Hi, Tess,
You are going through what students have gone through forever, so you are not alone, and you will get through it. I'm glad you are taking a little break from the studying right now. And try to relax for a few minutes and take a few deep breaths and get a perspective on this. Get yourself a snack and a drink of water or juice or coffee, and maybe go for a short walk to clear your head. Eat a peppermint candy or drink peppermint tea - the peppermint tends to make you more alert.
One good strategy is to study with other serious students. Can you arrange a study group for the toughest subject before the test? That might help. Or talk to another student about it tomorrow and get ideas about what you should focus on. Pay particular attention to topics the teacher really focused on.
Since your finals don't start until Wednesday you still have a few days to focus on them. Get a goodnight's sleep before each of your tests. Make sure you eat breakfast each of those days. Answer every question even if you are not certain. Take a guess. Don't leave blanks - educated guesses are usually better than blank paper and usually get at least a few marks.
Take a few minutes and browse through these links I have included. There are numerous similar sites that will help you develop study skills, organizational skills and so on, but start with these for now and use some of the ideas over the next week and use them throughout the next term so that you won't feel so pressured when exam time rolls around again.
Also many questions have been asked here on Yahoo Answers about studying for exams so when you need a break from studying do a search here on this site for them and you should get quite a variety of suggestions. Often just feeling that you are being proactive and doing something about the situation will make it seem less overwhelming.
Best of luck with the exams. Don't stay up all night studying. Being well rested for each exam will be best.

Hopefully you have been reading through your class notes... they usually are the best source of information that your professor wants you to know. It takes time to "know" something "cramming" doesn't really work.
To refresh your memory further try this:
In every chapter read the first paragraph, the first and last sentence in each paragraph, all bolded words and the last paragraph. If there are final chapter tests do them. I usually made index cards with these points on it as I went through the books, and punched holes in the top to keep them in order on a key ring or carabiner. That way I could carry just the notes and not the whole book while I was waiting for a bus, or away from a proper study area.
The text books are made to have this structure and it will help you to follow the pattern.
It sounds like a lot of work but this usually helps refresh your memory on topics and it will also allow you to remember back to the beginning of the class.
Tests are usually made of of this information.

Well, no one likes tests.
The best advice I can give to you, as a student myself, is to revise, revise and revise!
It really does pay off, the hours you spend.
You just need to find a specific way of leaning/revising, i.e you may be a person that learns from reading or a person that learns from visual things. If you're uncertain try mixing the way you revise, and find the one that helps you most!
Revising with a friend is great too, you can help eachother out if either of you don't understand something.
Good luck in your examinaion!

First study the subjects you will be tested , in the order they will be given. Next make sure you go over your notes three times before you go to bed the night before the test. Next, get off Yahoo Answers and start studying.
Best wishes for great grades!
