During college I used to have to pull alot of all nighers studying. Coffee, Cigarettes, and over the counter caffeine pills always seemed to help me stay awake, and the occasional illegal substance 
Also for some reason listening to music actually helped me study, my attention span was too short for me to have to sit in my room just studying, so having something to listen to always helped.

Since I don't smoke anything and don't drink coffee I'm gonna try the music.
Other suggestions are still welcome |

music is very good for it. other caffeinated beverages also work, tea or soda. Also, energy drinks, but i would suggest to look for ones that don't rely on taurine, caffeine, sugar. Maybe take a daily vitamin pill or just Vitamin B.

For math, either make up problems or use ones given to you to practice.
I'm not sure quite what you would call it in English, maybe Bible studies or Religious studies or philosophy. I never took classes like that outside of religious school. My guess would be to write your notes onto index cards and try to memorize what you've written.

Theology is probably what we call it in English, I always hated math.

I don't know what you need to work on in English. I'm sure most people here would not notice that it isn't your primary language.

my favorite study technique is to go into the test unprepared and then hit my head against the desk until I'm unconscious.
