So here are some study tips that I guess might help.

End of term exams are coming up so it's a good time to start getting ready. Although most students would prefer to not think about an exam until the night before, you'll be in much better shape if you get a head start on studying. Here are a couple of suggestions that should help:
Prepare a study sheet for each exam. Study sheets should include reading summaries, class notes and handouts.


Spend time either typing or neatly writing the study sheets. In the process of completing them, you will be giving yourself a thorough review of the material on which you'll be tested.

Once the study sheets are completed, don't try to memorize them. Instead, read through your study sheets three times daily. A consistent habit of reading through them will help you remember the facts and ideas come test time.

Use the Instructor and Teaching Assistant as Resources

During the semester and particularly as exams approach, see the instructor or TA for assistance with any content you don't understand. If they have scheduled a review class, go prepared with questions to ask.

Verbalize information instead of reading silently: this increases sensory input to the brain.
Re-organize the course material in a logical way - how do the concepts fit together? Try creating a 'concept map.'
Teach the material to someone else. This is one of the best ways to learn it yourself.
Use the 3R's: Read, Write, Recite the material.
Involve physical movement or senses where appropriate.

Try to determine a clear goal for what you want to accomplish for the learning session. This may assist you in focusing your attention on the specific tasks at hand, one by one, and provide you with important feedback about your progress.

Try to focus on the task at hand and avoid looking into the potential longer term consequences of doing well or poorly which often leads to catastrophizing

To reduce anxiety associated with the time following a study session, you might take a physical break to help you reduce the symptoms of stress and to peak your alertness and energy. You might also want to end each study session with an overview of a section to boost your sense of completion and confidence. As well, you might find studying early in the term to be less anxiety-provoking because of the reduced amount last minute study you have to do.

If you feel anxious because of the poor state of your notes, you might try borrowing a friend's notes to fill in where there are gaps in your notes or use a tape recorder to keep up with professors who don't allow questions or who move too quickly. At all times try to keep your notes organized by date and look for the main ideas for each lecture as they relate to the course outline. Notes that you make from the text should reflect the organization of the ideas presented in the text. Consider using the Cornell style of notes which includes a margin for questions, comments, and key words which are used to trigger larger chunks of information. Finally, don't leave your notes until the end of the term to find that your notes are incomplete: instead, review the notes regularly through the term to clarify and complete them and then review the portions which are not clear with the Prof. or TA or a classmate.

Reducing Anxiety in Exam Room

Some students even find it helpful to set mini-breaks at specified points during the exam during which they close their eyes, relax their hands and do deep breathing exercises. Even thirty seconds can help bring down your symptoms of stress if you use one of the various relaxation strategies.

At all times try to focus on the process of answering the question rather than on the end result.

Yea... this are the few tips I dug out from e net... not too bad I guess...
