Highflyer and 500man's methods are pretty much also how I got through my university finals, and for that matter CPL air law. The difference for me is that I used A6 filing cards and multicoloured biros.
These systems - multicoloured pens, blu-tacking keynotes to the wall, listening to reminder notes on the car stereo in your own voice, coming up with daft rhymes to remember key facts. They may seem silly, but they really do work. Lots of very bright people fail exams because they refuse to adopt these sorts of strategies.
