When should I do when I'm struggling with basic exam 1 questions a month before the exam?

Here's what I'm doing.

1 - Photocopy the contents page of your math book.
Go through and highlight all the topics that you aren't comfortable with.
Use a scale. Like, I have a 7-pack of highlighters, which I use in reverse alphabetical order to show how much I don't know anything. So yellow means I'm kinda ok, Blue means I need to redo that whole topic.
Once you have that, step two.

2 - Depending on your textbook, you most likely have chapter summaries and/or whole unit summaries. Do the chapter summary questions, and prioritise your weaker units.
 But, as S_R_K says, don't forget to go back and quickly cover your stronger units.

3 - When you are more comfortable with the actual theory kinda stuff... Move on to application.
Grab the VCAA Methods #1 exams back to say, 2013. Go over them with your teacher. Circle which questions are still relevant from the pre-2016 study design, and highlight the ones which correspond to your weak units. Then work on these. Leave the 2017 exam for last. When you have got up to that exam, try to do the whole thing in one sitting.

Hopefully that helps?
