<p>Onions. Big boost to your brain, and as a side-benefit you usually get a table all to yourself.</p>

22

<p>^Lmao
10 c</p>

23

<p>^Lmao
10 char</p>

24

<p>^^^Lulz. I ought to try that.</p>

25

<p>don’t drink tea or coffee, those make you go pee pee</p>

26

<p>^ true story. possibly why i didn’t get 80 on my PSAT math. never again after that.</p>

27

<p>Ritalin. Just kidding, don’t do that, it’s not legal unless you have an attention disorder. I read an article about that, however.
Honestly, just get a good night’s sleep and a good breakfast (and a good lunch, if the test is after lunch of course).</p>

28

<p>I like to refuel by drinking that sweat that drips off my forehead as I take the ACT. People call me an animal…and I call them correct.</p>

29

<p>If you don’t usually do highly caffeinated or very sugary beverages, don’t do them before the big test. Vitamin Water or V8 juice is good, as is destressing a few days before the test. I’d been out of town in crazy robot fest in a different time zone the week before my first SAT sitting. I was more excitable during the test than I usually would’ve been and I think it cost me a 100+ points.</p>

<p>My friend drinks Brand’s Chicken Essence. It’s a British product, I think :\ but people around here put a lot of stock in it. I don’t know how much it helps him though.</p>

31

<p>Just eat a decent breakfast and get plenty of sleep the night before</p>

<p>Oh, and do not eat any fiber 18 hours prior to the Exam</p>

32

<p>-something really filling, like potatoes. idk about everyone, but potatoes make me feel warm and full and then i test better.
-peppermints. i am so serious.
-5-hour energy. if you must have caffeine [i’m a coffee addict, personally], drink it at least an hour before so you’re not jittery.</p>

33

<p>Red Bull and crack.</p>

<p>Orange juice and a hot meal work for me.</p>

34

<p>Try cranberry juice or if you prefer solids then eat something whole wheat with extra protein like peanut butter.</p>

35

<p>5 hour energy works so well</p>

36

<p>lol before exams like the SAT I just drink lots of water (it really keeps one alert). I’ve also heard that banana’s are brain food, so I have one of those as a snack.</p>

<p>If I’m tired/can’t focus to get homework done though, I’ll have a cup of coffee or tea with caffeine.</p>
