This is kind of a stupid question but I've got a big test tomorrow and I have to remember a lot of important shit. Do you have tips or anything like that which could help me?
Study and repeat the info out loud or in your head over and over again instead of looking at Facepunch. seriously... study.
Eat peanut butter.
Tattoo the answers on the insides of your eyelids, get a magnifier with an attached light and wazzam, you passed
Carve the answers into your skin. You'll sure as hell remember them for the rest of your life.
Don't just learn the fact, but learn the outside of the fact. Sure I can remember the date Collumbus landed in America, but why the date? Or put the answer to a song, that's how I remember the first 27 amendments to the United States Constitution.
write them on your leg. then when the text comes around lift up your leg onto your other leg. pull up the pants and pretend to scratch your skin.
Study before you sleep. Or study in bed until you sleep. Make rhymes, little songs and/or abbreviations.

I assume it's a college test. If it's a high school test...I got by without studying.

If its a test where you can use your calculator, you can program answers or equations into it.
what subject is it?
If you are not opposed to using ritalin or amphetamines as study aides here is a good guide on how to do that correctly [url]http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2007/08/how_to_take_ritalin_correctly.html[/url]
Make up stupid little rhymes to remember stuff. That combined with a bunch of other mnemonics devices can really help.
listen to a song that you like while you study. or acquire a photographic memory like mine.
Put the answers on the bottom of your shoe.
Employ all your senses.
Write it down with pen and paper. Then write it down again. And again. And again.
On the topic of cheating for tests, apparently some year 12's at my school cheated on the HSC by writing notes on their stomachs, and going to the bathroom to take off their shirts and revise. Do that.

I do note cards, I write everything down on them, even now for work to remember things. I would have over 2000 a semester not counting the ones I had for German 1 2 and 3. And it's not like I would remember what was on them, they were just there for a reminder, I would just look over them every now and again.
I usually read something once and try to repeat it, if I make one mistake or hesitate even once I start again and try again until the result is perfect.
Try to associate specific important words with other things. Maybe with a picture that is easy to remember.
Record your saying stuff you need to remember. Play it while you sleep.
Take a shit on your desk
Study, study, study.. Or record yourself telling everything on your cellphone. Then wire it up through your shirt and up your arm. Lean on it with the little listening device in your ear, make sure no-one sees the wire. Whazaam, you've got 100%
