Whether or not you are taking medication, it is very possible to have ADD and make good grades. The skills you will need to work on most are organization and time-management. These are the problems that plague my students (whether or not they have ADD). Keep an agenda and create a system for organizing your work.

In a word, yes. If you develop good study skills and stick to a plan, ADD will not be a significant barrier to academic success.

It is very possible. There is technology that records lectures while you are taking notes (using a special pen) and then you can point to a place in the notes and hear the lecture at that point. Also be sure to use technology to get and stay organized--e. g. , a calendar and a to do list on your cell phone.

Yes. If you can get accommodations from your school that can help you focus better on your schoolwork, it is very possible.
