Bryce- There's no substitute for really learning the material, and there's a lot of time until June to do that. Another way to give your mind a mental workout, but is fun, is to play a mentally challenging game, such as chess. If you can't find a human opponent, get a chess program and play against the computer. I'm not kidding, it really works.
That being said, I'm somewhat interested in cognative enhancement. I've found that Gingko has helped me maintain focus. It's effects are suble though, don't expect the feeling you'd get from coffee. Speaking of which, I find coffee to enhance my cognitive abilities , and if it didn't mess up my sleep, I'd be at Starbuck's many a day. Piracetam is widely used for cognative and neuroprotective purposes. It is not available in the US, and has to be ordered overseas.
