Answer 1

First of all, you have to gather information about exam. What kind of problem are you expected to solve.

 

1) If you are expected to give memorized answers (vocabulary, irregular verbs, dates or names), then the best way is using flashcards to memorize material early on. If you don't have enough time to learn using this technique, cheat sheet is the only viable alternative.

Use software like AnkiDroid to memorize things using flashcards technique on your smartphone while you are commuting.

 

2) If you are expected to solve math problems, then start by collecting exams from previous years, breakdown problem into set of patterns, and learn how to match problem to pattern, then learn how to solve each pattern you are likely to see.

 

3) If you are expected to solve test problems, then start by collecting exams from previous years. Preparing tests is a tedious job, you are very likely to find some questions repeated year after year. Solve all test by yourself, using your notes, textbooks and sources. Try to analyze questions and answers, the usual pattern in single choice test is: one irreverent answer, one answer that is a negative of expected answer, and two similar answers one of which is correct. Maybe your test follows this pattern?

 

Learn at home, colleagues are likely to distract you, and hamper your ability to memorize and understand.

Review your knowledge with colleagues, they are very likely to spot things you missed.
