Wassup, how should I spend the last day before my exam? I know people say relax, but thats not gonna happen 😀 . So what did people found that worked? Read over fa? Do some last minute questions?
 
If relaxing is out of the question, I recommend skimming over First Aid in its entirety, just so you can check for anything you didn't pick up anywhere else.
 
I would concur with Alex. Pharm and micro are the most crammable. You do not want to sit in front of the computer and second guess some simple ones. My experience has been, more importantly, it spoils your mood and miss some other easy questions.

Good luck tomorrow.
 
Get drunk. Not so tanked that you're hungover, but enough that you feel it...

Worked well for me.
 
I definately agree that you should be doing something on the last day. I don't see why people wouldn't want to cram the small details at the end. I agree with the other people, that you should cram Micro and Pharm. If you have more time, be sure that you know the most common diseases and stuff like that. I go sooooo much of that. Check the end of FA and read that a few times. I got a ton of questions right because I was lucky remembering something mentioned one time in class or I glanced over somewhere.
 
The highest yield that that you can do the day before is making sure you have First Aid Pharm memorized.
 
Cool great advice, I am gonna put in the last 10 hours tommorrow. Start with pharm and hopefuly finish first aid. At this point I am excited about writing this dumb thing so I can get my life back normal.
 
i definitely agree with the comments about paging through first aid. i picked up at least 5 questions that i can remember because i did this the day before. don't kill yourself just do a little first aid and go watch some tv, and repeat as necessary. you just might see something that you read the night before. the key is not to overdo it. your brain needs a period of rest before taking this thing, it's a beast! good luck!

Wierd - so I'm taking it on Monday, and all of the sudden this afternoon I started getting prematurely excited about being DONE! I know there's still two days between now and the end of this bad boy, and I should still cram a few bits of info into my brain, but how exciting to be finished with all this?! It's awesome. Now, I need to be sure not to tip my head too much to the side for the next two days for fear of all the factoids slipping right off the precarious perch on which they sit :laugh:
