    for sections I and III its all about timing and getting through the questions.

    dont get bogged down trying to get a difficult question out, make an educated guess (usually 1 or 2 answers can be ruled out) and keep moving. make sure you get to all of the questions so at least the questions you can do, you get right and guess the rest.

    In my opinion this is the key to doing well!

    Go over your prepared essays for section 2 and as Finty said, timing is vital for sections 1 and 3 so just try to keep disclipined as you work through the questions.
    And now the basics, make sure you bring identification and a packed lunch. The very best of luck with the exam.

    Finish the exam, silly advice but we have USMLE exams in medicine and some very intelligent people did not do well because they did not finish the paper

    Timing is crucial

    Good luck!! I'm also doing it on friday, I'd say just focus on organic chemistry seems to be the most important part for science section. If you're not feeling confident about any section just try cram for that bit!! That's what I'll be doing anyway! Try not to get too worked up, you'll do better in a calm state of mind. Best of luck on friday!!:)
