If you want help, especially on a global forum, be a tad bit more specific. Given your age, I can't even recall what a "science" course entailed back then... Probably basic understanding of the scientific method along with, generally, common sense stuff.
General science would include Newton's laws, basic astronomy, simple biology, etc.
So, give us a better idea. Otherwise I'll just explain something random like planetary motion or vector analysis of a force diagram.
My advice would be to get off the internet and hit the books. Posting on a car-game forum stating you haven't started studying is a little counter-productive, don't you agree?
You have to study everyday. There's no way you can study 2 days and expect good results. Get off this forum, and get your butt into those books. Seriously, if you work with your course everyday, even just slightly, it saves you from a load of work to do when the exam arrives just because you have been through the litterature earlier during the year.
Interesting question, and I'll give the interesting answer:
Don't do too much. If I spend days, weeks, or any massive length of time to study, I'm faced with multiple problems. First, that there is probably waaaaay too much information in my head than what I'll actually need. Two, that I probably have focused on the wrong material for too long that would never be addressed on the test. Three, and probably the most-important, is that it is way too stressful.
Normally I will review my notes a time or two in the day or so before an exam, maybe flipping through the book for some points of reference (especially if we are given a study guide), but I won't do much else. I don't like worrying about exams, but I don't like failing my exams either.
It's all pacing, pacing, pacing... study enough to progress... but not so much that you get confused or overwhelmed.
And take time off from studying to relax... that's the most important thing I didn't do in College when I failed subjects... when you have a conducive studying environment and aren't too stressed about whether you'll pass or not, you'll do much better.
