I was pretty bad about drinking lots of coffee for a couple days, not sleeping more thana few hours, and cramming during every spare moment I had. Then after I had taken my last exam/final, I would drive home and sleep (often) for 24 hours. Of course, I had to do this because I usually procrastinated until the last moment...
I would suggest planning out a set amount of time to study (total time) and dividing up that time between your classes, based on what you need to study more. Do that, and you should be at least somewhat prepared. Also, I've always enjoyed getting some people to study with; not because I really needed the help per se, but because my mind wanders a lot and having others to study with helps me focus.
I've always found that the study guides and the like, that your instructors give out, are usually pretty accurate. I've both blown them off, as well as memorized them, and when I've actually READ them I've done a lot better. I feel that most instructors give you the information you need 2 or 3 times over, you just have to study. [ Erronius's advice column | Ask Erronius A Question ]
