I'm shit at keeping my concentration while studying, and all my courses in uni involve only memorizing information.
I can keep my concentration while performing interacting tasks that you need to find a solution for.
How do you get better att keeping your concentration while stuffing your brain whit info? I need my computer for my books and lectures.

For me it's impossible to study with a computer/phone nearby. The Internet addiction is just too strong.
Is it possible to print out stuff you need to learn? It might be easier to concentrate.

delete whatever distracts you. dont try to fight the boredom and accept it when you are. then it wont feel that bad. so basically work and then do nothing after. it will be nice if you try to get used to it.

If you're using sites like this to procrastinate then try coldturkey, it's a program that'll hard-block you from any distracting sites or programs. Don't go overzealous with it and block shit for a year or whatever, you'll crack easier.
Aside from that I suggest getting out of your present surroundings
Ask somebody else to study with you. Preferably not somebody you're close to, since that'll give rise to dicking around. The commitment will anchor you into focusing.
I have an exam coming up and currently trying to study for it. I can somewhat concentrate, but the information goes in one ear and out the other so to speak..
Does anyone have any tips?

Try fun ways of memorizing the information. Be kid. Sing, draw, dance if you like.
What works for me is associating the information with some stupid obscure shit tier humor.

Exercise, and eat your vegetable.
Don't overload your courses, take the bare minimum.
Less stress, more free time.
As everyone said, turn off the internet. If you're struggling, persist, you'll get used to it.
Don't do too much per day. Delete Facebook. And other social media.
Disable your smartphone, delete most apps and internet browsers.
Meditation may or may not work.
In any case, you need to get used to it.
Of course it's hard to sit and do problems for an hour or so.
But you'll see it gets easier.
Discipline, OP. It's fucking important.
