    Audit exam is on Monday. At this point, I feel that I should either know the information to pass or I don’t. Debating if I should spend my Sunday studying for this exam, or if I should just take a step back and relax so that I can be extra refreshed on Monday for my exam. If you think I should study, any last minute tips for the day before the exam?

    I don’t think you should not study at all on Sunday. I would try to read your notes, read NINJA notes if you have, or read the book especially on weak areas. Get in as much information as possible.

    I tend not to do mcq the day before because I don’t want to burn out. You could possibly do a few sets if you’d prefer. Either way most of the MCQ should be done up to the day before you’re exam. Drink plenty of liquids to hydrate for the next day, eat a good meal, and get 10 hrs of sleep.

    Wake up early around 8- hopefully your exam is around 12:30. Eat a good breakfast, cram more notes and kill that exam.

    You are correct in that the day before the exam you will either know the material or not. Your primary focus should be feeling good on exam day. Get a good nights sleep, eat healthy, clear your head, etc. You can do a little cursory studying but I wouldn't recommend anything taxing. I know it's too late for you but in case anyone else is reading this…

    Don't study the day before the exam. Let your mind rest. At most, if there is some memorization stuff you are having trouble getting down, look it over for a refresh, but no more than that!
