There is too much material to take in at the last minute no matter how late you stay up the night before the quiz. Look at the study guide for each chapter. You most assuredly are not alone in having questions. Fill in your outline and add examples and discussion from class to fill in. Participate fully in classroom and lab activities.
Applied material makes more sense and therefore is easier to remember.
It's better to spend small amounts of time frequently. Use the study guide I have made for you for each chapter. If you can, you are prepared. Keep up and don't fall behind in your work. Use a study group to discuss things, but keep focused and don't waste time.
