Make sure you take breaks regularly, and whenever you feel like you need them. (I personally like the pomodoro technique, I've used it in the past and adapted the times spent studying and taking breaks to better fit me, so you can try that if you want!) 12 hours a day is a lot - there may be days when you don't manage to study as much, and that's okay. If you ever feel like you are burning yourself out, please try taking longer breaks or a day off. Sacrificing your sleep to study isn't worth it because you won't be as efficient if you're tired, so do sleep as much as you need. Remember to drink water and eat too. And to stretch, walk around, and look up from your screen from time to time if you're on a screen! Stretching can help prevent back pains if you're sitting a lot. Take care!

You could create a study schedule where you plan how long you want to study for, at what time you will study and when you should take a short/long break from studying. Personally, I would plan out studying over a course of 3-4 days where I study 3-4 hrs per day because studying 12 hours in one day may overwhelm you. Studying over the course of a few days with breaks in between your study sessions increases your motivation to study. These are just some of my study tips and hope this is beneficial to you! Good luck studying!

It’s good that you are motivated and also have a sense of direction. 12 hours is almost half a day. It would be hard to know whether you really need to study 12 hours a day or not. That’s because some people understand things and learn fast while some are slow. Also, exams test your understanding of the subject, not the hours spent.
In such a case you feel you need to spend 12 hours a day studying, you have to work in reverse. As in, eliminate everything that would impact your studies. Also, try to spend 100% of the time in the concentrated study rather than unfocussed work.

It is a very very long time. I recommend you do 15-20 minutes breaks with the little physical activity every few hours and drink tons of water. Open some windows in your flat that you have fresh air inside. If it is cold outside open it for few minutes and close it back. Works for me.
Some other tips:
Avoid distractions.
Set a timer to complete a task.
Drink plenty of fluids.
Meditate for at least 15 minutes.
Focus on one task and then move to another.
Write a success mantra on your study table or keep a calendar/wall hanging having quotes which motivate you.
Hope it helps

The goal of studying for 12 hours a day can be done by proper time management. You can make your own timetable for study and breaks in between along with your daily routine like eating and sleeping. It is recommended that you should take a break every 1 hour for 15 minutes or about 30 minutes for every 2-4 hours of study. But most importantly focus on your health as well, by eating properly (2 hours), excercise (1 hour) and proper sleep (9 hours) out of the total 24 hours. Which means you devote 12 hours to your self care and remaining 12 hours to your study. Also focus on the quality of studying rather than the quantity. If you feel tired and can't seem to focus properly, take a break because quality study will help you retain information from your brain.

When I need to study a lot in a single day I use the Pomodoro technique. The technique involves regular breaks to help your body and mind recover and maintain focus.
You start with a 25 minute session of studying, then you take a 5 minute break. When you've done that 4 time for a total of 2 hours, you take a longer break, like 30 minutes to an hour, to let your brain relax and take in the information.
Remember to listen to your body and mind so that you know if you are pushing yourself too far! Remember to eat and drink water! The Pomodoro technique helps me because it helps me remember to take frequent breaks, but it can still be exhausting after a while!
