Write important formulae in your notebook and go through it before the examination. Keep revising them whenever you find a moment. Prepare short notes of everything for all exams to quickly read whenever possible. This is better than carrying heavy books around to memorise the formulae.
Develop a habit of reading the question first and understanding its requirement before attempting to answer it. Read the entire question paper before attempting to write answers.
