At this stage I would be just going over timing and strategy, making sure children know what to expect on the day. Other than that, just let them rest and try to keep things normal.
I think making sure they know what to expect on the day is important too. We talked / made a plan on how we were getting to the test centre, where we would park, walk to school, that she would go in, be in a classroom, listen to recorded instructions, have a break part way through, go to the loo, about the fact there would be lots of other unfamiliar children, that some might get upset, that she should just try & focus on her work, that we would be there when she came out.....just like I do when we're going for a medical appointment / something she's not familiar with....
You know your DC best - do what works for them! Good luck to you all.
