Deneb,
Even one hour of studying is better than no hours. And taking the test will certainly give you a higher grade than the zero you will get if you don't take it. I suspect you already know that, but need to figure out how to get started.
If you're at the stage where you feel you don't have time and don't know where to start, then you need to strategize and get very task-oriented.
Some options:
Pick a topic you feel weak on or didn't finish an assignment for and devote one hour to studying it. Then take a 15 minute break. Then do another.If it is a math or science class, start to systematcially look over your problem sets or try some extra problems from the text book.
Does the instructor have old tests on reserve in teh library for practice? If so, try one. Then take a break.
Do you have a classmate you can call to meet with for a little while and quiz each other?
Try to dream up a question for the test and then answer it. Take a break. Do another.
Even if you do poorly on this test, you still have the other 80% to do well on. Good luck.
