You say you're got to take 3 papers and a test- sometimes even though rationally you know that this isn't a huge amount, emotionally it feels like you'll never be able to do it.
How about breaking it down into much much smaller steps- maybe today or tomorrow you could look at the requirements for just one of the papers, the day after look on the internet or go to the library to get some articles or references, the next day read just a little bit...
Breaking big tasks down into half hour or so, easily manageable tasks helps you get things done even when it seems like doing anything is too hard.
*hugs* Just about all of us have been there and you come out of it eventually- the only thing is to keep going and do what you can until it passes. *hugs*
