Adderall passed the CPA exam for me. I was just an innocent bystander

I wouldn’t suggest using drugs you’re not prescribed to do work. You may become reliant and it’s a slippery slope

Took nothing for studying, took Xanax when I took all 4 parts because I’m a nervous test taker. Passed all on the first try.

Yes it helped me.

I passed all 4 the first time taking nothing. It’s possible. If you ACTUALLY need it, get a prescription. If you don’t need it, you’re gonna cause serious damage. If you really do need it, then I sympathize, but if you don’t just get it done. You’re not gonna benefit in the long run if you go that route anyway.

I agree with @EY7. If you can't get through the CPA exam without Adderall, then you probably can't get through a busy season without it, either. Don't get dependent on it if you don't actually have ADD.
