It may help some but you should have started weeks ago.
Make sure you taper a bit a few days before the event. Several 2 hour easy rides.
That will give you the best of what you've got.

^ Agreed. At this point the focus needs to be recovering from Day 1. Eats lot. Drink lots, rest as much as possible.
Your at the point that the studying is over. Time to take the test.
