Best Time to Take Exams Discovered

Scientists have discovered the best time of day to take exams. A team worked with data from oral exams in Italy: candidates are required to take them to be admitted to Italian universities. The scientists analyzed more than 104,552 grades awarded by 680 examiners across 1,243 subjects. As a result, they established a clear success curve, peaking between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. The researchers concluded that students have a better chance of performing well in exams late in the morning rather than early in the morning or after noon. In their opinion, this pattern also applies to job interviews.
