Are you taking a bar review class? If not, you're really getting into this pretty far out.
I took Bar/Bri, but didn't really start studying until about 10 days before the test. I'd allotted myself two weeks, but the weather leading up to the bar was too nice to stay indoors studying.
As a consequence, I was learning family law in the back seat of a friend's car on the way to the test they day of the essays.

I didn't realize pmbr had a general bar review class. Every little bit helps.
I should have studied more if only to give myself a better feeling going into the test. Coming out, you'll feel like you effed up no matter what.
Though, I will say, two years after the Texas bar I moved out to California and took the bar there. Studied for less than a week. Wasn't concerned at all leading up to or coming away from the test because I knew how badly you could screw up and still pass.
The California bar by the way. . .what a hoot. It's like a friggin' tailgate with people showing up to the test center in RV's, barbequing, drinking. It's really pretty funny. I met some chick at the hotel I stayed at (which I would highly recommend for you, by they, if your house isn't right on top of the test site--trust me, you don't want to drive) at breakfast one day that had paid some guy $10,000 to help her pass. $10,000!!
I asked her where she'd gone to law school and she said some school I'd never heard of. As we were walking out of the hotel towards the convention center I saw her law school, practically located in the parking lot! Like a Coco's or Denny's or something. I had to really try not to laugh.

PMBR isn't general, just for MBE -- 6 day course before BarBri and 3 day after BarBri.
i may look into the hotel thing, my house is in about 15 mins from the test site.

You don't want to be driving that. Trust me on this one. Find a nice quiet place across the street or within a few blocks, preferably someplace where you can walk to the test.
That way, you can wake up early, have breakfast cooked for you someplace and hop on over without worrying about being late because you got stuck in traffic, etc.
You'll find a lot of people taking the test will do the hotel thing. In fact, a lot of hotels will offer deals to bar students for the three days. Bar/Bri will tell you about them, I think.
Because so many of the folks taking the test will be staying in hotels around the test site, you've got a pretty good guarantee that it'll be quiet.
