    You're the only one who can make yourself study. Whatever your motivation is: getting that dream course, going to university, getting the points you feel you can achieve, not having to repeat - whatever it may be you need to find it and keep reminding yourself of it.

    At least have a crack at it now, there are only a few days left. You'll regret it if you don't.

    11 days of hard work now could save you so much time and grief in the rest of your life.

    People will tell you otherwise but you can actually cover an unholy amount with the time left.

    Don't say you'll study tomorrow, or in an hour, or in 5 minutes.

    Get off the internet and start immediately.

    As a teacher, my advice would be to timetable yourself and make sure you are achieving high quality study, for example, instead of just reading material, try summarising a chapter having read it, attempt exam questions then check them using marking schemes (download from www.examinations.ie), make yourself cards with main points of courses, etc.
    Also, if you can do so without being thought crazy, try reading the information aloud as this is proven to help retention.
    As for not being able to stop thinking about summer holidays, you need to be hard on yourself! Bit of tough love, remind yourself that unless you want to go through all this again next year for a repeat leaving cert, you need to get the head down and do your best!
    Lots of luck x
