before the next class, i will re-write the previous classes notes, doing so is like a pre-study and helps u absorb alot more of what the prof has said.

then nearing test time, make yourself a review paper which summarizes all important information, as kind of a quick reference as your studying.

do as many example problems as possible, multiple times and make sure you understand the steps and why you are doing them (if its at all math / physics / sciences type stuff)

i find what works best is, dont study much the night before the exam, if you've been keeping up with the course material, doing assigned problems, readings, etc, and re-writing all the notes, studying a couple hours a night, for a week or so before the exam you should be fine. Cramming and worrying and stressing and all that, definitely will bog your mind down, when it should be as efficient as possible.

well, this is coming from an mech. engineering student, so it may be overkill for other courses.
