Test season is in late spring so if you do/use all these beforehand and figure out what works for you/ improve your brains cognitive abilities then that would be really good 
or if maybe you just want to be smarter and understanding 
It can be a predictor of your future academic grades and can be used in job training.
It shows that the average person today has a higher IQ than an average person 200 years ago. This shows that environments have a large effect on IQ
Factors such as better diets, education and more honing of abstract thinking have caused the increase in IQ.
This is because of neuroplasticity; the brain can be strengthened. Improving memory, processing speed and ability to learn skills faster.
These can be practiced with mobile apps like Brain Workshop.
Doing regularly could be for example, 20 minutes 5 days per week.
This trains your brain into being able to restore a greater number of memories.
A stronger memory = more logical, focused and faster.
Bilingual people are less likely to suffer the symptoms of cognitive decline, like dementia
“Bilingual people outperform monolingual people in spatial working memory tasks”
Using cognitive input, which is reading and listening to the language even if you don’t understand every word. And using flashcards and active recall to improve memory.
Musicians have been shown to have a higher IQ especially in non-verbal reasoning.
Practicing engages multiple brain regions simultaneously improving overall brain function. It has some of the same benefits of learning a new language, when you learn to read sheet music
All instruments have been shown to increase the IQ, but the instrument people practice who have the highest boost in IQ is piano/keyboard (around 7 points in one study - this is equivalent to an entire year of schooling.)
It improves BDNF (Brain Deprived Neurotropic Factor) Improves blood flow, memory and reduces brain inflammation.
Reading - Complex topics/ Higher than your reading level
Engaging with more complex and advanced material than usually. After reading a section, re-explain it in your own words simply as if you are teaching someone who has never read anything like the material anymore. Works best of Non-fiction books and dense fiction.
Builds a better knowledge base, improves vocabulary and strengthens your ability to follow complex discussions.
It increases focus by increasing wakefulness for a period of time causing you to perform better on certain tasks, should only be taken before a big exam because a tolerance can be built.
More detail later
IQ tests are used to build familiarity and reduce processing time.
Noopept + Paired with choline source and Semax can be taken before study sessions moderates BDNF and acetylcholine (regulates learning and memory), causing sharper focus and improved learning during the time period that they are being taken, which will cause brain growth (if used for academic type of material)

