Think about the impact this exam could have on your career. What grade do you want to get? How important is it not to fail the exam outright?
If you come to the conclusion that the outcome of this exam will affect your future in a way that you care about, then that alone should be enough motivation to study.

A few other things:

  • Try to eliminate distractions by putting your phone and computer on flight mode.
  • Work through a past rendition of the exam under exam conditions and don't stop until you're done or stuck.
  • Most importantly, ask questions when you need to. There is no shame in asking for help if you are struggling. It can also be great practice to help others in return: If you can explain to someone else how to approach a particular problem, you've probably got a good grasp of the material.

The thing is i would likley pass it without studying and it wont really impact my future since a good score is only needed if youd liek to become a doctor or a lawyer other than that no one really looks at the score. I would like to get a really good score tho just for the bragging rights and the fact that my friend will buy me a döner. I will try the phone blocking, that seems like a good idea. Thank you
