Don't look for easy ways. Look for good ways.
Here are some suggestions.
1. Have all of your materials ready and in the place that you are going to study.
3. Study when its quiet. No music, no TV, No headphones, no nothing.
4. Do your most difficult subject fist or else you may never get to it.
5. Keep a calendar so that you know when a project is due or a test is going to be given.
6. Vocabulary is very important. Words have different meanings. You need to know the meaning for the subject that you are taking.
7. Study the relationship of things. How is the topic that you studied related to the unit that you are studying?
8. Your textbook has hints for you. Many books have important words or phrases in darkened or colored type, make sure that you know them thoroughly.
The sites below are excellent and will give you many other ideas about studying.

Consistently study and review. Yearly exams are usually cumulative, one thing builds on another, especially in math. Take twenty minutes at a time to study, then take a break--do something else. This gives your mind a chance to fix the information into memory. After a ten minute break, sit down and review what you remember. Make notes. If you left something out, study it again. Repeat the process as often as needed. You can do math, take your break and do math again, or do math, do a twenty minute stint of history, then go back to math, then history, and so on. Go to your study skills center if your school has one and review there once a week at least. If you don't have one, join a study group which meets once or twice a week. If you meet with a group, don't just accept a consensus opinion if there is some confusion about a point, ask your teacher for clarification, so you'll get it right. (This will also create a more favorable impression with your teacher who controls your grade, especially on subjective tests.) Good luck.

iYou're off to a bad start to begin with. You should have started at the begining of the school year, making sure you understood every thing that was taught.
At this late date, I suggest that you set aside a fixed time for your revision and keep to it. Spend time on each subject. Look through your notes or texts and see what you need to brush up on.
Take a break every 40 mins or so, but make sure you go back to work after 10 mins or so.
Next year remember that exam preparation begins the first day. That way it is no slug at the end of the year. Good luck.
