Excessive heat impacts cognitive functions like reaction time, memory, and response capacity, causing slowed performance. Neurons are affected though not melting, leading to significantly poorer outcomes in high temperatures.
Studies show a 14% score reduction and nearly 11% lower odds of passing exams on hot days compared to cooler ones. This resulted in an estimated 510,000 failed exams affecting around 90,000 students during 1998-2011.
