Reduce your stress levels through diet and exercise. Stress interferes with clear thinking. Take intentional breaks from studying. Walk around the block and think healthy thoughts while you walk.
For the next two months, eject interferences. Things such as alcohol, TV, internet, gaming, dating, long phone calls, bad people, fast cars, etc. You'll know what these things are for you when you read this. You'll have plenty of time for that stuff down the road.
Listen in class. Stop taking notes when you should be listening. Listen in class. Stop daydreaming when you should be listening. Learn the cues. When the instructor emphasizes key points, don't miss it. Listen, listen hard. Stay focused.
Practice taking tests. Use practice exams when and if possible that have similar structure to the nuke school exams (I don't know about these anymore, it's been a while).
Keep studying hard, but be willing to take breaks when your mind is mush. Return to studying when your mind has had a chance to rest (a good time to exercise your body).
Take time out to review the older stuff now instead of waiting until the last minute. Hang in there and you will probably make it.
Oh, and start praying, if you are not already. Prototype (not sure it is still called prototype) is next and it's not a cakewalk.
