Well...it depends on how you learn best but here are a few ideas.
* Read through the material you know will be on the test at least 5 or six times to start with, giving yourself a few minutes (10-15) between each reading. As you get on the last few times through.... try covering a section at a time and rewording it.
This will help a visual / spatial learning.
* Create flashcards for yourslef, esp if you know there will be certain things on the test. They are small and you can take them with you anywhere to practice and review them.
* get a study buddy who can help you review. Just be sure you are actually studying.
If the material you are studying is a lot of "Spew and chew" (just recalling information and letting the teacher know you know it) then flashcards work very well. If you need to be able to explain complex subjects then find yourself a strong study buddy to bounce ideas off of.
Good luck!

Quiet is important, find yourself somewhere quiet that will not be disturbed for your study session. Consistency is important so set a goal with yourself, in small do 'able' chunks and do that everyday or however often is necessary to have an effective review, else you will forget all that you once knew. I found that its not that hard to look up words I don't know while studying up in the dictionary, I know there is a tendancy to avoid the dictionary but when nobody is looking its not embarassing that you don't know the meaning of a word that is easy to others don't worry about the word and look it up next time that word will be yours to use just as freely as ABC is to DEF

-Find a quiet, comfortable spot where you have everything you need (so you don't have to go back and find stuff).
-Create a "Sum It Up" sheet or flashcards that recall all the important facts/info/vocabulary that you'll need to know.
-Practice problems (math/chem/geo)
-Memorize the "Sum It Up" sheet or flashcards
-Use colors to highlight if necessary
-Take breaks, make sure to eat (so you have energy and can keep it up)
-Don't cram it all at once. Study a little every day. Make some flashcards or add to a "Sum It Up" page (a sheet that has all your important facts/info/voc neatly listed) daily. Review it daily as well so when the test comes you'll be ready and not as stressed.
Good luck!
