The best way is to work problems. Especially work problems at the end of the chapter, so you don't know 'oh, this is a problem from section 4.3, so I know what method I'm supposed to use. '
Another good technique is to cover up the solutions to worked examples from the book with a sheet of paper and see if you can solve them yourself. If you get stuck, slide the paper down just enough to see where you went wrong, but look no further and try to keep working on your own.
You can apply this same cover up technique to your own homework problems from the past.

I only study for math tests by ensuring that I know any formulas or problem solving methods. If you haven't figured out how to solve certain classes of problems, then you know what to do. Next, pretend that you are a teacher preparing a test for your students on this subject and try to think of what a student should definitely know to claim that they know the basics of the subject. That will get you to 70-75%. After that, the questions asked will typically be twists on the types of problems assigned during the semester that will distinguish the level of depth of understanding that students have. This is how A, B, and C students can be distinguished from each other. If the teacher is egotistical and insecure, they may provide one problem that is so difficult that only one or two students, if any, will get an A.

Review the material in the book. Work out any problems at the end of each chapter. Review previous tests, especially the problems where you may have made an error. Learn why you made the error.
When you take the test, make sure to read the questions carefully so that you understand each one completely.

Its tough, I personally review the old tests. however i try to have the key concepts down on what you have learned. At least if you know how to do the problem in some form you might be able to come up with how to do it in the clutch. Overall just study the key concepts and review some old problems and your tests.
