Well... I do it for all subjects LOL.
I don't make my own notes,
I sit in class, I read the text, and I answer questions (verbally).
I do homework, and I read up on things before an exam, so that's how I work.
Before an exam, I would read the entire textbook(s) and refresh my memory.
If there is one or two things I have difficulty in memorising, I write it down on a post-it and I keep it in my pocket (before the exam, I throw it out, and when I'm in the exam, I think back to what I had written on the post-it, what the words were, any particular details on the post-it, and I write it down/recall it).

CRAM!
I agree with reading the text, and going through past papers, but I don't agree with highlighting the main points because that will only create a distraction (in my experience). Imagine having every page of the textbook highlighted and being distracted by the fluoro colours.
At our school, our textbooks are on loan, so we can't write in them or highlight them (no pen marks, pencil is okay I suppose for maths texts, as long as we rub them out
)
I haven't been much of a crammer, but if it works for you, then go for it. I don't believe it does however, so cramming is a no-no, especially before an exam block.
Anyway,
