Eat light meals - Although you do need to eat, you are recommended to keep it light. You will feel heavy and drowsy if you eat a big breakfast pre-exam.

Stay away from brain-blocking foods for breakfast - When it comes to being as efficient as possible for your exams, you will want to stay away from foods that block the brain.

You should consider the likes of sugar-free muesli, oatmeal, eggs and toast with jam, low-fat milk and whole-grain cereal, as well as the likes of prunes, figs, dried fruits, flaxseed, sunflower seeds, walnuts, blueberries, and fish.
