I mean, clearly they're using it for a reason right? They wouldn't be seeking them out if it didn't do something good for their studying.
It provides a feeling of euphoria and thus a sense of confidence.
I think it's a bit more than that. I'm not disagreeing, though, I think most people abusing it also have ADHD. I know I wasn't diagnosed through school and when I found out about stimulants I definitely used them to study.
Self medication is certainly a possibility.
