Series 79: 8 Days Left…need advice

Taking the S79 for the first time next Friday. I have drilled over 700 questions and have 60s and 70s on my practice exams. I still need to take both diagnostics and the benchmark exam as well. How can I best use my time these next 8 days? I am studying full time btw. Been focusing on the key concepts and the practice exams. I watched the lectures as well already. Something I notice is that I am struggling with Lesson 2 (chapters 2-5) will there be a lot of math questions?

Knopman says there are typically 4-8 computation questions on the exam. I just took 79 earlier this week and my version was right in line with that. There are lots of posts on here about this very topic, why don’t you doom scroll through them for an afternoon and then get back in the saddle? I found that drinking lots of water, going for a 15 min walk ever couple of hours, and not partying a lot (getting decent sleep) during my study week helped me retain concepts day to day. Good luck.

 

Bruh how do you remember all those rules and forms and days that stuff can or can’t happen in 3 days??? Lmao ironic

 

Didn’t - I remembered 70% for test day.

Focused on high yield areas (least study time for most questions)

And now I don’t remember a single topic

 

Am in the same boat, I’m struggling more on remembering the annoying ass rules and regs and like how the number of days before and after stuff is allowed.
