My stamina is horrendous! I haven't done so bad in med school, but that is because I can study in spurts with 2+hour breaks in between. This shows in my USMLE practice tests-I wind up dropping 30%age points by the last block. Any advice? How do you guys study for 8+ hours straight? I have yet to go beyond 6.

Well nobody can study in a row. You have to take breaks in between for a better performance.

I meant 6 hours in the 15 hour day, not straight.
I study for 1 hour and then take a 2 hour break. If I try to sit down before those 2 hours are up, I feel cloudy and can't pick anything up.

COME ON! OF COURSE YOU CAN DO IT! 
JUST THINK ON YOUR EXAM DATE THAT IS COMING... AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO EXPEND MORE TIME ON YOU CHAIR!!
Try studing with Goljan's audios & slides at the same time, It works for me (I was almost 12 hours a day taking notes and all that...)
God bless you and help you!!
