I was 50th percentile on the CAT in 2nd grade, unmedicated.
I was 90th percentile on the CAT in 3rd grade, medicated.

I've gone on to have a nice successful career and life. But without meds and help... No way.
Not because I became smarter, but because I could concentrate for the time IQ tests take.
