Interesting can you cite a source? I found this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2096405/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2096405/ which shows a consistent improvement in tests, but the performance increase was only 4%. I'd be willing to guess that the improvement would be higher when sleepy/fatigued (up to a point!) since it would increase the alertness of the user, but I have never seen anything that suggests cocaine boosts the ability to retain information.

Anecdata here, but I met a person in university in the 90s who claimed: 1) they had access to really, really pure cocaine, and 2) they used it to study for tests. If I recall correctly, they were only using cocaine for the studying, not the test taking, and that they had good recall on tests.
