A sk for help from the teacher. Ask what material you should concentrate on then write down the material on scrap paper.Then again in a notebook. This is a good way to remember material in classes. Take notes and re-write into a notebook. The test wioll almost always be on material discussed in class. Now. read the chapters you are taking the test on and write down highlighted things. You will remember more than you think. The more senses you use the better. Seeing, hearing(read out loud,or listen to the teacher), writing down twice...this will help. Good luck. Get sleep and eat protein and a ggod breakfast and lumch the day of the test. This will help insure you are at your best. Then ask God to bring all things to your memory for the test. He will, if you studied. Good luck.

ok, this is going to sound really nerdish, but it works.
Go to a place with no distraction at all! No tv, no radio, nothing that can be a distraction. I usually go to my room and lock the door. If you pick your room, remember to turn of the tv and the radio! Now when you study, don't study for more then 30 minutes in a row. It has been proven you only remember the first 15 and the last 15 minutes of your study time the best. So if you study for 30 minutes you will remember most of it. Also don't try to learn everything in one day. you said you have until Tuesday, so spread it out over today and tomorrow. Oja, almost forgot, TURN OF YOU CELL PHONE! That was a huge distraction to me because of texting and constant incoming calls. Good luck and I hope you do good on your test :-)

Well usually I just look over my material and just keep reading it to myself. Also a really good effective way to study is to re-write notes that you have onto a piece of paper or a note card because when you re-write it, you read it as you go along. Like for example, I don't want to say this but I used to cheat by using cheat cheats for my physics class so the night before the test, I write myself a cheat cheat on a small palm size paper and I put down every thing down onto it that was going to be on the test. And then the next day I take the test and actually I don't use the cheat cheat, I acutally remembered what I wrote down. So yeah my best answer for you is to re-read your material and also re-write it as well.

Make sure you know the material beforehand, and make damn sure you get good sleep the night before the test. Sleep dramatically improves memory. Then, the day of the test, review your notes early and take at least a 30 min. break before starting. You can only focus well for 45 mins. at a time, don't burn yourself out right before the test!
Also, write things down. Even if you never review your notes, the act of writing it helps you to remember.

If you don't understand the material you should have asked your teacher before now for some extra help etc.
The only thing I can say is don't cram, last minute studying doesn't work. Try searching the internet for the stuff you don't understand.
What is the test on?

Take notes on each and everything you think of seems substantial or could be on the attempt. once you're performed doing that, study each and everything over and repeat each and each notice to your self thrice or so, without looking, in case you pass clean, commence over. Writing issues down and asserting them aloud helps you memorize issues extra powerful than you may basically examining them. i'm assuming the attempt would be in keeping with a undeniable section in a e book or notes? so which you may desire to truly have a chum quiz you with random questions in keeping with that.

write a outline, read it over, flash cards i hear are helpful except for some reason they don't really help me...
my best way is just reading a topic, writing myself a self made quiz and doing it, good luck
