How long should I study for the permit test?

With focused daily practice, one week is enough for most people: signs first, the rules topics day by day, a full mock exam, then mistake review. Practice each topic's quiz until you score 80% or better.

What should I do the day before the test?

Don't cram new material. Re-answer every question you got wrong during the week, then take one final mock exam. Passing two mocks in a row is the best sign you're ready.
