What subject do you worry about most at school？ Many students think it’s math. Some students can’t sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful.
For people who are anxious about math， posture（姿势）makes a big difference. That’s right， sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams.
Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked those students to do a simple math quiz while the students sat in a slumped （趴倒的） position， or sat up straight. After the test， 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.
“Slumping over is a defensive posture. It can trigger negative memories in the body and brain. This can stop you thinking clearly，” Peper said.
“Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily benefit from better posture. But they did find that solving math questions while in a slumped position was more difficult，” Science Daily reported.
Good posture isn’t just helpful for taking math exam. Athletes， musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel stressed out， you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more positive and focus better.
