I'm Having Trouble Studying, Any Advice?

Basically, I can't study at all. I'm in college and exams are next week. Already failed the first ones. I tried forcing myself, timers, meditation, not looking at my phone hoping I'd get bored enough to study.

If I started now I'd probably pass if I studied 5 hours a day. Trouble is everything I try just stresses me out more. I would appreciate any advice on getting through this without failing.

Try to identify, diagnose, and troubleshoot whatever obstacles are preventing you from being focused in accomplishing your studies.

Ask yourself if you've been able to get a good nights rest since the semester began. Ask yourself if you've been able to engage in moderate to heavy exercise regularly during the semester. Ask yourself if you've had any difficulties accomplishing homework assignments during the semester on time. Ask yourself if you've been successful in finding tutors to help you to better grasp the course lessons. Have your eating habits, diet, or meals changed in significant ways? Have you attended parties, when you should've been studying? Do you have a live-in girlfriend? Are relatives keeping in touch, but only sharing developing bad news? Figure out what's stressing you out, pin it down, and engage it so you can resume focusing on your classes.
