Your brain runs on glucose, nothing else, so blood sugar is important when it comes to an exam. You need a high background level and the ability to raise it at need.
Tonight I've made myself a high-protein, high carb. meal of rice and chilli-beans. Soon I will eat far too much of it and retire to my pit. I will have more of the same for my breakfast, only this time with brown rice.
You need slow-release. Sugar must always be dribbling into your bloodstream. So you need to eat heavily.
[I'm a Ceoliac and a vegetarian so my chilli may be a bit different from your's.]
Then there is my go-faster juice. I took two cans into my last exam, I well remember horrid feeling when I ran out. Tomorrow it's got to be four cans, just in case.
My blood must have its sugar.
If only blood sugar was the only thing that I had to worry about.

Good luck, Nellie.
Chocolate 85% was my drug of choice for topping up during the exam. A lunch of tofu and tomato sandwich, flask of green tea, dried fruits and nuts just before the afternoon exam.

Cheers Jan
Dried fruit and nuts sounds like a good idea.

Good luck Nellie, seems like you've really gone all out for this one and I know you'll do well! Did you manage to find your perfect pen, or have you settled for second best? SalmaNew comment
Good luck again!!
Got any special smells where you study?! Take one of them with you... good for memory!
I used rosemary. Don't suppose it worked. You have the tools in your head... that works too
