Try breaking a large task into smaller chunks or pieces. If you have to read a long book or many books, read a couple of chapters and take a break. If you have to cover a variety of topics, you can try to take breaks between topics. When you switch to a new topic try to find connections to the previous topic. This will help you remember the information. Try to make up examples that are real or relevant to your life, like if you are studying chemistry and are interested in food, think about chemistry in terms of food. Making up examples that apply to real life will help to. Try to take a short 5 minute break every 20-30 minutes, and then at the end of the hour take a 10-15 min break. I actually work at a university and have a lot of suggestions. Feel free to message me for more.

the one you take at the end of high school. i'm from italy and it's called maturità, it's like the most important exam of your life and i'm treating it as if it was a piece of cake

@giuseppe I would say what helps me is structured time like I’ll write down my whole day and take periodic breaks so I don’t burn out. Focus first on what your struggling the most with and then figure out how long you can study for without losing focus. Take breaks and listening to music helps as well. Hope it goes well!

Grounding techniques?
I can't focus on anything but my thoughts. I'm so inside my head, and my mom always tells me to focus on my body and my surroundings, but I can't, or maybe I just don't know how. I try to, but it doesn't help. The thoughts are still there :(

Should I continue with this?
For a while now, I've been having trouble concentrating... especially when studying... so I'd play the sound of rain or a forest or something similar to distract myself, and when I'd finish and turn it off... a pile of thoughts would come back to me as if they'd piled up on me!!! Anxiety, rituals... what should I do?

Please help
Does this happen with you also, just few days or a month before exams ocd tends to increase so much that you can't study even when you sit with books after meditating and with a calm mind. Please tell me how to get out of this anxious feeling and study in a normal course. It is becoming harder day by day for me to get out of this.
