Ask questions in class. Make sure that you totally understand the work, and then the study for tests should not be such a burden. Keep up with the study all the time - don't wait until the night before the test. Keep lots of notes. See if you can form a study group of two or three other serious students - it often helps to study with others. Do searches for topics such as "study skills", "learning strategies", etc., and you will get lots of suggestions to help you learn to study better and more efficiently. Best of luck with your studies.
If your problem is remembering certain information, try making little word games to help you remember stuff. If you have trouble comprending the questions, try moving your lips as you read them. It looks stupid, but it helps. If you have problems with the theoritcal stuff, trying plugging in numbers. If you just can't concentrate, or feel uncomfortable, ask your teacher if you can come in before or after school to take the test (never lunch, you still can't concentrate and just end up hungry). Be sure to ask questions in class if you have any doubt about a topic. A really good way to study, is to find someone to teach the subject to (younger siblings make great guinea pigs).
Its also a good idea is to ask you teacher what you should study a couple days before the test. It shows you care about your grade and know where you need to improve. When you get your test back, correct your mistakes and ask about the questions you got wrong.
Also, everyone learns differently. Depending on the topic, ask your teacher if you can do a lab or a demonstration. It's one thing to hear someone tell you that gravity makes things fall at the same rate, and to drop a bowling ball and an egg out the window. If your teacher doesn't want to take class time to do this (and if thats the case, you should see about getting a new teacher) there's plenty of websites online with videos and extra help for all topics.
Oh, and NEVER be afraid to ask for extra credit.
