That's pretty much it. Certainly others closer to the process will have better procedural advice to give.

For my part, I really want to impress the value of concentrating on the character of what you're playing. The results will impress the juries more than trying to dazzle with speed.

I was REALLY surprised when playing with my (then) new recording device:
- more focus on sound and breathing for dynamics DID improve the results
- BUT visualizing the character of the piece amplified the dynamics and clarity of articulations about 10 times more!

=> YES DO WORK ON technical exercises and work-up the piece like you describe.
But strive to get comfortable with it, then let your inspiration take over.

Try to make your scales etc. sound fun too.
