I'm in a program right now for college for physical therapy and I'm in the most difficult phase of that program. I've been having a lot of difficulty concentrating, but I've been able to compensate. I like to go to coffee shops or the library to study. I don't like being alone when I study because I tend to watch movies or surf the internet or whatever. When I'm out and about, there's enough temporary distractions to keep my mind busy.
Beyond that, I'll study for about 15 minutes and take a small break before I study again. After 6 or so sessions of that, I'll take an hour or two break and than do 6 or more sessions. When you have a lot to study, it can seem overwhelming. But if you break it down into small bits of information and focus on that can work your way through the material, you'll find you've learned most if not all of the material. You might have to do it a few times, but it works. Being persistent helps.
And remember, when you fill your head with so much information, your brain will likely throw some other stuff out that might be important. I locked my keys in the car the other day and had to call the locksmith, LOL.
