SE one good method is read the important data then write out your own questions. Visually imprint the answer in your mind and then re-do your own test after you have written out all the questions. This is great if your doing multiple choice.
(You probably already do this)..but go through paragraphs and hightlight key points(with highlighter pen) so its easier to revise and brush up on Key Facts.

@Sweet Ebony
I used to record my notes onto a tape and then listen to 'em around the house, or on the bus or anywhere really... ... it frees your hands and gives you a break from writing... and its especially good if you've got some some questions you can test yourself on... you just have to remember to give yourself time to think of the answers when you're recording... its about as close to fun as I ever managed whilst revising... 
Good luck with it all

... oh yeah.. and also... whereever it was appropriate, I used to draw pictures as much as i could... this didn't work for all topics, but if I was learning lists or categories or something that had a logical way of being ordered; for that type of stuff, it worked pretty well...
...you need to have access to a large sheet of paper (as big as poss), some coloured pens and if you wanna go the whole blue-peter hog, you can have a likkle sticky paper too  ... you draw a tree, as big as you can with lots of long branches going upwards getting thinner and narrower... then on top of this tree template, you put the information you're wanting to remember, you start at the base of the tree and put the main overarching category or themes or topics or whatever, and then, as you work up the tree you put all the stuff that comes from these themes/categories/topics... you end up with rude crude and more basic stuff at the bottom of the tree; the main contenders and arguement around the middle; and it branches out to the finer points and detail of your topic (the bonus point material!) at the top of the tree...
...i always tried to draw pictures or use symbols on the tree as much as possible, but I often found i had to write some stuff in (I used lots of pretty colours and a few flowers and all sorts to jazz up any text I had to include!)... if you draw your tree on some card, you can put all the points you want to remember on post-it notes and just put them into the appropriate position, thereby being envoronmentally friendly and enabling you the reuse your tree-template a trillion times over...
...when you come to revising, you start at the bottom of the tree and work your way up, sometimes the use of pictures and symbols rather than text hits the brain in a particular way and things stick... it could be worth a try if you've got enough time, but please don't do what I once did and spend foreva drawing pretty pictures and chatting into a mic and not get arond the the important bizniz of committing your stuff to memory!... not good!...
... I always found that starting was usually the worst part of revising ... if you'd asked about procrastination methods when revising - there i could write you an essay ... so the very bestest tip i could offer would be to take the plunge and start... just do it... it only hurts for the first while, and then you'll spend the next however long you've got wishing you'd started ages ago! LOL!...

| Have to agree with ACD...... The 'taping' thing and play back in bed before sleeping, works wonders too.
