Adderall for exams?

I have two exams tomorrow. They are around 7 hours apart... One is physics and other is biochemistry... I studied for both and feel like I know everything HOWEVER will taking adderall help? Oh and I studied for them on adderall the whole weekend and for the past two weeks without adderall.

Personally, it would just make me horny and then give me a horrible crash after like..30 minutes.

Adderall isn't just going to make you smarter all of the sudden. If you've studied plenty don't be stupid, get a good nights rest tonight. It will help far more than staying up all night and cramming will if you've already covered the material. Especially if you have a test 7 hours after the first. Amping then crashing after the first test could spell disaster for the second one.

i think adderall is hit or miss. other people swear by it, but it just makes me a little sick to my stomach and makes me want to do laundry. and smoke cigarettes. lots and lots of cigarettes.

I have no experience with adderall, but I find that being as straight as possible is best for tests.
I abstain from even caffeine for tests. I have two physics tests next week
BTW, what physics class is it?

Apparently taking a test in the same or a similar state of conscious as you were in while studying is the best thing to do. Its what my psych prof told me anyway..
I would take that adderall.. but maybe dont take such a high dose? Dont wanna be tweakin bad during the exam and make a bunch of stupid mistakes because you're rushing through it.

stop lying to the dude, everyone knows speed increases your intelligence like some crazy buff spell in some crazy dnd world.
Man, eat so much speed the fucking librarian in your head doesn't know when and where to stop. I swear she will grab the right book out of habit.

I wouldn't mind some adderall right now, actually. I enjoy the buzz very much.

Do it and expect to be up all night, I know I would be..as long as you dont expect to sleep at all, because you wont. But dont do a lot, speed is bad for you, yo.

I haven't had a crash on it yet. A few bumps of some nice generic non-XR 20mg pills would do me quite good, I haven't used since school so my tolerance will be nice and low.

I don't want to be up all night. I just want to take it tomorrow right before the exams, I'll take it twice if I have to. But then again I have a chemistry lab that day too... I guess I shouldn't be on it while fucking with chemicals.

It shouldn't be a problem, just doesn't seem necessary at all. Although Acyl raises a good point, that's not the first time I've heard that theory. Sounds like you did more studying and retaining of information while sober though. I would recommend you save your pills and take it sober.

I usually just use it to study. If I took it during the test I'd end up spending the whole time on the one problem I don't know just because I'd be so focused on that. Plus I have a really hard time spelling on adderall so I figure if it does that its best not to take the test on it.
