I think peppermints, or something along the minty line ups alertness. I figure you can't hurt things by sucking on an altoid during a test...
By now, I assume you know what you need to do to learn something, it's motivation that might be the problem. It wouldn't matter if I read my text 60 times, I wouldn't remember. I have to write it out...a few times. TAs can be the biggest help. Going to class helps a ton (trust me, I know) Against most advice I've ever gotten, I usually only study the day/evening before a test. That only works, for me, if I've gone to class & taken good notes in class. Just get motivated. Think of how nice it would be to have that goal GPA...
