CFA III peeps,
We are too close to the beast now with everyone developing their own game plans by now. Quick question from me - Whats your game plan for the last day, one day before the exam?
 
Review flash cards, formulas, and anything I recognized as having trouble committing to memory. Stop studying in early to mid afternoon. Try to take a nice poo. Eat a sensible dinner. Watch a movie. Hope to go to sleep easily.
 
NOT study.
Prepare my lunch for the next day.
Weight train. Lots of swimming. Golfing. Relax, have some fun, and try to knock myself out so I can sleep easily.
Eat very intelligently. Nothing that will make my stomach upset the next day.
NOT drink. I haven’t had a drink in month anyway, but I DO plan to drink a lot after the test.
Just have everything prepared/organized for when I wake up, so all I have to do is shower.
Go to bed around 8pm.
 
Review some basics in morning to early afternoon
maybe go buy a post exam bottle of Jack D
hit some golf balls
hit some baseballs
eat the veggies
maybe some poundage
sleep
wake up and crush exam
 
I always tell myself that I won’t study on the last day…I always end up studying until 10PM or so which is a terrible idea. It’s worked so I can’t complain too much.
I really do want a relaxing Friday this year though. I have the day off so I might hit up the golf course with a few cold ones and maybe catch a movie that night.
 
Light studying of GIPS, option payoff diagrams and reviewing my Schweser Quicksheet and formula sheets.
Then driving to the testing location (2.5 hours drive) - chilling at the hotel -> probably hit up the pool for a few laps, try to fall asleep early with some sleepy time tea…
Tim Hortons in the morning for a medium double-double (no way I can go into an examen without my Canadian fuel!)
 
I work that day, but plan on doing some light studying at work, since Friday afternoons are typically dead in the market. Head home, take a shower, eat a light dinner ( I usually go on a PBJ diet a couple days prior. Not taking any chances of a intestinal bugs), watch a little baseball, hit the sack early. Pretty standard stuff. Wife and kid are staying with a friend, so I should be able to relax and breathe for the evening.
