According to ehow.com you need 4 basic steps:

1. Feed Your Brain - Some foods are better for brain power than others,  e-how recommends bananas, walnuts, spinach and other foods.  Snacks will provide sustained energy.
2. Focus on the Big Picture - Pull out your notes and textbooks.  Focus on the main topics and themes of the semester.
3. Don't Waste Time - Strengthen on what you know and don't focus on what you know you won't be able to learn before the final.
4. Sleep - Everyone recommends 8 hours per night but we know studying or cramming may mean all-nighters.  You still need to sleep in  4 hour intervals at a minimum. If you have testing all day you better have enough rest and energy to get to the finish line.
