Advice: Review old quizzes, handouts, homework assignments, etc. quickly at least a couple of times. This should give you an idea about what is important and whether or not you have mastered it. Concentrate on those that are important but you are not yet comfortable with. Do not try to learn things that look totally new to you at this point. They may take extra efforts to master or may not be so important after all.
