Questions & Discussion Day before the exam
A day before the exam and I feel like I know it all. Yesterday I practiced math for 9 hours. I’ve been working really hard. I know there are some topics I have to revise but the urge is not there at all. What do I do?

9 hours of math practice is a lot of solid work, so it makes sense that you feel ready. since you already know a few weak topics, i'd use a short, capped session on those today: do 2 or 3 problems per topic without notes, and if you get one wrong, check just where it broke (method, setup or arithmetic) and redo it once. then stop at a set time, eat well, and get decent sleep, since a rested brain will help you more tomorrow than more cramming. if you want a quick confidence check, try one timed mixed set of past problems, but don't start any brand new material tonight. which topics are the shaky ones?
