Does anyone have experience using A314 at school, with hopes of influencing a teacher’s decision, getting them to give you bonus points, used it during a presentation, etc? Just curious.
In addition to everyday classroom uses; at some point between now (end of Junior Year) and my high school graduation, I’ll have to make a presentation in front of a panel of 3 teachers. I’m confident enough and I’m sure I’ll do fine, but do you think A314 will make them more receptive?
Thanks a lot,

a314 should work fine for giving you an edge for your your presentation. however i’m not totally sure about a314 and your age group. perhaps some more forum members can give some insight in reguards to teenagers using a314. i’m guessing that instant gentleman might be recommended by some but my gut feeling tells me a314 would work the best for you. make sure you wear it a couple times prior to the presentation so that you get use to it. i would highly recommend instant honesty to go with either of the rone mixes. you definiatly need to use instant honesty several times to get use to its effects;it can be counter productive if you’re not use to it[you never know what you might say] instant honesty and a314 works GREAT for me when i need to give an important speech or lecture.
I’m a professor and use A314 and SOE everyday. Although personality certainly has some bearing on initial impressions, the only thing that really counts as far as grading is if your work is good. Being a reasonably pleasant and personable student is helpful as we’ll be cheering for you, but ultimately it’s all about you doing the grunt work.
A314 tends to create social distance so you must wear it with authority and style, so I’m not so sure it’s the right vibe for a HS student (incongruent as they like to say here). In other words, you might send out a confusing message: I think I’m the shit but actually I’m just a HS student. Try TAA and androstenol instead.
Once again, Gegogi is right.
I also teach and I’d say that even if A314 would give an impression of authority and trust & respect, the teacher has the power, officially. It’s not an impression it’s a fact.
Moreover, wearing A314 means highering your standards. Cos what is worse than someone who looks smart but doesn’t sound smart ? “Oh, you look smart. Talk to me. …] Oh, I made a mistake, you’re not so smart. Get away!”
So wear A314 only if you’re already confident about yourself and your presentation. Don’t polish something which cannot be brilliant already.
