Sounds crazy. But, can track lights cause me to do bad in school?
I recently got track lights in my room and I’ve been studying beneath them. I did a review sheet for a math test that was very easy. I got everything right on the review sheet. I got an 83 on the test. I studied for chemistry. Got a 74. My grades have been going down and the only thing that I’ve changed in my way of studying is the lighting in my room? Is it possible?

Possibly. Its up to you and your work habits. Sometimes, we may not do well in a certain subject.
yes it does because of the motion
Probably the most important thing is to have sufficient light to study by and make sure you have studied thoroughly enough that the test is easier. I haven’t heard of any bad effects from track lighting. Some people are sensitive to the buzz or flicker of fluorescent lights, but you would probably already know if you have this condition.
I have heard of a study where they discovered that students did better on tests if they took the test in the same environment in which they studied. Possibly their memory was keyed to details of the study environment. You might improve your results by making your study room similar to the room where your test will be given, but I still think you’ll get more mileage out of doing extra study so you will have mastery of the subject.
