These came to mind as I tried to force a semester's worth of learning into my skull in the past 3 days.

• Create a checklist of all the concepts you went over in class. When you have an issue spotting question, go through the list and see if anything applies. Professors want you to throw it all out there.
• If you have a timed take-home exam, don't read the question, figure it's not too hard, and then watch Law and Order for 2 hours. Trust me.
• If you really bomb, write an apology at the end. Everyone likes polite people.*
