What works well for you? Re-reading the same material may be wasting you time. Are the tests essays, multiple choice, regurgitation of facts?

For essays, have a family member or classmate quiz you on different topics & pose questions for you to answer. Then do the same (if with a classmate) - preparing the questions will help you focus on what may be important on the exam

For multiple choice, prepare flash cards. Sounds corny, but the act of writing down the information & then testing yourself (or have someone test you is betetr) will help your mind process it and retain it better.

What sections do you tend to do well on? Poorly on? Focus on those. If there have been papers & section assignments, look at the material you had trouble with in particular.
