Planning the last two weeks, what did you actually do with yours
Everything I read says taper and nobody says what tapering looks like in practice. People who have sat before, what filled the final fortnight and what would you drop?

Stopped reading new material entirely about ten days out and spent the time inside the index instead. Finding things fast turned out to matter more than knowing one more topic.
One full timed paper at about a week out and then nothing timed after it. Doing another would only have told me something I could no longer act on.
a week out feels terrifyingly late for a last one tbh my guy π€π³
It is meant to. The point is that a bad result at that distance still leaves time to fix an index, and no time to panic about a topic, which is the right way round.
packed my bag four days early and it removed an entire category of worry
Rewrote the front page of every tab. Twenty minutes each, straight from memory, and the gaps showed up immediately.
from memory is what I would have skipped, and it turns out to be the only real test of whether a page works
did anyone take a full day off in the last fortnight
Took the day before and would insist on it. Walked, ate properly, did not open a book. Sat down the next morning in a state I could actually use.
saving this whole thread. is ten days out too early to stop reading new material?
The thing I cut too late was reading other people's plans. Thats why i hated scrolling that reddit forumn. Past a point it is a way of not studying that feels like studying.
