I finished trials last week, but lack the motivation to do any work.
I fear my restless attitude may continue for another 2 weeks
Are there any tips to motivate myself to study

start with small bits of study, then work towards a bigger goal (such as a past paper). i've almost finished trials (tuesday is my last, yay) and i'm keeping myself busy through going out, doing a bit of work here and there until the actual last day of trials so when i go back to school i won't be as unmotivated.

do a bit of the maths homework you haven't caught up on, read a book, edit your notes - all small things you can do to keep your motivation to do work a bit higher. reading some of the threads related to your subjects help as well because there's a ton of things you can add to your notes. :-)

Having a break for two weeks isn't such a bad thing! The break is a good chance to recharge the batteries ;D

As said above, just start with half an hour a day of devoted study time. Then move to an hour. Then two. Just gradually ease yourself back into the routine, it definitely won't come back all at once! A good timetable would probably help too - Here is a guide! :)
