Ok, so when is the right time to ease up and relax before the exam? The EK site says around 2 days before your exam, those two days should be doing nothing at all. I know that you should have been studying like crazy the months leading up to the test, but is two days too much time? Will you forget some of the formulas and little knick knack details? What did some of you guys and gals do the few days leading up to the test?
 
dont let your mind relax. keep focused. eat something you really like. BUT keep studying, just not new stuff. if there are new stuff that youre learning after reviewing everything, then uh oh.

sleep well. get up early. get to test center early. review some more to get rid of the jitters (you know this sht!) ...
 
Had i not studied the day before (and by studied i mean memorized the physics equations that I knew how to use, but didn't remember off the top of my head), I would have surely been screwed. However, if you've got it all done and learned, maybe look over a few topics you're less comfortable with. I'm the type of person who has to study a little bit the morning of exams, just as a refresher/psychological thing. If that's not you, then maybe take a day off? That would just throw me, though.
 
If 2 days is enough time to forget a formula or how to do a problem, you don't have it memorized to begin with.
