If you become stressed, your brain will start to overload on dopamine. It is like a cup overflowing with water. The quicker you are able to go back to a balance of dopamine, the quicker you can focus, helping you do better on a test.Scientists found that, during a test, people who slowly got back to a balance of dopamine scored 8 percent lower.