WHAT IS IQ
IQ tests measure the g-factor, which is the ability to recognise patterns, solve problems and process information given to you quickly.It can be a predictor of your future academic grades and can be used in job training.
IQ IS NOT FIXED
The Flynn effect proved that it is the case that we can increase IQ and it is not completely genetic - A long sustained increase in IQ scores was shown across generations around the world through the 20th century.It shows that the average person today has a higher IQ than an average person 200 years ago. This shows that environments have a large effect on IQ
Factors such as better diets, education and more honing of abstract thinking have caused the increase in IQ.
This is because of neuroplasticity; the brain can be strengthened. Improving memory, processing speed and ability to learn skills faster.
WHAT ACTUALLY INCREASES IQ
Memory training - Using mental workouts (Dual n Back)
Mental workout where you track sounds and movement which changes with time. Regular practice strengthens your memories and attention span.These can be practiced with mobile apps like Brain Workshop.
Doing regularly could be for example, 20 minutes 5 days per week.
This trains your brain into being able to restore a greater number of memories.
A stronger memory = more logical, focused and faster.
Learning a new language - Being able to conversate + read
Forces your brain to grow and create a new category and improves its function.Bilingual people are less likely to suffer the symptoms of cognitive decline, like dementia
“Bilingual people outperform monolingual people in spatial working memory tasks”
Using cognitive input, which is reading and listening to the language even if you don’t understand every word. And using flashcards and active recall to improve memory.
Learning an instrument
Practicing deliberately for around 30 minutes a day with slow focused repetition.Musicians have been shown to have a higher IQ especially in non-verbal reasoning.
Practicing engages multiple brain regions simultaneously improving overall brain function. It has some of the same benefits of learning a new language, when you learn to read sheet music
All instruments have been shown to increase the IQ, but the instrument people practice who have the highest boost in IQ is piano/keyboard (around 7 points in one study - this is equivalent to an entire year of schooling.)
Cardio
Sustained exercise for around 30 minutes a day, like swimming, running, cycling.It improves BDNF (Brain Deprived Neurotropic Factor) Improves blood flow, memory and reduces brain inflammation.
Reading - Complex topics/ Higher than your reading level
Engaging with more complex and advanced material than usually. After reading a section, re-explain it in your own words simply as if you are teaching someone who has never read anything like the material anymore. Works best of Non-fiction books and dense fiction.
Builds a better knowledge base, improves vocabulary and strengthens your ability to follow complex discussions.
Modafinil (Stimulant)
Taking 100mg of Modafinil before exams or an IQ test. Improves dopamine and histamine.It increases focus by increasing wakefulness for a period of time causing you to perform better on certain tasks, should only be taken before a big exam because a tolerance can be built.
More detail later
Learning Patterns
Practicing tests for standard IQ tests, using workbooks/ online pdfs of practice questions on tests like WAIS. Analysing your mistakes and forming pattern recognition to the problem types.IQ tests are used to build familiarity and reduce processing time.
Semax/Noopept
Short term use of nootropics can enhance focus, clarity and recall.Noopept + Paired with choline source and Semax can be taken before study sessions moderates BDNF and acetylcholine (regulates learning and memory), causing sharper focus and improved learning during the time period that they are being taken, which will cause brain growth (if used for academic type of material)
Caffeine and + L-theanine
100mg caffeine and 200mg L-theanine taken on an empty stomach half an hour before a test / task. Creates the same mild effect as Modafinil, caffeine acts as a stimulant and L-theanine would promote calmness added together causes calmed focus which is the best mindset for tests etc.Building steady system
- Sleep (7-9 hours)
- Cardio (30 minutes)
- Explained more later
Memory
- Memory training (Dual n Back (20 minutes, 5 days a week)
Processing speed
- Puzzles (Suduko, Mental arithmetic games)
- IQ worked questions
Crystallised intelligence ( learned knowledge from prior experience to solve a problem)
- Reading complex material (anything technical that interests you)
- Feynman Technique
Spatial intelligence (Visualisation)
- Jigsaw puzzles
- 3D modelling
- Chess
Increasing Neuroplasticity
- Juggling can increase gray matter
- Gray Matter - Responsible for processing information, memory and emotions, juggling for like 30 minutes a day improves vision motor and coordination. Strengthening brain connectivity.
Nootropics and Stimulants (Cognitive enhancers)
Stimulants (Adderall, Modafinil etc.)
- Pros - Increases focus and alertness improving study sessions.
- Doesn’t improve logical thinking and problem solving long-term
Nootropics (Semax, Alpha-GPC etc)
- Pros - Causes neuroplasticity, memory and protection of neuropathways.
- Better for long-term cognitive enhancements
Creatine (5g/daily) - Boosts short term memory, reasoning and processing speed, especially under stress and a lack of sleep. It provides extra energy to brain cells causing you to perform better.
Omega-3 (2g/daily) - Improved memory and decreases cognitive decline, it improves brain nerve transmissions and decreases inflammation. Improves verbal, reasoning and memory and spelling skills.
Alpha-GPC (300-600mg) - It’s a source of choline, boosts acetylcholine which is a neurotransmitter relating to memory and learning. It is also proven to improve intention, reduce interference and boost memory. Benefits are also faster information processing causing faster working in tests and study sessions.

- Headaches, brain fog
- Mild nausea, head pressure (when not used in a stack)
Semax (600mcg/daily, using a nasal spray) - This is synthetic peptide which has a brain boosting, neurone protecting, memory and attention effect. It influences brain chemicals like BDNF. Should be cycled as it can cause dependence.
It’s best at increasing motivation and focus allowing you to learn new things and problem solve, this is because it causes a prolonged and significant increase in dopamine
Some significant IQ increases have been shown (10 points in a journalists Mensa test) but that's not clear scientific proof. Benefits are stronger when fatigued / stressed.
- Nasal irritation, head pressure

- Insomnia, overstimulation
Adderall - Acts as a stimulant, significantly improves focus, attention and brain functioning. Causes enhanced performance, specifically in those with ADHD, long-term studies have shown neurocognitive benefits.
It allows distractions to be filtered by increasing neurotransmitters like dopamine.
Closest thing to a limitless pill:
Cerebrolysin (Peptide blend which was originally used in stroke and brain injury recovery)
Can only be used as an injectable, which isn’t a stimulant. It hones improvement of neurotransmission, increases brain ability to form new neurone attachments and forming new synapses and also works in brain repair. (Improves neuroplasticity basically)
(5ml IM daily for 20 days)
Stacked with Alpha-GPC and cognitive training to get its full effect.
This is the most powerful neurogenerative compound available.
