For the last time, this has been asked too many times on this forum, and it is in the wrong section. Firstly, there are other threads which discuss the same issue. Secondly, if u can't concentrate while fasting, then just do one of the things. Either fast or study. If u don't want to do that, then u just have to live on.

Not too much- I don't feel hungry when I'm breaking my fast just eat a few tablespoons of soup and like a couple samosas

Are you eating enough? It doesn't sound much
On top of the tiredness from breaking sleep it won't help if you don't have enough intake to give you the energy to get through the day

We can't eat or drink ANYTHING, not even water or energy drinks till sunset

I guess the best you can do is get some fresh air and splash water in your face then. Helps me sometimes when I need to study and I haven't slept in a day. I know it's not the exact same thing but it could help.

I appreciate you can't have anything. It must be hard!
Are there any circumstances when you could have a drink?
For studies or illness for example?

There are many different circumstances...Islam isn't that harsh.
-Many people who have exams won't be fasting as that may affect them in exams.
-Elderly people so not need to fast.
-If you are ill you also do not need to.
-Plus many other reasons...

Do what Mo Farah did there was a marathon going during fasting time, so he didn't fast. He prepared for the marathon and did it the month after. Just make up for the days missed after the exams.
A couple of my friends aren't fasting on days they have exams in the afternoon, because they will have little energy. They said they will do it after.
I'm not muslim so I don't know if you're allowed to do this so check with other muslims but I think you're allowed

You shouldn't really 'break' your fast. The fasts started before exams, so many people had the chance to see if they can fast and revise. If it does not suit them then they do not have to fast during Ramadan. They would just have to make up the ones they missed at some other time. Most people catch up in Winter as the days are shorter.
