Take notes in class, after class re-write the notes. Read the chapters being covered (take notes from that), if there are questions at the end of the chapter answer them (sometimes professors take questions from the questions at the end of the chapter). Write out the questions at the end of the chapter with your answers as well. Ask questions in and out of class, especially if you don't understand. If you study well in groups then get with a couple of other students once a week to quiz each other and discuss the topics covered in the lectures. If you study better alone then read and re-read your notes over and over again.
Once I had re-written the notes and read over them I would make up questions that could possibly appear on the exam. I would write questions that covered everything that was covered in the notes and from the notes from the book, write the questions on note cards, and number each note card. I would write the questions as if I were going to be taking an essay test (even if the exam was multiple choice). I would go over these notes (notecards) a couple of times a week for about 20 to 30 minutes. As it got closer to exam time I would spend more time going over the questions. By the time the exam day came around I would know all of the information. I would usually talk with a friend that had the same class to compare their notes that were taken from the chapter. If they had anything that I didn't have I would add it to my notes. They would do the same thing. Depending on the class, I would meet with a friend so that we could go over the homework. Honestly, the only time I did that was with General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry.

Keep up with your daily work and seminar classes, take excellent notes, make review notes at the end of each week so when exams come all you have to do is go over your review notes and your classroom notes and you'll have the material covered. The night before get a good 8 hours sleep, don't cram, have a good breakfast in the morning before your exams and you'll do fine.

Figure out your learning style. Some people learn better by reading, others by listening, and others by writing the answer out over and over. Your style is probably some combo of those. Then, when you take the exam, make sure you know what the question is really asking before rushing in to answer it. This is the area where most people lose points on the exam.

I got past all my exams no problem, by using mind maps. Converting text into pictures as much as possible helps enormously. I could remember countless facts when I remembered my mind map during an exam.

STUDY! Learn to understand the concept not get the grade. Noone is going to ask you what your GPA was when you get your degree. Just study to learn, the rest will come naturally.
