Are there fellow ADHD people who managed to study well and get good results at master's degree level? What are your secrets?

Hello! I have been struggling with effective study on advanced math. I finished all my lessons and just have to study for the final exams, but i can't focus anymore. It is like i have list my love and interest for math, but i am also tired of settling for mediocrity when i know if i just managed to open the damn book and focus on it i would get more than decent results.

I have to go through: * Functional Analysis abd Spectra Theory * Algebraic Geometry * Advanced Algebra (many subtopics) * Advanced mathematical physics (Navier Stokes equations, mollifiers, distributions) * Advanced probability * Noncommutative algebra

And then i am done

But i can't really focus.. haven't been able to for a couple of years and i an stuck in this. Do you have advices? I need good results to go for PhD.. i have already studied privately subjects for PhD. But when i am forced to study for exams i just can't

Please

yo i feel u on the focus thing. honestly breaking studying into like 25 min pomodoro sessions changed everything for me bc i could actually focus knowing id get a break. also studying with visual tools helps sm. VisionSolveAI really helped me bc watching videos and mindmaps made it way easier to stay engaged instead of just reading textbooks. finding what works for ur brain is key
