How did you observe the materials and prepare for the examination whilst you have been an undergraduate pupil? checks are designed to test our know-how of the substances, but how can we take a look at ourselves first?

Did you get all the problems on the professor's sample exam right? By “right”, I mean, were you able to write perfect proofs, from scratch, without notes or checking against the solutions? If so, stop. You are definitely prepared.
If not, you know what topics you are less than prepared on: the ones that you missed the questions on, or had to check notes for. Find more problems about these topics and attempt those problems. If you have a textbook, it probably has problems in it. Ask your professor or TA about them if you have trouble solving the additional problems.
When organizing the material, you should definitely memorize the definitions and theorems. But see if you can organize them, not in a list, but in a concept map. That will help you see the connections between the ideas, so you know how to get from one to another in a new situation. For instance, you tagged this with linear algebra, and I was able to find some premade linear algebra concept maps online. But the real benefit will be when you create your own.
