Sometimes people will say they are "focused like a laser" on something.
"...like a rocket" would not be right

"Studying like my life depended on it."
...would mean studying very intensely and desperately, like cramming for a test. "[X] like my life depended on it" is a pretty well-known expression for doing something in an intense, focused way.
There is not standard slang for this specific situation that I can think of though.

When you study really hard for a test in a short amount of time, you might say "I crammed for the test."

Studying so hard that my brains are oozing out my ears.

I often add 'crazy' as an adjective to denote intensity such as
"Studying like crazy."
"Working like crazy"
And sometimes I say
"Studying like a fiend" which simply means to study obsessively and work hard.

I second "studying like crazy" as another good choice

If you are having a really good, productive study session, you could say "I'm in the zone". (You could also say this if you're doing really well at other things, like a sport or something)

It's kind of crude and distasteful, but you can say "I'm studying my ass off." It's very slangy lol
