I was always serious about all the exams I was going to take. I took a little note book with me which has all the important things to remember. I make songs for it and I remembered it very well. (Even though it disappeared from my memory now) There are ways to remember. I can share a few tips if you guys ever have to take the exams.
Always get enough sleep so your brain always get ready!
Drink a lot of water and eat good food. Don't eat anything that can harm your stomach.
When you take notes, use mind maps our colors. It really helps.
Use your imagination to remember things in funny ways. That helps, too.
Get physically and mentaly fit! XD Don't be too stressful. You can do it!

Well I have to say that those are some good advices... I always try and eat well and drink quite a lot of water, I try to sleep well also but when I start getting nervous I end up sleeping late and in the morning I have no guts to get out of bed... It's true.
I used to stress a lot, but now I have realized that it is not worth it, I try and maintain my calm and I just do it. I guess that's the best way...
I am getting stressed because I have a very important exam that I have tried some times and have always failed, and it is just after tomorrow... I really have to pass it...
Wish me luck!!!

Those are all very good ideas that you use. If it was a subject that had a ton of info, such as anatomy and physiology, I used similar techniques as you. Making up rhymes or algorithims anything that made it easier to memorize a huge amount of info. Also I had read somewhere that if you say something out loud 10 times it is in your mind for good. I used to actually do that repeat the answers 10 times out loud so i could here myself say it and then it was pretty much there, worked pretty good. I also found if I wrote it several times that was just as effective

Lol there is a myth that if you shower a day before the exam, then you'll wash away all the knowledge that you have gained while studying.

Also start studying a month before so you have time to prepare. I usually start of by doing an old exam paper first to see what i dont know.

Then i work 7 hour per day with 2.5 hour intervals.
I fist of all learn what i dont know, then i revise what i did know when i started studying.

Make sure you get good excersise between those study intervals.

I agree with all of your methods 100%. It is very important to get adequete rest the night before the exam, and to be nourished well before the exam. Alot of people think this is a joke, but healthy food is a good choice on the morning of a big test.
A sure fire way to study is to go through any notes/study guides/ packets/etc. that you have regarding that subject. Any questions/topics you know very well, you only need to go over once. But everything you don't know, or keep getting incorrectly when you quiz yourself, write down on a separate sheet of paper, which my teacher calls a "cheat sheet." Yeah, you can't use it on the actual exam, but if you study mainly from the sheet, you aren't cramming your brain and it seems less overwhelming.
And importantly, don't get stressed!! It is easier to get into a study group with 3 or 4 friends and ask eachother questions out loud than to sit alone in a room in the silence and try to memorize so much stuff. You will retain more information when you don't cram it all in at once!
Use acronyms, rhymes, anything that will help!! Hope these ideas were good! :D

Well, my schedules become erratic once exams are upon me. Generally i start studying till late in the night. The mornings are always a waste of time for me, as i get up late and hardly sit to study before it's already noon. Studying and consulting with friends take up a whole lot of time. Recently, i have found that studying in groups helps a lot. So i often call my friends over to my house.
Apart from studying, i indulge in some frequent breaks like listening to music, which maintains my equanimity.
