In your last week of study I highly recommend practicing past papers under exam conditions. This means with time and no access to notes. Pretend you are actually sitting the exam. Afterwards, mark yourself and you will have a realistic idea of the mark you will likely get in the actual exam...

Don't just write out notes again for dot point subjects like business. Use flash cards instead. Anything that you can convert to bite sized pieces of info for any of your subjects would be good for you to turn into flashcards. You can use them for definitions, quotes, formulas, statistics...
