I've purchased some memory pills and i'm still curious about what other types of pills are out there...
I understand that this is a controversial issue amongst fellow HSC peers and i'd like to hear from anyone else's opnion on this matter.
In addition to this, does anyone have any motivational stories (e.g. significant improvements etc...)

I go to a selective school and when i reflect on my performance thus far, i consider myself to be very average. Of course there are those students that are virtually impossible to beat. However, there is a crowd that i strive to beat... I just want to know that there are people out there, that are going through a similiar type of ordeal...
Any comment, advice or discussion will be much appreciated.

Thank you (in advance)...

Why do u need pills in order to study and achieve what u want to achieve. Its all about drive. If u want it enough u can always get it. Pills may even be a hinderence.

Do whatever u want, it may act as a placebo and help u that way.

since you go to a selective school, there's some chance that you would have done some latin. do happen to know the first-person future form of "to please"? ;)

besides, your body is a machine limited by your environment/habits. getting it to run harder than usual means burning out earlier or doing irrevocable damage to it.

so... still up for them caffeine pillz?

I don't believe that speed pills (dexies, etc) actually help...not for me anyway as they just makes me feel like shit and give me headaches after an hour or so. I think speed usually just fools people into believing they do better in exams...

They are these tablets called Gingko Biloba. It helps you concentrate and aids in the efficiency of your memory. :) You can get them from Woolworths, Big W, etc

there is no need for tablets...

Honey is an excellent source to further enhance ur memory ... just one spoon of honey a day should do the job


pomegranate is the best... even better than honey... trust me on this... it's cheap and available at ur nearest shopping centre or any fruit market....

u don't need tablets... Pace T i couldn't agree with u more...

it's all right infront of u... I'm sure u have fruits at home... really that's all u need...
also having a balanced diet wouldn't hurt...

are they expensive?
Probably around $10-$20 for an amount I'm not sure of :p

And if you're stressed, take Vitamin B, it helps you relax. For those who are reluctant to take vitamins, eat mushrooms (yum) or Vegemite (which have a great source of vitamin B).

My mum is always trying to give me all these traditional litle memory things.

Personally I find study always helps.
