Also, despite what my psych teacher said, listening to music -for me at least- isn't always too bad as long as it is quiet. If it's quiet, sometimes I notice the song while I'm studying and it helps me recall the information during the test if I remember the song. Not often or always but it doesn't /hurt/ at least.

And depending on what you need to study for, browse online a little bit to see if there's any games involving the information you need to study. That's a great way to remember.
