At a workshop the other day, someone gave these handouts to us on test anxiety. I thought this was kind of interesting. It says...
Fresh fruits and vegetables are often recommended to reduce stress.
Stressful foods can include: processed foods, artificial sweeteners, carbonated soft drinks, chocolate, eggs, fried foods, junk foods, pork, red meat, sugar, white flour products, chips and similar snack foods, foods containing preservatives or heavy spices.
I'm not too sure if that means you're only supposed to have a banana before a 4 hour test though or what, but next time I think I'll stay away from the stressful foods anyway and see if it helps.
I got that info at this site: http://www.studygs.net/tstprp8.htm
