Not knowing how many exams you need to study for the only advice is as follows.
Start by dividing up the number of exams by the amount of time you have each day to study. Starting with your weakest subject give this subject a larger amount of time. Then the next subject will be the first exam(S) followed by the ones there after. As you take the exams give your expand your study time for the remaining exams.
Make sure you leave enough time to eat and to sleep at least 8 hours. You cannot do well on your exams if you haven't eaten properly or gotten a good nights rest.
Find away to destress as stress is not helpful.
Good luck

This is something you will have to bring up with your teachers and perhaps the school counselor so they can give you ideas of what to try and what might be available as help with prioritizing and organizing and of course where to turn for help on dealing with stress. You are right that fellow students already have as much as they can handle just doing their own stuff and its been too long since parents have been in school and current day school may not be something they can even relate to. I know it changed a lot when my kids were in school like for example, senior projects. That didn't exist when I went to HS. Once you have gotten some input from the school, your parents need to be aware of what to do to help keep you on track. If you tend to fall apart under pressure and time limits no matter what the challenge is, not just school, then you may want to see some professional counselor for help with that because the ability to handle stress to some extent is going to be needed in your adult life for a job, commuting, being able to juggle bills and pay on time, etc. so this is an issue that you may have to deal with even after graduating. While you are still a student under your parents insurance, even college age, you will qualify for counseling and or medical help, but only before you graduate so you may want to speak to the parents and perhaps and info gathering meeting of you, the parents with school counselor may be best. I remember even back in middle school having a meeting for one child with their teachers who spelled out what was lacking. Some of it was stress, not being organized and also part laziness and it was helpful for us as parents to know what the full deal was and how to encourage and help our kid stay on track. In case you wonder, it was just a phase at that age and she went on to do great in HS and college. Don't leave the parents out but they will need some constructive advice from school authorities as to how to help you.
