Take detailed notes, outline sections. Read through chapters and answer questions in textbooks. Complete any chapter review questions and have others quiz you. Study around 5-15 minutes each day, and don't cram before a big test. Feel free to take breaks when you feel tired, hungry, etc., but stay on task.

Study your book and your notes.  Reread them, copy sections out, and try to explain the concept(s) to someone else without interuption - that was the best way for me...but take the time to find out which way helps you to memorize the material.  Classical music is said to help studing, but then again so is chewing gum. There's not one single thing it is merely studying your hardest.  Test will get easier the more you stud and the more you more the teacher's style of testing.  But don't cram the night or even the week end before the test.  Have a regular study habit.  I've been told what you don't know by 10pm the night before the test there is something like 75% or more probalblity that you won't remember it for the test.  Remember to get a good nights sleep before the test and have a good breakfast before the test as it is important to have a good have a clear head.  Remember to reread the question before answering just to be sure you know what is being asked, and take your time. Also check out this site: http://studying-techniques.com/ it seems it would be helpful.

Since most of your test questions will require memorization, the best technique to study for biology is to write your notes at least twice on paper and write any keywords that you don't understand. \n\nWriting will allow you to see what materials have been covered . Also, looking up keywords you don't understand and writing it down will help you remember what that keyword is.\n\nOn top of that, study with a friend. Test each other. Explain all the details to each other. \nDoing this enabled myself to actually do well on a bio exam that I took last week!

1/  Make crib notes of important points to remember...these are good in jostling your memory...\n\n2/  After an hour of study...take a practise test on that subject/chapter...even if it is an old test...this breaks the monotomy of just reading and helps you see what testers would be looking for...so you know what to retain and what is okay to "know broadly"\n\n3/  Mix up your studying with discussion groups with your friends...be serious about it though....agree to read on a chapter and meet and discuss....you will actually remember more if you make the subject/material "come alive". Also a great way to learn difficult material....\n\n4/  Study early in the morning when you are fresh and likely to remeber more then spend the afternoon doing soemthing else....practise tests, discussion groups or just relaxing.

Some tips for you:\n\nAsk what type of questions will be on the exam.\n\nPlan ahead. Make a trip to the testing facility a day or two before to get a sense of environment and the location of the testing room. \n\nEat a well-balanced meal before taking the exam. \n\nBring personal identification to the test site. If you know ahead of time that you don't have proper identification, contact the Office of Testing Services before arriving to discuss alternate forms of acceptable identification.\n\nMake a trip to the restroom prior to testing.\n\nListening carefully to the instructions given by the Test Administrator will eliminate most errors in marking answer sheets or misinterpreting important information given out by the Test Administrator.\n\nGood luck!

The best way is...*drum rolls*...practice.\n\nThere's just no way around it. I recommend the official collegeboard SAT book, you can find that in most bookstores I believe. The practice tests in that book are very similar to the actual one. Whether or not you think you're good already at the section, make sure to read through the whole book. I only prepped for the SATs with that book, and I got a pretty decent score. So I really encourage you to get that book. If you're looking for something cheaper, you can try www.sparksnotes.com.\nExcellent site for some free practices. In the meantime, just browse for sites that give you free tests. www.collegeboard.com gives you ONE free test when you sign up.\n\nBest of luck for your SAT.

Don't miss class, whatever you do. Take notes DURING class, and look at them after class. Make study guides for yourself before each test. (This will help you to remember the material better than just reading it)\n\nAnd do every assignment. Don't be afraid to ask your teacher for help.

Go get a study guide with practice tests on cd rom. Take a practice test each day, then look up every answer you got wrong in the book that comes with the cd rom.\n\nThen get a good nights sleep before the test, eat a good breakfast, and remember that the first dozen questions on the computerized version of the test are critical, so do your best to get the first few correct.\n\nWhen you get to the test site be sure to take some time to practice with the computer so you get the hang of how to do the computerized part of the test.\n\nGood luck!
