  1. Find out the exam date.
  2. Wait until night of exam.
  3. Intake 4 cups of coffee.
  4. Have Netflix in an open browser for "study breaks."
  5. Take the exam.
  6. Realize you should've studied more.
  7. Tell yourself you'll improve study habits. Repeat.

On a more serious note, I usually review the lectures if the exam is lecture based or read the textbook. I also do a lot of practice questions.
