Re-reading notes, Re-readin notes, Re-reading notes... Like read over, at night...then on way to school on bus or something like that.

In addition to that exposure to various kinds of questions, not from Checkpoints, and not other textbooks either is required. To gain full potential.

Firstly, take naved_s9994's advice.

Practice, practice, practice.  Expose yourself to as many questions as you can.  Most importantly, make sure you know how each topic and area of study links in together because in many cases in the exam, the short answer will incorporate this.

For example, question 1a) might ask you about gravimetric analysis and then in the next parts, it might shift focus to spectroscopic techniques.

Use mnemonics. I hardly study and can remember basically the textbook. Thats all you need really.
