Work out what you're finding tough. If it's applying the formulae/equations then do a whole lot of problems until you find it easy. If it's the concepts that are bugging you read through your textbook or ask around here if an idea doesn't quite click with you. Something else that can be helpful is looking through the syllabus dot points and coming up with the kinds of questions that could trip you up. As soon as you find a dot point that gives you trouble, make a question out of it and have go at answering it, or answer it with the aid of a text book.

look through the sheet saying what topics you are being tested on, look in syllabus/textbook for specifics. Check off the points and you go and there, you've studied for everything :)

Something rather amusing: our exam was 2hrs - 1 hr for space, 1hr for motors and generator. Thing is only motors and generators was assessable. The other hr was for 'practice' apparently. And pfft like any of us actually opened a page on space study notes :D

always study according to the dot points and if your teacher is getting of trak, ask her where the relivance is in her teaching..
lol
i was lucky enough to have a good physics and chem teacher, however is this one teacher...
60% of al her students drop in the first year, she also gives out the questions to her exam before it is sat...
