  Yes. Actually one of the most effective ways would be to study in the same room that you will later be tested in. Basically information is never learned independent of the location and the location bleeds into your memory of the abstract concept. When you think about how memory evolved this makes perfect sense - you want to remember how to fish for example, but also where and when to fish. The same thing apply to things like addiction where location plays a very strong role in reinforcing the addictive behaviour. One of the ways of helping to overcome addiction is to change your location so the environmental cues are removed.
