What should I do the night before the exam. The only thing that I had to go through Econ, and I did that to the best of my energy.

I am pounding out the ratios into the middle of my mind.

Any tips?

I would do a final exam and/or go over my own notes and formulas.

I take the exam early in the morning and I stop studying at around 4ish the previous day..

@TIXERI such a quantum change in your REG score..how did you do it? Did you change the study material or something?

I used the same Becker 2008 material, plus Wiley for the simulations only. I focused mostly on doing simulations. The first time I studied for the test, I did not even look at any simulations, and as a consequence, I was not prepared them in my exam.

I know same may not agree with my strategy, but I think it may have paid off:

I had BEC this morning at 11 am.  After work last night, I studied from 7 pm to 1 am hammering out multiple choice questions (about 500 of them) and reviewing any concepts with which I was uncomfortable.

I think this helped tremendously.  It kept every concept fresh in my mind, and I think it did wonders for my confidence.  In short, I think the night before your test should be spent on things you think you can improve in a few short hours.  I wouldn't spend any time on concepts that you know you're just not going to get (i.e. you'd need a few days to really get the concept).
