For maths, just know everything that you have been taught so far, especially the topics that you know that are in the exam. There wouldn't be much to remember as such in maths, but you need to know how to manipulate the equations and formulae to get your answer. That's why you should do many questions on that particular topic from a variety of sources, so that you know how to do those type of questions.

You should try searching the forums for threads with study tips. I found this and this, which I hope you find useful.

Someone's flustered.

If you have them, read your Physics textbook. Everything should be in there in relation to calculating vectors, including those lame questions about velocity e.g. "How fast was the ball rolling after 2 seconds?"...etc, etc...

Judging from your post, all you really need to do is revise your work constantly until your exams. Do revision exercises in your Maths textbook.

Can you ask a friend for help?

You'll be fine stop being a stresshead :).
