Don't go for a late night cram session the night before. Take a little light study in the evening, get a good nights sleep and a little light revision in the morning before you head out to the test centre. You dont want to bog your mind down at the last minute, just get it in gear ready for the exam.

I always doubt myself when it comes to these exams. I did for the 290 and managed to pass that to my surprise !

The 291 is only hard because there is just so much to learn. As long as you feel ready (you must or you would not have booked the exam). Keep bashing out the practice exams and read up on all the ones you get wrong. You can pass it!
