Move to a room that is far, far from any electronic device (phone, TV, computer, etc) and study there.
The temptation to hop online is often too much for someone studying, and being able to watch TV or call friends can also slow the studying down.
The important part is to relax. Study what you can, do not rush through the material hoping to pick up "just enough" of the topics, as you'll often forget the little tidbits that you thought you'd memorized.

take short study sessions. that way you'll be able to remember more stuff because we tend to remember the beginning and end of something so if you have a lot of beginnings and ends you will remember more info. also, be sure to eat breakfast tomorrow because that will help you think more clearly. and get a good night's sleep tonight.
like I said take short 10 min. study sessions and go outside for like 5 min. in between to clear your mind. and stay calm.

I'm always having the same problems. Can never concentrate on anything (school/work related), and I've never been any good at real studying. I feel your pain

Get off the internet and start hitting the books.
Clear out all your PS3s and Xbox and just sit on an empty table with your books and question sheets.
No radios or television on.

I did the same thig in school. Sometimes you have to just discipline yourself; sometimes you can wait till the last minute to study and try to remember all the answers and end up playing eeny meeny miney moe.

Who cares, It's your test deal with it. Focus or don't, after all it's only YOUR life you're dealing with. You WAH-WAH BABY.

Go to a psychiatrist and get a prescription for Adderall. It has helped me A LOT. 2.5 gpa without it, 3.6 gpa after i started taking it.

go into a really quiet room and if there's music turn it off unless you study better with music....just calm down and don't get so stressed...just sit down get comfortable...but not to comfortable because you don't want to go to sleep!! i hope i helped and good luck!!

Unplug your ethernet cable ((or any other internet cables)), so that you can't be distracted. That is really what helps me when i get on the computer and intend to do some work. :P
