Try dextroamphetamine sulfate (5mg), 2mg of nicotine and nofap and then reading for hours. You're either not serious or not smart if this fails.

you actually dedicate time to studying (garbage you will never need in your life again and that might be insignificant even for the exam you take if you get a list of stuff you actually need to study)
often times you find out what you need to study just days before an actual exam, or in my case, 24 hours- 5hrs 40mins as of the time of writing. either that you fail an exam and bet off of that exam what the retake will look like, also as was my case

a friend managed to source modafinil off some indian import site to europe and i payed for some pills. is the search easy enough for dextroamphetamine or do i need to dig deep/ask to be spoonfed? also is nicotine gum any good?

That's bad. You should be given it at the start of the course in the syllabus. If you're being given it at the last minute you should complain about it, tell them it should be on the syllabus.

if you aren't able to fully understand the concepts that you are being taught during lectures, then your iq is too low to actually pass exams without cheating
