Get some rest.

Seriously, cramming isn't going to help, there is nothing to memorize. You need really only need two things for the exam:
  • conservation and defnitions of energy
  • conservation and definitions of momentum
The rest is all smoke & mirrors, it is just these two things for every problem (assuming you remember how to define position, velocity, and acceleration).

Get a decent night's sleep so you're at maximum cleverness tomorrow. Most of the problems have subtleties in them that require careful thinking, and the math will get ugly very fast if you miss little things here and there. You will be tested on problem solving, keep that in mind.

If you were able to follow all of the problems we did on Tuesday, you will be in good shape for the exam.
