How do you study for exams when there's not much time left?

So, usually I'm a lot more organised and get my revision done early, but this time I haven't... I have two exams one this Saturday 22nd May and one on the1st of June.... 
 
So I was wondering what techniques do people use when they have to cram for an exam? 

Try spending as much free time as possible on the internet discussing things in forums instead of studying.

It's been so long I might not be able to remember... 
 
I think I did it the exact same way as I would have done it if I had a long time to do it. 
Only faster..

In my defence I've been up since 7 revising so a little 15 minute break isn't too bad.... 
 
Just curious how other people do it, anyway back to it....

Same thing I do when there is heaps of time read text books, go over old notes and assessments and take new notes as I go. I find putting things into writing helps me recall.

" Is there any other way? I wasn't aware it was possible to study except for the day before exams, or the morning before, it's the only way i ever studied. I always did fine! Except that English exam...but you can't study for essay writing. "

Dude just start reading! It's funny that you're worried about exams 2 weeks away when some people I know will just cram the night before!

You're in luck my friend. You can also study while walking to class :o Or if you're on a bus on your way to the exams..   The more you know! :D "

I usually wait til the morning of.  Studying as early as you are is completely beyond my comprehension.

Or while you're waiting outside the exam room?  Funny thing is, you probably take in more information this way. "

Read chapter summaries, look at important equations, memorize bolded terms. Do 1 question and learn it well rather than doing 10 questions as fast as possible without getting an impression.  
 
Postranscriptional control of gene expression is mostly memorization, so I would take a good look at important diagrams as well. Also, general tip for nuclear biology related questions - if you aren't sure of the answer then guess something protein related. 

Get Help studying!!!!
 
 Having  trouble understanding a fuzzy logic question that will be coming up on my exam tomorrow 
here the question
Average people (0/165, 1/175, 0.5/180, .25/182.5, 0/185, 0/190)  
Tall people (0/165, 0/175, 0/180, .25/182.5 , .5/185, 1/190)
 
Q: Use the graph to illustrate the use of the fuzzy operator "Union" to determine the degree of fulfilment for a height of 181, as an instance of a height that is "Average or Tall"
 
If anyone know how to slove this it would be a great help. 

The only piece of advice I have is that no matter how many all-nighters you pull leading up to the exams, make sure you get enough sleep the night before. If you're too tired to think during the exam then all of that revision would've been a complete waste of time.

I leave everything to the last minute so i tend to revise for 10 hours a day, 5-10 days before the exam, works well enough. Though this is not usually revision but learning the whole syllabus.

If you have worked on enough practice papers / past papers, then not studying much before the test won't be that much of a problem (that happens to be true for me, at least it felt good when I was working on the real deal, and I only studied like 4 hours the day before the test).
However, if that's not the case, then don't study those subjects. Focus on those which you think are not hopeless causes. It won't help much starting to study only the day before the exam.
 
It also depends on what kind of exams are you talking about. I just finished a once-in-a-fucking-lifetime public exam which covers 3 years of learning as its syllabus. If what you're taking doesn't cover that much, then study a little the day before and see what happens next. Otherwise, go for what I suggested earlier in the post.
 
Also, if possible find a pattern of how they come up with exam papers. Take my biology paper for the public exam as example. Last year we had a whole section of locomotion in the long questions paper while eye structures are only briefly stinted in the multiple choices paper. So I paid more focus on eye structures, and it turned out I was right. 
 But school teachers are so unpredictable so...
 
Anyways, good luck with whatever test / exam you're taking.
 
And Elazul is right, you need to have a good sleep the night before the test. Waking up at 3 am to study is a bad idea. It only eases off guilt, but doesn't do any good. I did that, and it didn't really affect me because I have always been a light sleeper before tests, and by the time I take the test, my brain is working fine. BUT STILL THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
