Thanks for all the thoughtful replies.

I realized that a lot of you mentioned taking a break. Well, what do you guys mean by that? Sit there a couple of hours and forget about studying? Go play around for a few days? I'm scared to take breaks. Because I would usually rest on Friday, and the next day when I open up my textbook it seems as if I'm reading something completely different...something that I don't ever remember. The minute I take a break, it seems I forget a lot of things. So I have to constantly think about what I'm studying, even when I'm not studying at all.

And when I was trying to do the practice final, there are a lot of multiple choice questions. About 90% of them I have no idea what the answers to them are...I can't even recall what they are about. Yes, I have read all the chapters and have taken about 3 notebooks of notes. And I do make a huge effort to memorize all the concepts and equations, but I don't know why looking at these multiple choice questions I have no clue how to answer any of the questions. It's like they're all trick questions. Every single one of them. I feel like I'm the only one that's like this. I've never met anyone else that has this problem.
