Dear Scott,
Taking an important exam is like running a marathon so it is advisable to take good care of things you eat.
On the day before the exam, have high-carbonate foods like pasta as the slow breaking down of the carbonates will provide necessary energy for the next day`s event.
Eat a breakfast of mainly proteins (beef, eggs, poultry...) on the day of the exam as the proteins are another quick source of energy.
Drink a lot of water and fruit juice. Avoid caffeine drinks as they may help you feel good at first but there is a side effect that leaves you feel tired and stressful later, dangerously while you are still taking the exam.
Hope you will do your best.
Regards,

Dear Jane,
Sleep is very important to us and one of the secrets to get good sleep is eating right.
There are some foods that can stop your sleep and help you fall asleep.
Try to have dinner earlier in the evening, and avoid heavy, rich foods within two hours of bed. Fatty foods take a lot of work for your stomach to digest and may keep you awake.
To avoid waking up later in the night, stay away from alcohol in the hours before bed. Besides, Caffeine can cause sleep problems up to ten to twelve hours after drinking it! Avoid drinking too many liquids in the evening.
Hope you will get a good sleep.
Regards,
