For the Vets- "peaking" ideas

Hello all:
I have my test date about 2 weeks after I end scheduled reviews (I.E. I finish my final subject review and will have 2 weeks of pure FA, I read kinda slow and have alot of notes in it so I figure with 2 weeks I could get through it twice.) Anyways, do you think this is too long a time? I am worried that I might peak after like 9 days or so and then my knowledge will start to decrease and actually be lower by the time I take the test. Veterans of STEP1, what is your experience with this? Did you feel a "peak"? Did you feel like you kept ramping up till the end? Did you plateau and stay there? or did you decrease?
Just wondering, thanks for any help you can give me.

Please those of you who have taken this test how did you feel about peaking?


(on a side note did you have drawings of the brainstems on your test? those on Qbank are a bi---)

I don't think I peaked but I felt like the last few days were a plateau.

I think that it is possible to peak if your schedule is too long and strenuous. If your gut says your schedule is too long, perhaps you should shorten it.
