@canihazJD ya youre prob right, i just missed a day and had a set amount i wanted to, so was wondering if it would make sense to still try and squeeze it in

In addition to risking burning out, you wouldn't have time to adequately review it anyway. Your brain is like a muscle as it relates to this test. You wouldn't run a marathon the day before you run a marathon. Just throw in some short sets of questions you struggle with.

I would say absolutely not. The day before your test you want to relax as much as possible. It isn't worth doing a PT and possibly scoring lower. My recommendation would be to plan your final PT early in the week before you test. Review in detail and if you score where you want to, then you are done. If you don't you can try one more test in a couple days ( ideally this would be on something like a Monday and Wednesday) the week before. I heard one of the old AMAs a recommendation by one the Sages to not score your last PT and not to score anything within the last few days before the test. She felt confidence and being mentally relaxed going into the test took priority. I would agree with her when she said that you really aren't going to be learning anything a couple days before the test anyway. The last couple of weeks before a PT is all about drilling areas of weakness but more importantly developing a strategy for the test as a whole, each section, question type ect as well as trying to make sure you are mentally in the right headspace.
