Taking vyvanse before the ACT

You have problems focusing because you're not preparing properly. I would work the equivalent of 2 ACTs using Princeton Review during one session. Take only the one allotted break per test.

I thought an 18 would get you into LSU.

no thats the score you need to get into the LSU kindergarten lab school .

Vyvanse really does help, but as stated earlier, you should see a natural increase in your score having already taken it once. Depending on your dosage you might experience jitters etc.

Good luck though. Class of 2017?

It will probably help, but I would do a test run or two so you know how you operate on it. Like others have said, the most helpful thing is just getting used to the exam and practicing it. A drug like vyvanse will allow you to concentrate harder for longer, but it won't make you smarter or more prepared for the type of questions on the test. Just make sure that you're able to still pace yourself correctly and that there's no adverse effects. I know when I've dabbled in such meds, I would easily lose track of time because I became so focused on something I forgot about the big picture.
