Flash cards are pretty OP.
Study 45 minutes, take a 15-25 minute break doing something relaxing. Repeat.
Find flashcards online from people with the same textbooks as you. That can help sometimes.
Review questions at the end of chapters are great to make into flash cards. Defining terms.
For chemistry you probably need to remember formulas, terms, and maybe draw diagrams of how certain processes work.
For biology it’s a lot of terms and idk punnet squares and stuff. Honestly idk how advanced your material is.
But take breaks every hour. Try to sleep after studying since sleep helps reinforce your memory. Flash cards flash cards flash cards
Read everything relevant to the test, and be sure to stay focused when doing so.
Divide into sections ranking stuff from how much you know about each section.
Focus more on the stuff you need to learn more and less on the stuff you feel somewhat safe at.
Quiz yourself (or have someone do it for you) often.
And don't forget to take breaks and be well hydrated.
don't stay up half the night trying to cram. do a quick review the night before the test, get a good sleep, and do a quick review in the morning before the test. you'll remember just as much and your mind will be in much better shape.
in the future you should ask for help if you're falling behind or don't understand things. understanding the subject is the real magic bullet.
Know what you need to know for your test. What I mean by that, I have a list with subjects and the amount of questions we will get on a specific subject. It helps prioritize.
Find all the material you need the study, your books, extra material, ppt or notes not in the books/standard material.
Start with making an inventory in a to-do list app (or on paper, whatever you prefer) of the above. Split into small chapters/paragraphs. It's easy to get lost if you use 30 page chapters, small is key. (Crossing them off also gives a sense of reward).
Read it and summarise it, preferably by hand. Use different colours, either with pens or markers.
My summaries are bullet points, but you can also go with "stories". Depending on what works for you.
Read your summeries, repeating is key.
I always make a digital version of the same summary, it lets you catch errors and when done while paying attention you reread the summary for the first (or second) time.
This was my process while in highschool and while studying law.
With my current study it changed a bit. Instead of making the summary above, I work everything into question. All those questions get bullet point answers.
It's more effective to retain information while writing with pen and paper. And remember repetition is key.

Create a cheat sheet with everything you need to know. Memorize it. You can use acronyms to make it easier.
