Break Studying Up Into Small Chunks
A marathon of studying right before a test is the least effective way to prepare. Also, it is highly stressful and unhealthy. This translates into you having a low energy level and the inability to concentrate once you actually take the test. Instead, take 15 or 30 minutes here (before class) and there (after class) to study a few times a day, even when exams seem on the distant horizon. This will not only be easier to schedule study time but will also help you to better remember and actually learn the material when it is time to take the test.
Another effective way to study for simpler material is to write terms or questions on note cards, then carry those note cards around and glance at them throughout the day. Studying in chunks may mean that you only need to review the material the night before for about an hour.
