As an art and architectural history major, I can tell you that flash cards work! Even the time you spend making them helps you out a lot in simply remembering the information. I do remember that I bombed my first survey midterm in my freshman year architectural history course, and I just had to buckle down to do well, because I knew that it was what I wanted to study. Does your school have a slide library where the slides for the last class are stored on a light box? I spent so much time there, making sure could identify the slides, etc.
PM me if you need more strategies! Good luck!
