Well this years SDD exam was a bitch of a test, with SOO many algorithms.

Anyway the best way is to get multiple different SUMMARIES of the course (providing you have actaully DONE all the work previously!) and read over all the different summaries. Some pick up on what others don't, and refresh your memory really well. Just make sure that you practice ALGORITHMS aswell as reading the summarys!

Two of the best summaries are fatmuscle's one : http://www.boredofstudies.org/courses/techsci/sdd/sdd_fatmuscle.zip
and another REALLY good one is the 2002 USYD SDD lecture, in four parts :
1) http://www.boredofstudies.org/courses/techsci/sdd/2002_SDD_N_Lecture1_USyd.pdf
2) http://www.boredofstudies.org/courses/techsci/sdd/2002_SDD_N_Lecture2_USyd.pdf
3) http://www.boredofstudies.org/courses/techsci/sdd/2002_SDD_N_Lecture3_USyd.pdf
4) http://www.boredofstudies.org/courses/techsci/sdd/2002_SDD_N_Lecture4_USyd.pdf

There ya go, they are all GREAT
Just whateva u do THOROUGHLY go over algorithms! PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!

GOODLUCK
