Begin at the beginning. Do you still have your textbooks from semester 1 and 2? Get the first book and start on page 1. If there is something you don't understand, ask the teacher for help, or ask a classmate who did pay attention.

 

But you won't pass your exams, if they are soon. You can't learn 1.5 years of Chinese in a few weeks. Is there a way you can retake the exams if you fail now?

Huh...

 

So studying seems boring and you have fallen behind so you have some catching up to do? Hopefully I got that right.

 

I took a lot of intensive Chinese and live in Taiwan and at one point really fell behind on the characters... felt pretty lost really. Just studying characters didn't work too well for me. What was helpful was writing my notes and daily plans (not for classes but just general plans) in 中文.

 

It was really slow going at first but then my writing got faster and faster and my vocabulary built and I had a practical use for everything I was learning. So maybe try that...
