However, cramming a semesters worth of information isnt always enough.
Sometimesanxietytakes over while being presented with a quiz and everything you ever knew evaporates from your mind.
So far, the research on drinking and test-taking is quite contradictory.
Therefore, it cant be fully trusted.
Molly Carlyles and her teams findings from the University of Exeter in 2017 were similar.
Theirstudyclaims that drinking alcohol before taking a test can improve memory and information retention.
This has been proved by finding a link between frequent drinking and lower grade point averages.
Alcohol, even in small amounts, can slow reaction times, impair memory, and reduce problem-solving ability.
Students are more likely to misinterpret questions, rush through the test, or make careless mistakes.
There are also short-term memory problems associated withdrinkingalcohol, like difficulty recalling what was just studied.
Sometimes alcohol increases drowsiness, too, and students need to be awake and alert when taking a test.
Drinking is not, she concludes.
