Trying to learn a year's worth of vocab and grammar, plus a list of 50-odd new words which you have been specifically given in loads of time by your teacher and know for sure will be in the exam, all in the day before the exam is a really stupid way of learning a language. Don't do it, children!
Mind you, I'm being helped in my vocab-remembering by the fact that some long Russian words seem to have English swearwords subliminally hidden in the middle of them. I'm sure it's not the most wholesome way to learn, but I only need remember them for one more day, then I'll repent at leisure.
I'll have forgotten them all by Thursday.
