So I have three next week 2 the week after that and 3 at the beginning of June... *Face palm* I've been revising like crazy but no information seems to be going in... Any ideas on what I could do?!

You could try pictures and association of things that can help some people.
Rewriting and rewriting and then testing yourself.
Orally speaking what you have to learn out loud, recording it into a cd and listening to it.
Making posters to stick around relevant to what you need to learn
Everyone learns differently it's just about finding the right thing that works for you

Definitely helpful, I always highlight my revision guides as it makes it so much easier to read
There are some good ideas on here. Lots of people find using colour helpful, and reading things out loud/recording themselves so they can hear the information.
It might be an idea to try testing yourself to see what you do actually know. It often feel like things aren't going in, but then when the pressure is on you realise you do actually know more than you think. Find out what you know now, then you can build on it before the exam.
I have no powers of concentration at all at the moment, and I'm finding straight memorising difficult. I don't know what subjects you're doing but I've found doing exercises and tasks a lot more useful than learning things off by heart. For example, I've been translating two articles a day (rather than memorising vocabulary and grammar) and I've been drawing cartoons of things about a play I'm supposed to be learning about.
