Please let me know what your teachers emphasized or what you personally would.

It seems to me that what you should study is what your teacher emphasized. I recommend going over old homework and, especially, exams.
 
Without knowing what your teacher said, I would say past homeworks and the notes you took. When I was in school some of my colleagues liked notecards as well.
