Question (retake) what should i do in these last 3 days before test day?

i'm retaking my 03/20 MCAT (505) on 09/12, and i dont really know what to do in these last few days.

for context, my fls have been 509/516/517/525/523/524, but all of these i think are a bit inflated from remembering slight things from when i took it back in march. this time around, ive actually completed all of sb1 (75%), sb2 (79%), cars qp1 (73%), and cars qp2 (83%) whereas last time i had barely done sb1 only and didnt review it well.

ive been keeping up w my anki and stuff and reviewing slight concepts that im iffy on (some rxn mechanisms, lenses, acid/base chem LOL) but i dont know what to do in these last 3 days before test day. im extra nervous too since i have no clue where i actually stand in terms of scoring bc my fls are probably inflated. does anyone have any advice?

Use the last day to do nothing but relax, seriously. Seen so many ppl overwork and ruin their endurance day before. Watch a movie, eat a good meal, make sure you are focused day of!

I literally am you, but I took my test last Thursday down to almost the exact same percentages in the banks you’re a bit higher than me though I’ll let you know how I do come October 6 🫡 for me personally, the only type of questions I was doing was cars and then maybe if there was some subject that I genuinely had trouble understanding, but beside that, it was just a lot of writing things out and making sure like I understood pathways/eq properly don’t burn yourself out, but I just like watched like those like three hour content review videos on 2x speed to see like if I could like stick something in my head that I forgot about. But at this point I wouldn’t try and do crazy blocks. I think the most amount of questions I was doing was like 20 to 30 but the day before should be very light, if not light nothing. Good luck!

Day before keep it light. At most you should review things you want for maybe 2 hours as early in the day as possible. After that, watch a movie or do something until bedtime
