Perhaps if you were more specific about the context in which you wanted to improve your abilities it will be easier to provide some advice. The problem I see with targeting global areas such as intelligence (as defined by standard IQ tests) and memory is that for one thing, the standard measurements for these traits typically give a more or less static and you would typically not see improvements on them.

The second and more important concern is that these things are not really relevant areas to target if your looking to improve yourself as a student. To be a better student, there are other things I'd imagine you would have to focus on, such as study skills, time spent on school work, etc...I can provide plenty of examples of these from School Psych field if your interested.
