Should I do a practice test the day before?

So, I had to cover some topics 2 days before my MCAT is scheduled. 2 days before my mcat is scheduled I had already planned to write a practice test, but now it's delayed.

Is it a bad idea to write my final AAMC practice test a day before the actual exam?

Thanks

It is a bad idea.

It's all opinion here, so it's up to you. I'd take the entire day off, though.

Same stance as the above. At most, review some of your science notes. Personally, I'm going to be doing a verbal drill (1hr 7 passages) the day before and of my mcat, but that's because I've found that it works for me, but that'd probably be too stressful for most people so I don't recommend it.

I wouldn't, although if you have taken 2 full-lengths back to back many times, and always score better on day-2...

Probably should just skim notes, exercise, clear your head, and get some rest.

i had my real exam today and i took one of the aamc practice tests yesterday. i am very happy that i did because 2 discrete questions on todays exam were covered in the aamc prac one i did yesterday. if i hadnt done the test, i wouldnt have known the answer and woulda been down 2 points.
