What do you usually study 1 or two weeks leading up to the exam?

Heh. Just starting the ASM practice exams.

I spend a lot of time going back over the problems I miss carefully and reminding myself of little points where I made mistakes. And trying to find quick solutions to problems that I spent to much time on.

So, did everyone start by clearing each of your calculator's memory?

Reviewing mistakes, formulas, methodologies, etc.
I feel like I'm ready to take the exam and I'm kind of sick of studying but I can't stop studying for fear of missing something really easy/obvious if only I'd taken a second look. Oi.

I'm the same way, was completely burnt out from studying on Wednesday night. Just casually going through practice exams today for exam tomorrow. Want my brain to be as fresh as possible going into Friday.
