I suggest you not to worry much. It is always said "failure is the stepping stone towards success" and you seem to oversee it. Please do not blame yourself for your plight. You are to be blamed but not because you did not study, but because you did not study properly. Approach and attitude, they are the key to any success. You are supposed to refer to concentration and attention as two. Attention span for any adult is maximum 30 minutes. Sometimes, a person can be attentive to an interesting thing for more than 30 minutes, such as movies or games. Concentration is attention plus understanding. For this too, span OS below 30 minutes. If you are able to make your studies interesting and based on variable principle, your concentration level can be increased. It is also possible to improve your concentration level with the help of yoga, meditation and breathing exercises. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck. </s>
