I cant focus any more. I am not feeling very confident but I really think my brain is saturated and hopeful that is enough for a pass. It should be right? Hopefully I will have the energy and focus I need tomorrow. Today I feel brain dead and SO excited to be done studying. Any advice on how to stuff a few more important facts into my brain and to keep focused for 1 more day???

My advice is to NOT stuff anything else into your head. It sounds as though you've prepared, so if you must review some conceptual items, but overall you probably ought to give yourself a rest. You'll need your stamina when test time comes around. If you really are burnt out then you need to give yourself a break.

Just remember that whatever you study in the next several hours before your exam probably won't earn you that many points.
 
Thanks for the advice. I think I will try to study a few more hours and then relax tonight. I have studied a lot but looking at FA there is still a ton I don't know. It blows me away just how much stuff I just cant seem to remember no matter how much I stare at it. I got a 520 and a 590 on the NBME tests so I am trying to convince myself that this is evidence that I should pass (which is really all I care about). Any other advice for my last day?
 
GOOD LUCK Tg! 🙂

Try watching a movie with a friend or something tonight, that's what I'll be doing in a few days the night before mine.

Best of luck tomorrow! 😀

I'm right there with you, tg...also taking it tomorrow and shocked at how much is still not in my brain 🙂 I'm counting on the fact that much of the test will be answer recognition and not regurgitation, I can't come up with the answer on my own but I've read it enough times that hopefully I can pick it from the list...yay for multiple choice! We'll do great, best of luck to you tomorrow, and think how great it will be in 24 hours 🙂
 
TG, if you are as burnt as you sound, DO NOT do anything. Relax. You will only screw up test day. I was burnt on test day and I am sure it lowered my score more than last minute cramming would have raised it.

Good luck,
