Please help me get motivated!

You probably don't care about some random student that you'll probably never meet, but I beg of your advice.
The problem is, I'm in the middle of life changing exams but can't sit in front of books and learn - I've got no will or motivation to do so.
If I continue like this, I will get mediocre results but will always know that I could have done so much better.
I try, but that doesn't seem to be enough. There's content I have to go through but just can't. Please, if any of you know something that will help, please share it.

    If you are studying to be a Dr. quit! I wouldn't want you
    as my Dr. Find a vocational school that will give you a
    job you will enjoy.

    If your studying to get a degree in classical litature.
    I don't think you will find a job so don't study.

    What are your life options? If you have no monetary incentive, then, why bother? Social pressure can help. Are you not curious? What would you be doing otherwise? You say "life changing" exams. That tells me you feel their important. Are you competitive? Like sport? Its a game. Just do it. More knowledge is better than less.

    Nose to the grindstone!

    We all have jobs to do, and yours is study and smash this exam.

    Struggle now and live the rest of your life as a champion.

    I guess it all comes down to priorities. How important are the benefits of doing well on these tests to you? If they are important, then you will buckle down and do the job; if not then why not just leave school and begin your career at Micky D's, now?

    Well, the problem is biological. Could be solved with some psychotherapy or certain circunstancial changes on your environment, routine, diet, habits.

    Don't want to encourage you to buy or sell drugs. They do random tests for smart drugs. Don't know about your college. You could try Ritalin, Modanil, Adderal. It will help you out for sure. If you could get a legal prescription it would be great for both your health and consciousness. If not, make sure that the medicine is genuine and not counterfeit.

    Study the drugs throughly and decide which one it's best for you, use only when necessary.
