While no pill is a "magic bullet" and studying will be your best choice, Ginkgo is an herb that can be very beneficial for memory and focus and can help you study and recall what you've studied. I've seen a lot of benefits in my use of it, not to mention the thousands of customers we have that use it.
Most people may take up to 2-4 weeks to notice the full benefits of most supplements. It took me a week or two to get the benefits of Ginkgo when I started taking it, but it took 3 more weeks for me to realize that I hadn't forgotten anything in a while. LOL!!

Studying and knowing the material is the best remedy for the brain to do well on a test. This takes time not brain vitamins. There is no quick fix, but hard work is the only answer.

Also take into account whether or not you are taking any other medicines, Ginko has many drug interactions you need to take into account.
Side effects and drug interactions of herbal supplements is kind of an under researched point of many people self medicating with them.
However, study, do some exercise, eat well......itll save you money, and increase your overall health, as well as your brain.

The best brain vitamin you can take is actually exercise. Exercise increases oxygen level to the brain, glucose (brain food), and carries away wastes.
You can take gingko which helps expands the blood vessels in the brain, but it doesn't do anything to help circulation of cerebral spinal fluid which your brain needs for optimal brain function which exercise helps to increase circulation.

Gingko improves memory only in elderly people who are suffering memory loss due to stroke or dementia. It does not help memory in young people with normal function.
Save your money. Set up a study schedule and stick to it.

My daughter started taking "Focus Factor" which is supposed to help you be mentally sharp one month before her boards. She thought it helped with her concentration. She started it about 28 days before her exam so that when she was done, she wouldn't need to buy another bottle because it was expensive and they put you on that automatic reorder thing which was difficult to cancel but she felt it was worth it. Good luck.

Best time is when you no longer find simply setting fire to piles of money fun.
