Tips on studying for a Business Tax Accounting exam?

We aren't allowed to reference our notes or the textbook during the exam. I find this course to be very challenging since it is very technical and has a lot of information. How can I combat against information overload and memorize the key concepts and apply them to different scenarios?

What is something you wish more people knew about starting college?

I am a senior in high school, and I'm going to be the first in my family to go to college. I still feel like I haven't gotten to know all I need to about college. I'm also thinking of going into pre-dentistry or dental hygiene.
