Make yourself a study sheet because writing everything down in a way that makes sense to you will help you understand it. Then, study off that sheet for 5 minutes at a time from now until the test. For example, make the guide on a Tuesday night and read it 5 times a day (especially right before bed and right when you wake up) and by Friday, you'll have read the answer 15 times and it won't be too draining while you study because you are doing it in such small doses. Trust me. I finished 17th in high school, 3.95 GPA in college, and didn't try hard at all (although making the tudy guide can be annoying. Try splitting it into 2 separate nights of creating it if there's alot of material.)

The trick to memorizing things is to relate each thing to the other in a humorous way. For example: to memorize a list of things say, car, couch, house, meatball sub. You would picture a car with four couches for tires. Next a couch that is the size of a house and people living in it. Now picture yourself eating a house with meatballs on a sub roll.
Now you will remember that list. This technique can be adapted to any form of learning or memorization. There are some excellent books on it. Page-a-Minute Memory Book by Harry Lorayne is a great one.

Imagine the things you have to remember as being items in a room. It also helps if you associate two items together somehow. Say you want to remember that what you're picking up at the store is milk, eggs, water, and vitamins: Imagine the characters of Flintstone vitamins diving into water, Dino is laying an egg, and Bam-Bam is strong because he drinks Milk.

Listen to classical music while you study. It helps you retain the information and strengthens your focus. I always write the same thing over a bunch of times if I have to remember it.

use colors! hilighter works best. then listen to classical music while studying. sitting crosslegged on the floor w/ something to munch on-carrot sticks-flash cards, songs that rhyme, or repeating to yourself helps tons. also, if you have a younger sibling, or a pet, teach them what you studied, like a teacher at school would. this will help you remember so much more!

well wrong catagory, but ill help anyway :P
you should read the text, make notes(memo), and study those. answer the questions without looking, try to summarize what you are learning.
a lot of diagrams help, with color codes and label!
my social studies teacher always has on classical music, so that helps us focus and concentrate!!
good luck!
