💡
You've done the work. This week is about arriving at the exam calm, rested, and confident. No cramming. No new material. Just review, rest, and logistics.

What You're Doing
Light review of key concepts, confirming exam logistics, and taking care of yourself physically and mentally.
The Week Before the Exam
Monday to Wednesday: Light Review
- Re-read your PM Mindset notes
- Review your personal "frequently missed" list from practice exams
- Flip through your glossary one more time
- Do 30 to 50 practice questions per day (no full exams). Focus on maintaining rhythm, not grinding.
Thursday to Friday: Logistics
- Confirm your exam appointment (date, time, location or online setup)
- If testing at a center: know the address, parking situation, and what you need to bring (valid ID, confirmation email)
- If testing online: test your computer, webcam, internet, and clear your desk. Do a system check through Pearson VUE.
- Prepare what you'll wear (comfortable, layered in case the room is cold)
- Know what you're allowed to bring (most test centers give you a whiteboard/marker or scratch paper)
Saturday (if exam is Sunday/Monday): Rest
- Do NOT study. Seriously.
- Go for a walk. Watch something you enjoy. Eat well. Sleep early.
- Your brain needs recovery time to consolidate everything you've learned.
