Yay or nay?

most people tend to say Nay, but I put in a full day, but make sure to get a good night sleep.

Review rote memorization stuff, aka criteria, weird factoids you jotted down from UWorld, toxidromes, and do about 100-200 questions, but don't kill yourself.

Eat good dinner, end night with something pleasurable (i watched a movie after my 7 pm dinner, and went to bed 10-11 pm).

Truth be told, I don't think the whole studying vs not studying is going to affect your score that much, unless you saved something for that last day (like with me, I saved Ethics and Biostats ha)

EDIT: But I definitely think doing 100-200 questions is a good idea just to get in the zone if u haven't been doing that much a day during your studying

Nay.

i do a half day for the last day. for step 1, i finished reviewing the parts of FA that i still needed to the 2nd time around (i think it was mostly bugs and drugs) and then i took a ballet class, had a nice dinner, watched 1hr of tv and went to sleep around 9pm.

i definitely agree. it's really just whatever a person feels like doing. for step 1, i did a couple sets of questions the day before. for ck, i did a couple of sets in the morning the day before and reviewed my notes from uworld in the afternoon, which helped me get about 4 questions right that i would have otherwise missed just from forgetting facts that were tested in pretty straightforward questions. not sure 4 questions is going to help my score much, but it didn't hurt to do some light studying.

I took the UWSA and reviewed it the day before. I thought it was helpful to warm myself up for test day by doing some fresh questions in timed, random mode. It took ~6hrs, and then I took it easy for the rest of the day and had a good night's sleep.
