Okay so I am in senior year. Here 12th grade is VERY important..My admissions into a good college will be only on the basis of the marks I score in my "board examination" which is held at the end of the year. The papers are not checked by my teachers but by some other teachers who don't know me and are teaching in some other school. This is done to make the examination fair. The cutoffs for any college where i live (new delhi) are CRAZZY. I mean nothing below a 475/500 is acceptable.
I have Physics, Chemistry, Computer science, English and Maths as my subjects.
Im telling you all of this just so that you know there is a lot of pressure to perform well.. and I have to in order to get a good college.
Ive just been real distracted for a while. I don't know how to concentrate on my studies. I dont feel like sitting with my books. It is freaking me out because every day matters to me. Please help!!!!! (link)

Because you live in a different culture it is hard for me to give you sound advice. I don't fully understand the pressures. But I would say that you are letting the pressure affect you and that's why you can't concentrate. I know its important on the outside, but really, your whole life will not be about what college you get into. There are so many other things that will happen to you that will shape your life and who you become that have absolutely nothing to do with school. That being said, try to take some of the pressure off yourself by giving yourself a break. Take one day a week off from studying to do something that you enjoy. Or try taking mini breaks during your study days to relax, talk with friends or enjoy an activity. Your brain needs a rest! You're freaking yourself out and the only way to get over it is to find some time to just relax. You may feel guilty at first because you are not studying, but trust me, in the long run it is better for your brain and your emotional health to take a break every now and then. Then you will feel refreshed when you return to your studies. Good luck. You will be just fine, no matter what happens, I promise.
