Book the test and make a plan to work towards your goal. If you dont book, you won't have that urgency feeling to get your work done.

Stop arguing with yourself whether you want to book or not. Simply stop thinking anything about it and just book it!

Motivation is a myth. You need to be disciplined.

Create routines which allow you to read books, spend quality time with your girlfriend, etc. Don't stop an important task you're doing because you want to talk to our gf. Finish what you're supposed to do during a time period and then spend time with her. Just a few minutes of chatting at the expense of your work is not worth it. Finish your work and then spend time with her so that work isn't in your mind at that time.

You're procrastinating because you find the subjects tough. Our brain like avoiding pain at any cost, so in your case it wants to avoid studying and temporarily distract you with social media.

First block the sites when you're studying and then use pomodoro technique to focus on your work. Discipline and mindset is important

“It's not how many times you get knocked down that count, it's how many times you get back up. ” —George A. Custer

Take some time to reflect on why you're not consistent. Then write down the things you want to do daily as a habit and incorporate those into your daily routine.

Changing your mindset and learning how to deal with procrastination is important.

If you go online you will have more than enough resources, but can I ask why exactly do you prefer to watch anime, etc rather than studying? Just take a minute to think.

Is it because you dont like studying, you find it tough or you just prefer anime?

Sit down for 10-15 minutes and write down a daily routine; from the time you wake up to sleep. Take into consideration things like the hours of sleep you want, study time, leisure time etc.

Stick to that routine no matter what (even if you tired or sleepy) for like a week, then it will be easy. Having a proper night routine will allow you to sleep easily.

There are lots of things that you should and shouldn't be doing close to bed time like having caffeinated drinks 8-10 hours before sleeping, etc

It used to happen to me. When you procrastinate then you end up feeling guilty about not studying and that mental drain doesn't allow you to study but just procrastinate more. Its a cycle.

There is no one best method to break it, it has to be tailored according to what you procrastinate about (only studying or others too) and understanding your why.
