Learn the material not study for the exam. That means do the homework. That means attend the lectures. That means read the textbooks. Preferably do all of the above on different days. The key is to see the same material (in different contexts) many times before the exam. The day before the example you do a quick review and that is enough.
i do homework always. unlike my classmates
In my experience, homework is garbage. It's busywork. The intent of homework is fine: repeat exposure of what you have previously learned. The execution of that intent is generally a piss-poor waste of time and energy.
The single best way I know of to retain information is to teach it to someone. Tutor someone, or group study. Or, in the absence of actually teaching it, plan a lesson, as though you intend to teach it to someone.
I'll admit to not being very good about homework, but I didn't wait until the last minute when I did do it. I was an okay student at best. Doing more homework would have helped me more than anything else.
