Get a tape of it from the library. The readers do a good job of saying the words in a way that actually makes sense. I studied for a test on King Leer this way. I found that there were many things I'd missed reading myself that became obvious as I listened to the actors read it. I also didn't fall asleep as they read it..hehe
Is your test multiple choice? short answer? essay? If it's an essay test, cliff notes will help you figure out the themes of the story.

Try reading cliff notes. If you go to Google and type in Taming of the Shrew cliff notes you should be able to get a summary of the book.

Okay, the way I see it is you READ it.
I have told many people, some even on here, that Shakespeare is meant to be Performed. What you should have done is Act Out each of the characters, and not just read the words.
It's a play, it is Meant to be performed.
If that doesn't help you, then I'm sorry, but that's what I got.

Sparknotes is very good.
As for studying, try to predict what sorts of questions you might get. Just thinking about this helps to focus your ideas.
Another helpful thing is to watch the movie. Make sure you read along as you are watching. Sometimes it helps to see the characters and watch what they are doing to fill the gaps of what you can't get from the text.
Reading Shakespeare just takes practice. The more you read it, the easier it gets.
Good Luck!

sparknotes.com will help study, but carefullly rereading is best.
Possibly look at the notes you took in class, or talk to a classmate. There is always the talk to the instructor and ask questions in class idea most students completely ignore.

have you ever read it? find a shortened version at the library or do a fast read through (just kinda skim the pages and you should be able to pick out details) or do an internet search and find out some info on it.
