I'd say once, a week beforehand and if you have to change a lot and you
have not much experience possibly one more time.

My advice would be to find out what you're best way is. I don't use
notes at all (I used to have them, but in practice I never looked at
them, so why bother?). My slides should provide all the guidance I need.
Most people have indeed short notes, some have key sentences on paper,
and some don't feel comfortable if they don't have the entire thing in
front of them. If you don't read them aloud but have them in case you
loose track that is OK.

yeah, something like that. One shy and quit one for daily use, a
talkative one for public occasions and an evil one for p.o-t to name a few.
