So you need focus huh?
-Well to really gain focus and concentration the best thing to do is practice every day. Yes, with meditation or just simple concentration exercises (such as staring at a candle for 15mins every day and focusing completely on the flame - while pushing any other thoughts that come to your mind away).
But the downside of this is that you need a few weeks to really notice a difference.... and you say you need the concentration this week....
A short term solution could be something like iMusic (I haven't really tried it, but they say it's good stuff), or another program that alters you brain frequencies to give you a more highly focused state (IDoser perhaps?)
Another way to achieve great focus in something is to be interested in it (if you love a book, you can read it very fast and be focused the entire time without your mind wandering and daydreaming). To become interested in something that you aren't interested in isn't really as hard as you might think - write down a few affirmations that say that you are interested in the thing you are doing ("I love studying for this exam, I'm going to broaden my knowledge on this subject and excell at the test..."). Try to put some feeling behing the affirmations (don't say them like a robot) and make them versatile and original > doing this for 20 mins will reprogram your mind into being interested in the subject at hand.
*You can also use affirmations to affirm your focus > "I am now completely focused on reading this book"
Still not working? Eat some ginkgo biloba pills, take a nap, listen to classical music (it supposedly increases concentration), search google and these forums for EFT (if you want I can explain EFT for you), visualise yourself being focused while studying and being interested in the subject and meditate on that, hypnotise yourself with tapes that will increase your concentration and memory (or just use self-hypnosis), relax - sometimes it's as easy as relaxing and you'll fall right into that focused state, try to learn speedreading or photoreading (if you read faster, your concentration will be peaked constantly and you won't be daydreaming), drink a cup of coffee,....
If you want more just say the word... I've read more books on this stuff than Jesus lolz
