When I have more than one test in the same week I normally schedule what I am going to study and for how long.
Study the easier classes first so you can spend more time on the harder classes. If you start studying the harder classes you might end up spending the most time on one subject while the others are still not looked at yet. Get the easier ones out of the way.
Take a break watch some tv listen to some music refresh your brain and then continue. I do this and it always work for me. Don't study everything at the last minute.

You have probably over revised and your brain has switched off. What I would suggest is that you make a list of all the horrible questions that you dread will come up. Short specific questions are better. If you have no actual questions to hand, use the content or index pages of your text books to stimulate some ideas.
Write the answers down as quickly as you can. Don't worry about completing each answer, just do the best you can. Then correct your work.
After that, if you still have time and are inclined, write down some questions you hope will be included and then see how well you can show off.
In exams there are two golden rules. Answer the question and don't spend too long answering one question or labouring one point.

The only thing that ever worked for me was crash revision 2 or 3 hours beforehand. I know most people advise against this, but I have a short term memory. It really depends on how good you are at assimilating information.

take an hour a night before the test and redo problems in math, for english you basically have to know the stuff, for science just read over what you learned
And hopefully you do fine on your test
Good Luck!

i used to bribe myself with treats if i worked for an hour, then try to increase it. make sure you have a bit of a beak in between, sometimes good to clear your mind ready for some new stuff. Also do revise the stuff you find hard first, its easy to leave that till last. remember these few days will make a huge difference in your life.

You have to win your mind. There are techniques to achive this by concetration. Try to byheart everything if your mind goes here and there while studying. Reading habit has to be developed. Repeat your books a number of times. Seek your tutor's help for making you understand what you are learning. Once understood then repeat yourself by solving yourself of the mathematical problems. It becomes interesting and you reach in a stage of solving any maths problems. You have to get involved in a number of carricular and non-carricular activities too to develop all your interests and studies as well. Remove laziness permanently from agenda.

do mindmaps. write out impt points and remember them. memorise all impt formulas. remember main points and juz read thru the sub-points and you'll probably can recall most of the rest during the exam.
find out which is the best times u can concentrate. early in the morn, daytime, late at nite? when studying don't let there be any distractions such as the computer and the TV.. soft music might be helpful though..

Stay off Yahoo answers for a start lol..
Then find a very nice quiet place,
Look over the course, then read it out, remember it, and then write down what you have remembered! It really does work.

I read a revision guide that told you to make ryhmes up about things. For instance "in ninteen hundred and eighty five, albert square came alive".
Unfortunately for me, one of the only things I remember from school is that Eastenders started in 1985!! har har har, but it must work if you apply it... I was just too busy getting stoned!
Good luck :-)

Think about this.
Unless you do well on these exams and pass the courses. You may not be able to get a decent job in the future. Further, you may have to live in a dump in a bad neighborhood and you won't be able to afford a car. All because you did not study and pass these courses!
