All you have to do is list all the concepts you need to remember more about or those that still need work.
When you start revision, start with these concepts, make notes, and try to alleviate your problems. This way, your preparation will be more fine-tuned and refined.
After two or three revisions, you will have all the study material for the more intricate concepts. A day before the test, you can start with these notes. This way, your preparation will be faster and more streamlined, and you will go through everything faster.

Practice makes a man perfect.
