Something to Think About

Many psychology experiments have been performed with Ritalin on working memory and attention. Results have found that it does improve working memory compacity therefore would help on like difficult math tests because you would be able to have more numbers and formulas in your memory at one time.

This means that taking Ritalin before an important test such as the ACT, SAT, or GRE would improve your test scores. Is it fair for someone to take this drug while someone else doesn't? It's a controversy that I believe will continue to grow as prescribtion drugs abuse also continues to grow.
