While I lack the capacity to offer any advice on whether or not you have ADD, I can certainly say our personalities overlap in terms of memory. I rely heavily on technology to assist me with keeping on schedule, keeping lists, producing study materials, etc.

BUT, I can recommend a book that will help you with any oral exam or presentation. Methods offered by the author are taken from Aristotle's memory methods that leverage something known as "memory palaces" as well as other memory techniques. Give it a try!
