Dua's for success in exams

To remember forgotten things:

The following dua’a was taught by the Holy Prophet (S.A.) to Ali (A.S.), to be recited after every obligatory Salaat, for developing a flawless memory. You can make it a habit or at least increase recitation of this dua for exams time period :

سُبْحانَ مَنْ لا يَعْتَدي عَلى أهْلِ مَمْلَكَتِهِ سُبْحانَ مَنْ لا يَأخُذُ اَهْلَ الاَْرْضِ بأَلْوانِ الْعَذابِ سُبْحانَ الرَّؤوُفِ الرَّحيمِ اَللّـهُمَّاْجَعلْ لي في قَلْبى نُوراً وَبَصَراً وَفَهْماً وَعِلْماً اِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَي قَديرٌ .  

Glory be to Him who does not treat the citizens of His Kingdom unjustly and harshly, Glory be to Him who does not let torment and pain come suddenly upon mankind, Glory be to the Compassionate, the Merciful. O Allah fill my heart and mind with true enlightenment, discerning intelligence, quick understanding and knowledge, Verily Thou art able to do all things.

For good expressiveness in exams/ viva :

Prophet Musa had a problem of non fluent speech, This is the supplication of Prophet MUSA (peace be upon him)in surah taha, which he did to get compassion of ALLAH subhana hu wa tala :
