Can Coffee Improve your Exam Grades?

- Coffee and more specifically caffeine is something that we associate with increased performance, both physically and mentally. But is there actually evidenced that it can increase your memory and more specifically your exam grades? If so, when is best to drink your coffee? The morning? The afternoon? Before studying? After studying?
The Bottom Line: Well, the evidence suggests, both before and after studying will still enhance your memory. And drinking in the morning may be more beneficial than in the afternoon.
The Warnings: Some of these studies has several limitations. For example the first study has small sample sizes and students were selected from a single centre making them not representative of the wide student population. It also doesn’t use pragmatic exams or totally account for all confounding factors.
The Heath Warning: Caffeine isn’t for everyone and it certainly shouldn’t be consumed in large doses. Don’t exceed to recommended daily amount for your age and gender. Be sensible and safe out there! #shorts #coffee
Evidence for drinking coffee BEFORE studying: www.ncbi.nlm.n...
Many college students struggle to perform well on exams in the early morning. Although students drink caffeinated beverages to feel more awake, it is unclear whether these actually improve performance. After consuming coffee (caffeinated or decaffeinated), college-age adults completed implicit and explicit memory tasks in the early morning and late afternoon (Experiment 1). During the morning, participants ingesting caffeine demonstrated a striking improvement in explicit memory, but not implicit memory. Caffeine did not alter memory performance in the afternoon. In Experiment 2, participants engaged in cardiovascular exercise in order to examine whether increases in physiological arousal similarly improved memory. Despite clear increases in physiological arousal, exercise did not improve memory performance compared to a stretching control condition. These results suggest that caffeine has a specific benefit for memory during students’ non-optimal time of day - early morning. These findings have real-world implications for students taking morning exams.
Evidence for drinking coffee AFTER studying: hub.jhu.edu/20...
Johns Hopkins researchers conducted a double-blind trial in which participants who did not regularly eat or drink caffeinated products received either a placebo or a 200-milligram caffeine tablet five minutes after studying a series of images. Salivary samples were taken from the participants before they took the tablets to measure their caffeine levels. Samples were taken again one, three, and 24 hours afterwards.
The next day, both groups were tested on their ability to recognise images from the previous day's study session. On the test, some of the visuals were the same as those from the day before, some were new additions, and some were similar but not the same.
More members of the caffeine group were able to correctly identify the new images as "similar" to previously viewed images rather than erroneously citing them as the same. The research is different from prior experiments because the subjects took the caffeine tablets only after they had viewed and attempted to memorise the images. Almost all prior studies administered caffeine before the study session, so if there is an enhancement, it's not clear if it's due to caffeine's effects on attention, vigilance, focus, or other factors. By administering caffeine after the experiment, we rule out all of these effects and make sure that if there is an enhancement, it's due to memory and nothing else.

Thanks for the tip Doctor ❤
9+ years coffee drinker here (I only drink americano or espresso or sometimes long black)
N.B. I am a Doctor)
It is a good idea to drink coffee as it is considered psychoactive and cognitive booster.
My best advice how to use it for your exams --
1) Drink coffee when it is time for memorising stuff.
2) Try to reduce it when you are in the revision/recall phase and when you are done with your syllabus.
3) Now cut it to only one cup a day when you are doing mocks or previous exam papers etc.
4) DO NOT DRINK it on the day of your EXAM!!!!
You'll most likely suffer arrhythmia, and heavy anxiety and coffee will make it much, much worse. I've seen patients and not to mention myself, too.
I understand some might disagree but do you wanna risk your months of preparation?? Just ask yourself that question.
I hope this helps everyone who is preparing for their respective exams.
Happy studying 📖
Don't tell me the reason I scored higher than expected even though only studying the night before was because of coffee and not because I have superpowers
Ikrrr
So like you opened books for the first time a night before or studied before too but just revised the night before?
me tomorrow frfrr i have my finals going on and tomorrow's science, I HAVENT STUDIED SH1T.
(i jus drank a cup of coffee)
*200mg caffeine, not coffee
exactly
Actually Ngl my exams are going on & I do take coffee at night so that I can stay up late night & coffee does help me with my study sessions TBH but only if you will take it in limit.... ☺️❤️... & remember coffee does fook with your sleep... & directly effective your sleep cycle 😗💕
I drink coffee Before I pull an all nighter Study session. Honestly it Has it's Own disadvantages and advantages . The advantage is that Caffeine will keep you awake for a long time but the biggest disadvantages is that it gives you so much anxiety .... Like you will die Of Anxiety
Bruh everytime I drink it I feel like my throat is swollen 😂
This so trueee mannn ..... I literally died on my exam day
Exactly! After drinking Coffee it feels like your heart is racing and ur gonna die. I stopped drinking cofee bc of that
Caffeine and theanine in a 1:2 ratio makes mental performance even better giving more focus without the jitters and caffeine crash.
Is it only me who still feels sleepy while studying even after drinking enough coffee😭
If you avoid sugar, there will be no problem
Me too 😂😭
Oh my, do not take this advice please guys :(. It’s well known that coffee only TEMPORARILY enhances memory and produces these effects, buts it’s actually damaging it greatly. Not only will you end up having a lot of brain fog often, but fatigue, weak memory, insomnia (ability to not sleep) , heartburn and increased anxiety. Don’t take the chances. Switch to matcha or teas, and eat brain-boosting foods, that’ll give you a drastic change not just for your memory, but your overall health! Take care 💜🌿✨!
Which food brain boosters can you recommend
One cup won't hurt
I drink coffee At night to study when I see sleepy but after 30 min or something I again feel sleepy😅
Contain more mg coffee 😄☕
Me too... I still feels sleepy even after drinking coffee😭
You should avoid sugar.
Thank u!
okay i am immediately grabbing one
I need it thanks!!'
Enjoy it haha
Op
Coffee and other drinks with caffeine makes me sleepy 😃
It is true that coffee keep's you awake but man u will die of the anxiety it gives.
I dont take coffee, while my classmate always does and he scores high. Might give it a try.
Me: Mom, I want Ali Abdaal
Mom: We have Ali Abdaal at home

