concerta is supposed to be a replacement for adderal but it uses the Oros technology, which allows for long term time release, making the effect less drastic as teh drug enters your system. |

aren't amphetamines considered illegal drugs (ie. speed)?

you ppl got it all wrong
taking substances to study better
you just need to study more effectively
you need to change the way you study
the way most ppl study is largely ineffective
that is because people are not taught the tricks to study better.
If you study better, you get better marks and you have more time to do other things. |

basically chocolate does the trick, generally anything sweet, I think in some expiraments people that ate sugar scored higher in IQ tests than when they did when they had no sugar
|
Having a higher IQ does not mean better concentration and/or memory. |

I agree. :( They are two separate factors. |

i drank a starbucks frappucino to study for a final. I think it worked. It had a lot of sugar, and i dont know how much caffeine it had though.
what about those drinks called "boost" or something. |

i expected you to say that dave rofl
well when trying to memorize a list of things
i always break it down to acronyms
i find it's faster because when you remember the acronym, you remember what's with it.
i also find that you should prepare a few days before
like an hour or two 3 days before
then an hour or two 2 days before
i find being prepared
when memorizing big numbers or facts
break them down into chunks
143879765495090
let's say this was an answer to a question on a test
break it down to 143 879 765 495 090 (5 chunks)
the mind can only hold 7+ or - 2 bytes of info (which i learned in consumer psychology) memorizing the whole thing would be 15 bytes and not easy to remember. 3 chunks of 5 is only 3 bytes, so the mind has an easier time. Now sadly I'm not in the 7+ or - 2 bytes category because I'm in the 1.8% of the population who have a photographic memory. Extremely powerful when you choose to care (which is rare hehehe) but I remember in pictures. So accurate that i remember pictures of pages but then again, I need to use the same memory tricks as everyone else. I also find having a friend to test with your notes helps because they can bounce it off you and you off of them (now guys this is not trying to score with the hottie that is studying with you.....that's for after the test you lamahs). Also ASK QUESTIONS TO PPL WHO UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. Most people I find just accept not understanding a concept...ask ppl who do!...i understand university courses are not the best because the teacher blabs at you for 2-3 hrs and you leave. Finally, GET SLEEP, i find taking a test when I am tired.....does not work because your mind is not at full capacity. Also find you if you are a morning, afternoon or evening person and study during that time. I tend to study mid afternoon if possible because i find my mind is the freshest. Now these are some of the tricks that i have learned and it won't work for everyone because everyone learns different. |
