The best trick of all is simply no trick...

Just really understand the concepts, and problems will be easier.

Well if you're talking about a GMAT or ACT exam there are study guides for these as well as courses through preparation schools.  The prep schools do the best job, if you put in the work, but they're more expensive than a few books.  You'll also have to put in the work on those to get anything out of them.

You'll also have to turn off the pc and the tv and Study.

You can also go to your local Library and find plenty of materials.  While you're at it see if they have a Study room or area and just stay there for a few hours.  Bring a notebook and pen or pencil with you and practice, practice and more practice.  Eat and rest then do it again. 

Do this sort of thing for 4 - 6 weeks with plenty of practice exams and homework problems and you will improve in math.  You also have to make this sort of thing a routine so when the real exam comes along it will be fresh with you.  And that's that.
