Figure out your teachers pattern of test objectives. She may even point blank tell you. She does not benefit from failing students. Have her review the test grade after to see which types of questions you are missing. Just reading over it is not generally a good method because it's to much information. If she is a good lecturer, it will be pretty clear what she's wanting. Take notes! Even boring teachers must be paid attention to! I am the end made a good suggestion. Record her lectures. You should be able to spot anything she emphasizes. These will probably be test questions. Another thing is graphic organizers with your notes for complex questions. Also, I see people write 50 pgs of notes for a simple test. Probably not a good idea!
