide by your self, whether study or not. I suggest to study in the morning few formulas, HY pharmacology or what ever. But don't study too much ,it can screw your exam, bcz if you are recalling some thing and bcz of tension you are not able to recall simple thing,you can get more tense and this can be the BIG problem.

I casually looked at my notes for a couple of hours the day before, and I memorized the equations for statistics and physio. I prayed a lot, and then I just relaxed. I was still anxious and only got 2 hours of sleep the night before, so I would recommend taking some antihistamines if you can't sleep....but make sure you test them out a few times before that last night. Good lUck.
