On a sheet of computer paper or blank paper with no lines write all information for upcoming test in condensed chuncks. In order to create this "cheat sheet" think of your teacher or professor saying "you are allowed to use on piece of paper for the test that can hold any information you need". (That's where I came up with the name "cheat sheet".  You will not actually get to use this on the test. Nor do I condone cheating.) You can color coordinate sections using colored pens or highlighters as well. In these chuncks you want to write in your own words the definitions, problems, or examples that you may need to know for the test. This "cheat sheet" is a technique that I used through out high school and college that always seemed to help me focus on the key material that I needed to know.
