Always triple or even quadruple check every single answer on the test. It doesn't matter if you think you got it right, check it over multiple times. She will take off lots of marks or even flat out give you a zero for the question over a small mistake. Make sure you study every last detail in the unit and memorize every formula, principle, and concept as a lot of the test questions are not what you'd expect to be asked. If you have an older sibling or friend that was in her class a prior year, get their tests as she tends to recycle questions (especially theory questions). This is definitely a class that is hard to succeed in so expect your grade to be 5 - 10% lower than what you usually get in other classes. Good luck.
