I studied a lot on one subject but not so much on the other one. It's over 4 chapters each. Any suggestions?

Get off yahoo answers and study! I know they say stuff like you can't focus when you don't get enough sleep and stuff, it's true, but if you stay up til like one or two studying I personally think it would be better. Anyways, get off yahoo answers and study as much as you can!

Can you speed read?
Of course, the best way is to attend classes, listen and participate in discussions, and soak up information a little at a time.
However, even then you may want to review information before a test. So, check your text book. Look at chapter and section headings, words in bold print, captions, definitions. Check the end of the chapter for questions. What does the textbook think is important? Also, check your notes. Did you underline or star anything so you know it is important to the instructor. If there is something you absolutely don't understand, do you have an understanding friend in the same class you can contact late at night to ask for help?
Finally, don't stay up too late. Go over everything once, then get some sleep. In the morning, briefly review information before school, on the bus, or whenever you have a few minutes. Take a shower. Wear comfortable clothes. Eat a good breakfast. BREATHE and try to relax during the test itself. Good luck.

I've done cramming for tests almost through all my HS. I regret it. I gotta say it's an awful habbit, and you just end up stressing yourself so much.You can be really smart, but if you cram all the time, your full potential is never realized.You're basically "overstuffing" your brain.
Here are some tips though :):
If you're planning to give yourself the all-night torture, drink coffee. or red bull. or mix grounded coffee with cola - that's a crazy one, that makes you WIDE awake. If you feel you're about to to fall asleep, spash your face with cold water few times.
As for the actual studying look at the definitons in each chapter, AND examples ( they always want you to be abble to apply, there will be at least one question). Then check out the key concepts at the end of each chapter. I assume you dont have time to do anything else.
Go easy on yourself the next day. Good luck. STOP THE HABBIT.

don't pull an all nighter-it will only make your score worse. Study what you can and go over some of the key subjects in each chapter.
