I've had a couple friends mention using either Xanax for anxiety or Adderall to help them get through it. Don't do Xanax, it has the potential to make you not give a shit enough to where you're not finishing sections nearly fast enough. Adderall works, you just can't get caught up on one problem.

I've taken them - they don't nearly as well as Xanax. They basically keep your blood pressure low, etc. to avoid the effects of anxiety. Give them a try. My understanding is they don't really have an effect on your cognitive function.

I've heard stories of people taking the SAT on LSD. But, that might be a case where one acronym cancels out another.

I will not say I have or have not tried acid, but if I were to have tried acid, I'd say the people taking the SAT on it is pretty retarded.

I know Xanax isn't a beta blocker, just figured I'd weigh in. Taking a 20 XR addy will make you focus, which for me also means reduced stress.

I recently began using the beta blockers that were given to me for public speaking (presentations, etc). On one of my first tests in my masters program, I didn't do so well. I freaked out a bit on that test and couldn't get my mind straight. It was an accounting test, and if anyone has taken one of those, you know what I mean. Anyway, I take one before every test and it helps tremendously. The best way I can explain the effect is that I feel mellow, relaxed, and sometimes almost even tired. It usually induces yawning in me about an hour after taking it. I've never taken Xanax, beta blockers aren't something people try to abuse. It doesn't really do anything for you other than lower your heart rate so that you can focus better.

I remember the first time I took one for a presentation, I was sure it wouldn't work/help. I was shaking and sweating all day before the presentation. I finally took it, and I stopped sweating and shaking. I also didn't worry as much about it. I felt in control.

Our staff, contractors, Internet service providers and others involved in this site follow this policy or similarly strict policies regarding your Information.

Disclosure

The Company is committed to fully disclosing our policies regarding the collection, use, maintenance, disclosure and security of personal information obtained from users of our site. The term "personal information" includes a name, address, email address, or any other information which could be used to contact you directly or to identify you personally.

Use and Disclosure Limitations

The Company only uses personal information about its Web site users for specific purposes. We do not share user information with third parties except when we have told users about the disclosures, when we have prior consent, or when required by law.

Use Policy: When the Company gathers personal information from users, we ask for permission first. We also disclose, at the time of collection, how the information will be used by us. Personal information is used for activities such as auto-completion of commonly-used forms and helping us contact you when you solicit information from us.

Disclosure Policy: We do not normally disclose personal information to anyone outside of the Company unless we have previously informed users about the disclosures. However, some data may be used from time to time by outside contractors, including auditors or consultants, to assist us in carrying out necessary financial or operational activities.

We use Web log information to design our Web site, identify popular features, and in similar ways. We do not try to identify individuals from Web logs or to link Web logs to other user information. However, if someone tries to damage our Web site or use it in an unauthorized or illegal way, we may share Web log information with law enforcement agencies. The Company may provide aggregate information such as the number of users who visit particular pages of the site, or the number of people who link to certain external sites from our site, to other parties.

Changes to Privacy Policy

The Company's features and services will change over time and our information-gathering practices and policies may also change.
