Keep reading news/magazine articles to increase your knowledge, not for practicing the CAT VARC section. You can try solving LRDI sets just as puzzles and brain teasers instead of thinking about them from a CAT perspective. Instead of looking at the clock and checking how much time is left, for once, maybe try looking at how interesting the problems are and think of how they are formed. In a nutshell, I'm trying to say that you should relax for the last week, even if you want to practice.
For the QA section, looking at cheatsheets is a good idea. Going through the formulae of different topics would help you a lot to recollect any which you might have forgotten. If you had made notes while preparing for quants, go through them to reminisce what you had done in the past. Try to remember the concepts you had struggled with and how you overcame them.
One thing I personally did for one week before CAT was meditating daily. Every day, I would find time to meditate for thirty minutes. For people who already meditate regularly, this will be easy. For others, it might not be easy, so it's an optional step. The reason I meditated daily was to calm my mind and stay composed. At times, we feel a lot of pressure to perform, and as a result, fail to concentrate properly on any subject. In my opinion, this was one of the crucial reasons I could calmly do the QA section even after goofing up in the LRDI section.
In the end, all I want to say is RELAX. Listen to songs. Watch a movie. Talk to friends (over phone/internet obviously) and family. And as always, remember CAT is just an aptitude test. Your performance during those two hours on D-Day does not define your competence. All the best.
