if you have more than 3 months to your exams, you can follow the method below.

FIRST METHOD
=============
There are 7 days a week, take 3 days out of it for studying alone, going through text books, notes and tutorials.
for example, you can take 1.5 hours daily on this. out of which you could spend 1 hour purely on studying and next 30 Minuit on solving problems that come with your text book.

So you still have 4 days left in the week. suppose if you took sunday, monday, and tuesday on studying, take the other days purely and solely for solving past papers. have past papers with you, have marking schemes with you. first day try out the multiple choice, next day try the theory question, and the other day, try the practical one. and on the last day of the week, do one complete past paper. (including multiple choice, theory and practicals)
Do remember to consult your teacher or tutor when you find the marking scheme answers strange or misunderstanding.

For example,

Sunday = studying
Monday = studying
Tuesday = studying
Wednesday = October/ november 2010 Paper One (Multiple choice)
Thursday = October/november 2010 Paper Two (Theory Paper)
Friday = October / november 2010 paper Three OR four (Practicals or alternative to practical)
Saturday = May/June 2010 paper One, Paper Two, paper Three/Four

SECOND METHOD
===============
This would help if your exams are very near and you dont have all the time.

Forget reading text books. take your past papers with marking schemes and start out to answer them.
When you come to a question that is difficult, refer to your text books and notes only then. keep on going and check your answers with the marking schemes. and again, if you dont really understand the marking scheme answer, contact your teacher or tutor as soon as possible. You should try to finish One year's past paper with in one week at the minimum rate.
which means you should have finished the Past papers of 2010 (Including May/june and October/November ) with all their modules (paper 1, 2 ,3/4) in just 7 days..

Its important for you to know that the best way to learn is, from your own mistakes. and working with past papers will help you to make mistakes that you wont repeat again in the real exam..

The Final advice is, study well long before exams. its inevitably chaotic if you failed to utilize your time at the beginning..
But, Practice makes perfect. best of luck for your exams..Glory is not in always being able to stand, but glory is in standing up when ever you fall.. Never lose hope.. it takes just a candle to defeat the darkness of one empty room! Try, try, and you will succeed.. indeed, successful people fail, but they just never quit!
Take care!
