You'll also find some slow-release carbohydrate and protein breakfast ideas and some healthy snack ideas to pack on exam days (remember, no nuts at school however they do make an excellent snack for home for those that can eat them).
Also, sleep is massively important for learning as well as concentration and brain processing. Restricting sleep has been shown to impair athletic and cognitive performance and increase anxiety.
