Should I break up with my girlfriend?

For the past like 5 months, my girlfriend (long distance) has been ignoring me and saying it’s her “exam season” even though we both know her exams are in May/June same as mine. She keeps ignoring my messages, doesn’t call me anymore, and barely responds to my texts. She doesn’t do anything now whilst I who also has exam season in a few weeks, is trying to contact her as much as possible, try to be romantic with her and all that but nothing. The only way I can get to her is through her best friend who is also really good friends with me. Furthermore, she said last time I spoke with her, she said that her parents keep taking her phone, and I talked to her best friend about it and she thinks something off. Should I break it off?

yes I believe you should because my ex boyfriend did the same thing and I lose feelings quickly so I broke up with him after a month and although I miss him and it hurts I got over it and you will too hopefully if you take the right time to care for yourself I wish you the best.

Best/Easiest way is to ghost them, start off my barely texting or replying so like reply to them like once a week, say your really busy in life etc. The person will usually understand that you have locked it off and will leave you alone.

Just explain how you feel and that's why you're breaking. Be honest and be polite and leave gracefully. Maybe she has things going on so dont make it messy

lol I can’t really do that, we barely talk and she doesn’t actually message me first anymore, so basically impossible

Then just don’t say anything at all

How about you sending her a message now where you apologise for being busy with the run-up to you exams, and being distracted by a family crisis (there's always at least 1 minor crisis in every family), and therefore you won't be sending her as many messages as you have been.

And then on the day after your final exam, send her a message saying your exams are over with you saying something positive or jokey about how they went.
See if she responds. If she doesn't respond she's gone quiet on you. Which would be down to her.
If she does respond, you don't have to continue to be exclusive to her. You could put her in the friendzone. It's fine to have attractive platonic friends.

You're telling OP to do to his gf what the gf is already doing to him...
