Hi to all, in summer I'm going to apply for admission test at university and I'm considering using ritalin to improve my focus an so my score too:
the test has a lot of gmat 600-type logical questions e.g. http://gmatclub.com/forum/critical-reasoning-question-directory-topic-and-difficulty-128861.html
in particular Assumptions,Conclusion,Strengthen,Argument Weaken,Argument ,Numbers and Percents,Logical Flaw.
I've already applied once to a similar test,and I was disturbed by the noises of other people,by the feeling of time running out...I performed worse in class than I would have performed at my home.
I'm planning to ingest a 10mg pill - therapeutic dosage - about 30 minutes before the test.
The problem is that where I live generally the summer is hot (25-29 C) and during the test there will be some stress (hundrends of people waiting outside the university to take the test and eventually not much space).Also I have some general anxiety,I could fear to look "drugged" to others.
Methylphenidate is anfetamine,a stimulant,so the question is: could the hot and the stress cause problem to my circulatory system during the test?
I will take and ECG check much before taking ritalin however to minimize the risks.
Thank you.
