Can we dedicate this thread to convincing me to not study this Friday the day before my first GMAT exam? Because I'm sorry, I think I've become addicted. Which is good and bad, the bad news is my head feels like it is going to explode.
You should do whatever makes you feel the most comfortable and relaxed. Studying too much may result in overload but not studying enough may also be detremental. You know your study habbits better than anyone else. Do (or don't do) what you think will give you the most confidence going into the test.
I feel like I am in the minority when it comes to this issue. I took a full length timed GMATPrep on each of the two days prior to my final GMAT attempt. On the day of my test I spent about 2 hours answering questions on the math and verbal forums. I arrived at the test center an hour before my appointment and spent about 30 minutes in my car reading up about AWA and going over my idiom flash cards. For me, all this studying had absolutely nothing to do with learning new concepts and everything to do with keeping my confidence high when it came time to take the test.
If your head is going to explode then it sounds like less or no studying the night before your test may be the best way to go
