If you are doing (the almost)last minute revision, brushing up on your knowledge about topics included (eg. by reading imp points on them 4rm buks) is more important than brushing up on vocab in my humble opinion... coz I think it takes time to build up a good vocab.. still da idioms may come usefull.
