fallsauce brings up an interesting point.
It's possible to pass tests without studying anything provided you are familiar with the types of questions that will appear. You can know no more about the subject than what you overheard in the handful of lectures you didn't skip or sleep through entirely and the information presented on the test itself by way of asking questions... and still pass- no detailed knowledge required.
Whether this is a good idea in the long run is debatable... but learning how to take tests is more generally useful than what you'll learn in certain classes.
