University told the Dally Mail.That's right-sitting up straight can
help you do better on math exams.

to do a simple math quiz while sitting in a slumped-over（趴倒的）
position, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56 percent of students
saíd the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.
