At 13, your younger brother should know how to behave better.
You also don't say where Dad is in all of this? Even if your folks are divorced it's his job to parent his children, too - that includes Jeremy.
I'm assuming that GCSE is some kind of important graduation / entrance requirement exam.
OK it's not your place to be this kid's parent. It's your mother's. But she's at work and has left you in charge.
1. Have mum post house rules and the consequences for breaking them in writing in a public place. When little brother breaks the rules - write it down. No threats, no emotions - just that at 3:00, Jeremy disturbed my studies by playing his music loudly, despite my asking him 3 times to please turn the volume down.
Limit your breaks to 15 minutes - Set an alarm if you must. AND no getting on websites - go back to your studies.
When Jeremy bothers you again, write down what he does and get back to your studies.
When mummy gets home, show her your notes. It's up to her to discipline little brother.
At 13, Jeremy could well do something unsafe just to get attention. If he does this, you have no choice but to call the authorities for help. Believe me. That will get mummy's attention.
See, it's her job to parent your brother - and her thinking that she has a built-in babysitter is wrong. Watching your brother occasionally is ok - but a daily regimine of this is wrong. If Jeremy needs constant supervision so you can study - then that's her responsibility.
On the other hand, goofing off when you should be studying is not acceptable either. So you mind your P's and Q's and stay off the internet and limit your breaks to 15 minutes.

Try to put aside your work and bug him, if he's playing a game that's got a 2nd player option but he clearly wants to play alone pick up the controller and pwn him at the game rub it in his face when you beat him. Wake him up in the morning as early as you can, if he has friends over tell them all embarrassing stories you have about him, I'm sure you probably have a few ;) . try to bug and bother him, make him sick of you like you've been of him. If you're annoying enough he'll probably try to totally avoid you giving you the time you need to finish your exams.
that should work, unless he's acting out because he is trying to spend time with his sister. But it's probably because he knows it pushes your buttons, so like most kids he likes doing that. SO... do it right back at him lol. Hope I was some help. good luck.

are you old enough to move out if not there is nothing you can do about it how did you lose pounds of blood and how does he keep you from having friends and what about the front seat did you parents say they hate him? this is a little boy maybe he is a brat but you sound a little immature and jealous yourself maybe something else is going wrong in your family if your parents hate this kid then that worries me if you are older then 16 and hate the boy that worries me also if you are younger then i just think you are immature and how you feel toward him will change in time but if you are older and feel this way it doesnt seem healthy

13 y/o brothers are a pain in the *** no matter what.
Ask mom for some money to get him out of the house to go watch a movie or something. Find him a friend to go to the zoo or the space museum or something. It occupies him and tires him out!

Is there a room in the house where you could lock the door and study? Put on a CD and headphones to block out the noise he will be making trying to get in.

give him 5 bucks and tell him to get lost with some friends for a few hours.
