Because it still helps you stay awake and focus better. Also you tend to get a euphoric feeling. I always used to think I aced tests after I took them even if I didn't.

Experiences vary.

I'm planning to use adderall XR 30mg's about once every other day/sometimes everyday, for the next week or so to catch up and study for my finals. i won't be using them to avoid and alter my sleeping pattern i.e i'll usually take one during the day around 10 am and then study all day, and sleep at my normal time around 12-1 AM. i have only used adderall a couple of times before when i really slacked off, and didn't really experience a "crash" after the effect wore off. have any of you guys done something similar and found that once you stopped taking it you couldn't focus at all for the next week? because if that happens i'll be really ****ed coz i have finals next week haha.

If you stop taking it cold turkey, you may experience withdrawal symptoms.

I don't know why you would stop taking it before finals unless your doctor advised you to, or unless you only have enough (since you don't have a prescription) to last you until finals are over.

I don't have a prescription. I am using them to study all day during finals week.

Come to think of it, I think ill just go to the library and study normally instead. I don't wanna risk getting fatigued next week and not being able to concentrate on my finals when I stop taking it. Not to mention any of the other risks.
