Adderall before an exam, good idea?

[Turn]

Yo should I pop a pill before the exam, think it will help any? Also its not Adderall but Focalin, 10mg xr. Will it have the same effects I have never taken it for studying before.

Not likely unless you have ADD, or need to stay awake at home for homework.

It can make you look high so I wouldnt.

But what do I know I'm only a doctor :P

It never made me look high.

[TopNotchStoner]

Always makes me looks cracked-out.

Coming down I saw it, but maybe during the 'up' I was just too high to notice. http://www.hipforums.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif

once i popped 90mg of adderall before my history exam...my average grade for history had been an F throughout the year...one of the hardest teachers i've had too date. The adderall brought forth information from my mind...and made taking the exam fun. i aced the thing.

Only if you actully have ADD, otherwise you might over think the questions.

I thought they were suppose to focus and calm your random lunie voice in my head..., I mean you had

barely anyone 'actually has add'

if youve never tried it before, perhaps dont take it before an exam. its different for different people. it doesnt help me study at all, it makes me want to play videogames or something. but doing an actual exam might be alright. just make sure its not the first time youve ever tried the drug or you might get distracted during the exam when you start to observe new experiences

im not sure about focalin, but adderall makes me so much more into tests and exams. i really get into the questions, and it is especially useful on essay tests. if you haven't done it, maybe you should try it once before. i used to use it all the time for studying. it completely gets rid of hunger, so you dont need to take any breaks, and you get so focused and excited about studying! its crazy and a weird experience, but fun.

This is not scientific or proven, simply the conclusions all of my friends and I have reached.

Adderall is great for studying and papers. It is good for written and multiple choice tests. It is AWFUL for calculative tests (math, chem, physics, etc).

The problem with those tests is that you get so caught up in every single aspect of working a problem, making sure over and over again that you did it correctly. But it is very helpful for tests that require memory recall (history) or writing (english).

usually any stim will allow you to think quicker and clearer, in some cases caffeine works well. also if you study on any drug and do the test on the same drug you will be able to remember things easier.
