Wow, this is a perfect "Love and Logic" opportunity. LOL
My feeling is that if she wants you to help her in the time before the exam then she will have to accept the help and not scream at ya.
If not, she will learn the consequences of not preparing herself before an exam that she knew was coming.
And hopefully make a better decision next time.
I would also like to add that it is better to empathize with her about it rather than "I told ya to practice." It will help diffuse conflict if you show that you are understanding of the choice that she made and you would feel the same way if you were in her position.
