Scientists analyzed 100,000 exams and found the best time to take one
Italian students taking oral exams have a better shot at success if they’re scheduled around midday, according to new research. Analyzing over 100,000 assessments, scientists found a clear bell curve in pass rates, peaking between 11 AM and 1 PM. This time-based trend might not be limited to academia—job interviews and court decisions could be affected too. The researchers suggest biological rhythms, decision fatigue, and misaligned chronotypes between students and professors might all contribute. Strategic scheduling and further research could help create fairer, more effective evaluations.
