Ritalin does help you focus better and in the case of students trying to cram in lots of information in little time, it may help you stay focused for longer periods of time.

The fact whether Ritalin helped her focus or not is in no way indicative of whether she has ADD or not, because Ritalin would improve the focus and concentration of just about anyone even if they do not have ADHD, it is nevertheless illegal to self medicate and one would be exposing themselves to many possible short and long term side effects by self medicating with stimulants.
