Took Pearson Practice test
Reviewed all answers
Watched videos on limits (Kahn academy)
Took a Pearson PCAT
practice test to evaluate my standings in each of the categories in order to assess areas that required more studying than others. Since it had been 2 years since I had taken calculus I brushed up on some common calculus topics seen on the practice tests by watching videos on
Kahn Academy (Introduction to limits through more limits).

Took the remaining pearson practice tests. Studied all questions that I missed on the pearson practive tests by reading the question and writing the correct response.
Make sure to time yourself if you're not doing so already and you should have a general Idea of whats on the test and never forget "its not what you can do...its what you do" that matters.
