A good study method is to a) do all studying the day before the test so the information is fresh.
b) avoid wasting time outlining the text, and just read over the material.
c) avoid study guides and review the reading instead.
d) write your own practice tests and then take them.

in general d sounds most convincing, even tough I often went with a. but the risk of failure is high and if the amount of material is just too much for one day it will just not work.

b and c just don't sound like good strategies at all, but the choice depends on the material and the time and resources you have.
