I believe I will soon have to be hitting the library also..

I always find myself on the internet no less than 45 minutes after I start studying.

Ite, I took your advice and hit up the library for 1 1/2 hrs. before the test. I think I got through it with a C at least. On the topic of ADD, I definately think I have it. I tell my parents and they kind of just ignore it, yet they take my brother to have him tested and turns out he does have it. How can I get tested for it. I've heard you need a referral to a doctor from someone who's noticed that you may have it... Am I wrong?

No, you don't have to have a referral. ADD isn't exactly as noticeable as ADHD. As a matter of fact, it almost comes down to only you being able to recognize it. Just keep telling your parents and to have them get you an appointment with a psychologist. If you go to one already, just let him know next time you visit him. Just be straight up and honest with him, and he'll probably at least put on a test period to see if it helps you any.

Ite man, sounds good. I definately need help. I can't keep focused on anything, especially in school.

I hear you man. I was that way for the first semester and a half in college.

Well, just to put it out there, I just realized I had ADD last semester. I never had to sit down and study in highschool. Then I got to college and couldn't pay attention to anything for more than an hour and a half tops. ADD runs in my family so I went to the doctor and he gave me some magic little pills so I could read books and write reports //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

i honestly think everyone has some form of ADD

It seems that way sometime. It definitely runs in my family pretty hardcore though.

In all seriousness dude, after studying for 2 exams that I had yesterday, only 1 thing helped...Turn off your computer, leave it in your dorm, and take your books to the library. My biggest problem is that I get distracted too easily, even when I take my adderall. The library cuts out all the distractions and other "fun" things I could be doing, so I'm forced to study.
