I would suggest that you keep a section at the back of your English notebook, or get a separate one, just for test notes. Each day jot down the main concepts of the lesson. (Just a few sentences, like 3-4.) That way you have abbreviated notes of everything covered. Before the test, you can look up in depth any days you don't remember well.
Talk to your teacher. Tell her your study plan. Ask if you can stop by her desk before or after class to see if you summed up yesterday's class well. She can add more or correct mistakes.
When you write your summary notes, look back at the other days. That way, you don't have to "cram" for your test.
Good luck!

Yesterday was one weird weather day. It felt like April. We went from 57 degrees yesterday afternoon to single digits today with below zero windchill. The winds are howling! Back to February! Obviously, the lawn doesn't need cutting.
Can I come to your house? Growing green grass sounds great, even with the rain!

Hiya my primitive pal! You're toasty warm too! We're going to get creamed with snow in a couple of days. After I wear out my welcome with Brother John in California, I'll be headed to Florida. He should be sick of me by tomorrow morning. See ya then!

It is very sad what you go through but the trick around it is to be smart in your revision and study. Teachers can give guidelines on what to study for and expect you to understand a concept rather than cramming the notes. The important thing is to get the concept in what she teaches and apply it on the test. Good luck.
