" Students who are allowed to take water into exams may benefit from improved grades, new research suggests. Scientists at the universities of East London and Westminster studied 447 undergraduate students, recording whether or not they brought drinks into exams. They found that those who took water into their exams tended to achieve better results than those who did not. The trend remained even after students&amp;#039; general ability - as determined by their coursework marks - had been taken into account. Dr Chris Pawson, from the University of East London, commented: &amp;#039;There are several physiological and psychological reasons that might explain this improvement with water consumption. &amp;#039;Future research is needed to tease apart these explanations, but whatever the explanation it is clear that students should endeavour to stay hydrated with water during exams.&amp;#039; The findings were presented yesterday (April 18th) at the annual conference of the British Psychological Society, along with separate research from Keele University suggesting that people who listen to their favourite music while training may benefit from improved performance.
