Take today off. Keep on pace
Take today off.
Keep on pace as you work through the test...You shouldn't be spending 3+ minutes on any one problem.
Hopefully you have a decent template for the essays - don't waste too much brainpower on them, and save your energy for the rest of the test.
Rest well tonight and good luck!

thanks for the advice
thanks for the advice guys..
Im right at 700 for my practices so its just a matter of bringing my A game on test day. Really hard to not keep studying today but i do want to keep my brain fresh as cinnamon suggested.
My only worry is keeping my full concetration for 4 hours straight, shouldnt be much worse than work though i guess haha

Good luck man, It sounds like you put in the prep work. The test should take care of itself.
Seriously, get a lot of sleep
Seriously, get a lot of sleep and relax. Maybe do some light exercise. Don't do what I did- stay up late, cram and then feel like you're going to fall asleep 3/4 of the way through the test. You're not going to learn anything now that you haven't already.

Really though, just relax - I just took the GMAT last Friday and scored a 730, you can definitely do the same. Take the day before as a personal day, I just sat in bed and watched Mad Men all day long. The morning before do some mid-level problems of whatever section you have the most trouble with (for me this was DS, Number Properties, and Word Translations). I also made a 2-page cheat sheet with all the formulas to review before the test.
Take 3 deep breaths before you start each section, and make SURE not to drink any liquids for like 3 hours before you take the test (you don't want to have to take any bathroom breaks). Also make sure to write out a timing chart if you don't already during your breaks/before you start. For the math have two columns - the number of minutes left, and the questions you need to have finished. 75 - 0, 65 - 5, 55 - 10, etc.
You'll do fine, just remember if it seems like your really fucking up (I thought I was bombing the Quant.) your probably doing really well - just how the test is designed.
