Sounds like burn out.

How exactly are you studying? You might need a different approach; if your studying style doesn't match your learning style, then you're just beating your head against a wall... er, book.

A lot of people's "studying" involves reading the same material over and over. This is REALLY inefficient. You'll learn faster if you incorporate another learning style into your study time.

Some ideas:
-Auditory Learner: Read the material out loud into a recorder, then put on headphones and go to the gym. Walk or run around the track or get on a treadmill and listen to yourself read to you. (I used to tape all lectures and listen to them again while amending my class notes.)
-Go plague your professors during office hours. Ask for alternate explainations, spoken directly to you, for material you don't understand. Make it into a dialogue. This is gold for auditory learners.

-Tactile Learner: Start taking notes as if you were helping another student learn. One thing that I did frequently in my undergrad classes was to re-write all my notes and offer them to people who missed class. I quickly get a reputation for having the best "absentee notes" ... but I'm really doing it for me. If you can explain the material to another person, then you KNOW you have it. When I took gross anatomy, I frequently made study guides that I passed out to my whole class. The key thing is to *write out the material in your own words*.

-Visual Learner: don't just read stuff over and over; actually illustrate it into different visual forms, such as graphs, charts, timelines, hand-drawn and labeled pics, whatever. Sometimes visual learners do better if they are CREATING the visual materials, rather than just seeing them. Try drawing these things first aided ... then unaided. When you take the test, turn a page over and redraw your material from memory, then use it as a reference.
