"Can you remember your last in-person exam? You’re waiting outside the venue
with your identification, pens and back-up pens. Everyone is nervously looking
at their notes or avoiding eye contact.

The doors open and you enter a cavernous space of numbered tables in rows. You
find your seat and, waiting to start, glance around the vast space that
surrounds you.

Our research suggests this environment may have an effect on your ability to
perform at your best.

In our new study, we looked at the impact of ceiling heights on the exam
performance of Australian students."
