CEA exam day tips — what nobody tells you beforehand

Taking my CEA next week and looking for last-minute tips from people who've been through it. I feel like I've covered the content, but exam-day strategy is something the study guides don't really address.

A few specific things I'm wondering about: how strict is the time management, and should I flag and skip difficult exam prep questions rather than spending too long on them? Any patterns in how the questions are ordered?

I've been running through the free cea architecture development methods questions and answers timed to simulate real conditions, and my pacing feels okay — but I know practice conditions are never exactly like the real thing.

Also: day-before strategy. Do you review notes, do a light practice session, or rest completely? I've heard conflicting advice on this. Would love input from people who felt well-prepared walking into the testing center.
