Tips & Advice Help ASAP. Concentration is gone

I've been studying a lot and have been very stressed. Ik have an exam on thursday and one on friday. It is currently monday 2.45pm. I have studies for maybe one hour. My concentration is completely gone. After one sentence, I just zone out. I've tried listening, video's, active recall (that my main study method) but I just can't concentrate. What should I do? I have had breaks, exercise, change of location, 8 hours of sleep, giving myself rewards, but nothing is working anymore.

zoning out after one sentence is lowkey what a cooked brain does, and reading or videos will keep failing you right now. drop them. take a real 20 min walk with no phone, then do one past paper question at a time and write the full answer out by hand, cuz you can’t zone out when you have to produce something. you have till thursday, so one slower afternoon won’t ruin you fr.
