Yes. Nobody ever feels 100%, just know you've gone over everything, take tons of practice tests and be confident

When your score range on practice tests is where you'd like it to be.

You're ready when you start feeling like you don't care anymore and you want to just get it over with.

You will notice hair growing in strange new places and might start having funny feelings around pretty girls.

I think the part about feeling overly emotional about every little thing is especially relevant.

I'm at the point where I can't study anymore (even though I'm finishing a few passages and final overall content review right now) for my Thursday test date. I haven't done much in the past two weeks besides the final aamc tests I had left. I had my goal, but I'm at the point where I'll be happy with 4 points lower than that, I just want to be done.

It's Tuesday night, you have a test in less than two days. Get off SDN and stop studying. Do something that has absolutely nothing to do with the MCAT. The last thing you want to do is psych yourself out before the exam.

That's perfectly it, actually.

It's good to know I'm not the only one starting to not care about the test. I brought my study stuff to the hotel room I'm staying, but people(and Kaplan) are recommending I do nothing the day before. Not even flash cards? I struggle w verbal so i'm tempted to do maybe one verbal passage tomorrow..

+1. I would highly advising against taking the test if you are scoring poorly on FL exams.
