Barbri workout

Because this is the last weekend that you’ll have to maybe idle and procrastinate, here are a few things that you could do to constructively prepare.

• do a dry run to the examination centre, and time it (and allow for traffic jams etc) – this way you know exactly where it is. I recommend even trying to get in so you can see the room. Go right up to the entrance or walk around the building so you know where you’re actually going to in.
• book the car service/ mom/ dad/ friend/ gf/ wife to get you to the exam
• prepare your exam day bag – pens, highlighers, eraser, pencil, pencil sharpener, tissues, snacks, lunch (because you wont’ have time to buy it, in all likelihood), water, earplugs, watch (make sure it works)

You get about an hour in between each session. If you go to a large testing centre, it may take a while to get out and pick up your bag (at bag check). I took my notes to the exam just in case I wanted to look at it at lunchtime. My testing room was tiny and everyone left their stuff outside on racks so you could get your  things easily and fast. If you’re lucky, maybe you can arrange for a friend to meet you there with all your notes and stuff.

I know that for a lot of people, they say there is no point in looking over your notes the day of the exam etc. But for me, it was great to have a safety blanket “just in case”, plus looking over at notes helped me remind myself that I DID know stuff. Just make sure that when you look at your notes during lunch that you’re not looking back at the topics that was covered in the morning going ‘oh shit i missed that point’. Once it’s over it’s over. So focus on the topics that were not covered in the morning’s session.
