You're studying wrong.

I've got no suggestion on how to study correctly as we all learn in different ways but whatever you're doing now clearly isn't working.

As an example, I've got ADHD and I learn through doing. I could spend eight hours miserably staring at text books and retain nothing... but if I instead study by constructing or finding an applicable problem and struggle through solving it I'll retain quite a bit.

If you can't solve that problem, can you solve another slightly easier problem? Sometimes it is the level of difficulty that is too high for the moment, and you have to find something a little less challenging and repeatedly conquer that before you are capable of the more challenging problem. You may also be experiencing some anxiety because you are telling yourself you can't remember it or do it. To work on this you will have to change your attitude toward your ability and working on the easier problems may also help you gain more confidence.

These are just suggestions from a veteran teacher who works with many students with the same issues; these are the things I've seen help the most. I hope they help you!
