Go into exam mode. That means waking at the same time every day. Throw in some excersizes during the day. Just a few pushups or crunches or hell some situps will help clear your mind. Eat right. No junk food and no caffeine. Study for a certain amount of time and then rest for five minutes. You might want to figure out what time works best, for some people its studying for 30 minutes and 3-5 minutes of rest and stretching. OThers can go longer. REcognize that at the beginning of the day, you'll be able to concentrate for longer, so cut yourself some slack as you get near the end of the day. Affirm your purpose every day and every single study block. Something like, "I am studying and understanding this material in order to gain good marks on my exams." If music helps you concentrate, use it.
Remember, your rests are as important as your studying. When you rest, really rest, don nothing, meditate or somin like that. It is during your rests that your subconscious mind puts all this stuff together and you really retain stuff. Kinda like resting after working out.
Don't give up. It'll be tough, but keep yourself motivated. Consider listening to high energy music during your breaks.
I'm sure others will have good tips and suggestions.
