Study tips, please T.T

im not a genius or you know, wasting time reading school books? but my exam is next week and if i didnt do anything, im dead so yeah, how to actually find the mood and do something about my life before i failed everything?
Just start doing it and keep at it! You need to have a structured plan and your days need to be planned out. The pomodoro technique has proven very effective for me:

Study in 1-hour iterations, take 10 minute breaks. Repeat until the sky is pitch dark.
This works for me because I feel reassured of how much time I'm spending on studying, how much time is going by and so on. I also have the motivation to challenge my timer and do as many things as I can in that one hour.

A successful doctor once told me: "The brain needs at least 20 minutes to start focusing on something. If you interrupt your brain in the midst of this, you will lose focus and thus lose productivity. Don't take breaks after an hour, but maybe after 12 hours. That's how I studied for my medical exams".

I'll leave this with a great quote:
"It's better to suffer 5 years and profit 40 than profit 5 and suffer 40".

Have a reward (Netflix or whatever) after you're done studying. To study use as many inputs as you can. Read it out loud, write it down draw pictures. You're bound to remember one of them. Summarize into concepts and understand each concept.
Dedicate your life to studying nothing else until it's done. Best of luck.
Get off the internet. Take some notes. Read and read and understand what you are reading. Don't forget to rest and reward yourself (like you take a break after every chapter and reward yourself with chocolates. Find a study buddy. And more.
That's indeed correct advice. During my exams, my university would always post this image on the board: and organized desk, all entertainment shut off, a big note saying "I am currently here in my progress" and just a pencil and your books.

This reminds me to give this guy one more piece of advice! Your study area must be as sterile as possible! No junk! No phone! No extra crap! Your desk must be as clean as a university library desk! If your desk is a mess, your mind will be!

Just give yourself shorts breaks..i can't focus for that long either
Try to study with somebody. Find a tutor, helper, etc.
