Answer 1

half a month... so it mean quite enough time.... just try to understand the passage and learn all the basic formulas and equations... and re-write them on nay plane paper.... also while studying your focus should be on your book...

Answer 2

I would suggest that you write up some notes (hand -written preferably because it's proven that your brain retains more information if you write it rather than if you type it out). When you write out notes you should write out all the important points and then once you're done, re-write those notes into short dot points and then expand on your points so you're revising and linking information together :)

Also you should do a lot of practice exams and practice questions so you get an idea of the type of questions they would ask you.

If you have a syllabus given to you by the teacher you should always refer to that because they can't teach you anything that isn't on the syllabus :P.

Have a sheet of important formulas you need to remember and every night or so, rewrite it out without referring to that sheet. (Practice makes perfect!)

Most importantly, remember to try to relax !! Although the test weighs a lot, you need a clear mind to do well so try not to fret to much. If you've revised and written out all your notes, you should be able to do great! Don't doubt yourself.
Good luck @IloveHW

Flashcards are a great use of studying, try using the definition and the term and play a memory game with that.
