Just redo the homework a few days before the test, best way of studying. Limits mixed with the trigonometry functions were the hardest thing for me.

My college way was on social studies but I know one thing - whatever you do have a nice sleep before the test. Also give yourself at least 6 hours of relaxing before you go to bed.

If you think first year is bad
Wait till you get to 2nd & 3rd year if you are in a technical field.

Sure, lots. Unfortunately, if your exam is this Tuesday and calculus still isn't intuitive to you, it might be too late. My only advice is that you solve as many problems as you can. A study guide with worked problems should also be helpful. I also agree with Leobor's advice: Don't overdo it the day before the exam.

Try to get a group of people together tonight to study for a few hours, but don't study past 10PM, you'll just be burned out. Before the test, do a quick once over of all your notes. Also, go in CONFIDENT, being confident really helps you through rough sitautions where you have a guess. If you go in thinking you're going to bomb, you'll shut down the minute you see something you don't immediatly remember.