@@aryyann05 What?
So true, i am one of those unfortunate people. Coffee doesn't suit me at all. I get jitters when i consume. Then i start feeling nauseous. It has a horrible impact on me😭
@@chrysanthemum5594Same😢
Nice short. Haha. :3
Whenever I drink coffe before a study session i get very anxious and can't focus on studying😢
Same happens with me...When people with anxiety drinks coffee, it'll get even worse
Sir kon c coffee best h for students
I was about to ask thizz QS 😅😅
i drink like 5 cups for 2 days straight for my final, 3 hours of sleep, 2 exam, law and tax , and it is safe to say that's this video is indeed facts.
I still remember how back in hs i used to do a crappy ass study and come out top of the class maybe it really was the coffee...or maybe i listened to the classes well but did no self study at all..
My eyes are getting blink at each transition
Again 1st view and 1st comment on your shorts 🙌🏼😉
LOVE TO SEE IT! Thanks for the support! 🙏🏽
200 mg is a lot
The head wobbles
Just had 4400 mg of coffee for a late night session
Is one cup of coffee a day unhealthy for students?
Can we substitute it with warm water plus lemon juice??
No & No
I saw a video of Ashish Arora sir recommending warm water with lemon juice which has no other side effects.
It is caffeine in the coffee that is making you active, lemon water may not be effective, it's ok to drink one cup every day but more than one may cause sleep disorder so don't drink after 4 pm.
i drink 2 to 3 cups of coffee during my exma each cups contains 2 teaspoon of cooffee
but ....when i drink 2 cups yet i feel sleepy
Oh Thx
Is 2-4 cups of coffee?
Harmful for our health 🙃
200mg = 1 strong espresso I believe but yes several health risks with different impact depending on your medical conditions may apply!
What about tea
Which Type Of Coffee Use?
Yeah i cant study now bc IM WATCHING VIDEOS HOW TO STUDY AT NIGHT😢😢😢
200mg of caffeine
Dark coffee or Milk coffee??
POV: You can’t drink Tea or Coffee
Okey I will revise that again😂🙂
Me who was just drinking 2000mg(2g) of coffee as my exams are here 💀...is that amout of coffee is enough for a study session of 1 year 🤡
You gotta give that forehead some rest
It does not suit everyone.
I even feel more sleepy,tired and dizzy after drinking coffee.
Not immediately but afer sometimes.
And it takes time for me to overcome this feeling of dizziness. 😢
Same with me😭
I can't even drink coffee without vomiting I'm not even lactose intolerant
Does it's effect decrease after a long time.... cause nowadays cofee doesn't work for me...... i can even sleep after drinking black coffee
it depends
Remember sleep of 6-8 hrs is a DAMN NEEEEEEED not a option
So if ur exam is not a week away then plzz make sure to take min 6.5 - 7 hrs sleep everyday and see the magic
P. S. - cut ur time from social media or from other places u waste ur time
Dont cut time from ur sleep its the most powerful drug ur brian need to fully work
It can't but u can
200mg of caffeine not " coffee " ffs. Fail
200mg 😂 I'm dead !! I drink 2-4grams (2 teaspoon) daily before study .. this is not good😢
My dear friend he is talking abt 200mg caffeine that is present in coffee not the teaspoon of coffee u take
And listen plzzzzzzzz if exam is not a week away then plzz take min 7 hrs good night sleep
Seee the magic u will feel more productive and what not
But someone has migran like me does not drink caffeine.
