If you don't know, how are we supposed to know? If you have ADHD then maybe you are on the Ritalin. It sounds to me like you want to know whether or not it keeps you awake if you use it other than its intended purpose. Ritalin will keep you awake and it will help you focus on the task at hand. However, keep in mind, you may be allergic to Ritalin and this is the risk you take if you've never used it before. Play it safe and go get yourself some Nodoze.
Good luck on your test.

i prefer adderall. I know many people who are diagnosed with ADD, but dont really have it. They take adderall and are constantly monitored by their doctors, so it cant be all that bad, right? I also know many people who take it for studying who dont have a prescription. The worse i've seen is somebody passing out from it but that may or may not have been just the adderall. Using adderall or any amphetamine will have similar effects in the long run to meth users. They may pick their faces and lose weight..... In the short run, it'll raise your blood pressure, make you need to piss and kill your appetite. there are more negative effects but those are the ones from the top of my head. To get similar effects without using a perscription drug, just drink tons of coffee and or energy drink! That's legal.

if Ritalin is prescribed for you. THEN TAKE IT as prescribed. if it is not your prescription WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ? Ritalin is a form of speed it causes your brain to fire more nuero transmitters which if you have ADD or ADHD you are lacking. GOOD LUCK & Think Smart !

The thing to watch out for is "state-dependent learning". In its true form this would mean that what you learn while on the drug would require you to be also on the drug when you take the test.

It can take up to a month to see results, so if your looking for legal speed, it's a bad choice. How about java! It's legal, will keep you up and actually, black tea has more caffiene that coffee does.

If you weren't diagnosed with ADD or ADHD then yes!
