Okay, so the title says it all. Many of you might think what else type of 'motivation' do i need than exam itself! But seriously, im stuck! Im just unable to concentrate on studies and i feel drowsy and sleepy when i open the book.
I really need to pass these exams or else i'll be in serious trouble. Please give me some tips on how to focus on studies for exams! Plz.

I would "play" on the internet, studying random things that interest me about the various subjects you have studied. Find a statement you don't quite understand in a text or that intrigues you and you wish you knew more and let your imagination go.

I would start writing about the subject too; instead of "studying" and trying to cram facts into my head I would try to relate facts to what I already know. . .about other subjects! If you are studying engineering, read about Napoleon Bonaparte and his engineers, for example. If you are studying calculus, read about Newton's life and try to imagine wanting/needing to invent it so you could understand another subject. In other words, invent your own way of "learning" what it is you want to know.
