Preparing yourself physically and mentally for an exam is just as important as learning the material. You must make sure you eat properly before the test, so you can focus on answering questions correctly and not on your hunger pains or fatigue.
考试时作好身心准备跟学习知识一样重要。你必须确保考试前吃得适当，才能在考试时集中精力正确答题而不是一心想着饥饿或疲惫。
1 Eat a well-balanced meal before the actual exam. If your exam is in the morning, give yourself time to eat breakfast. Include protein and fruit to provide energy.
1 在真正考试前吃一顿均衡的饮食。如果考试是在早上，空出时间吃早餐。早餐中要包含蛋白质和水果，才能给你提供能量。
2 Fill yourself with protein-rich foods like eggs, nuts, yogurt and cottage cheese during breakfast and lunch on the day of the test. The benefits will last throughout the day.
2 在考试当天，早餐和午餐要吃含蛋白质丰富的食物，如鸡蛋、坚果、酸奶和白软干酪。这些食物的营养会持续一天。
3 Keep each meal light, as heavy dishes will cause you to be drowsy. Skip dessert if you aren't hungry. The last thing you need is to fall asleep during a test.
3 保持每餐都是清淡口味，因为太重口味的菜会使你感觉昏昏欲睡。如果不饿的话就不要吃甜点。有考试时最后应该做的就是睡觉。
4 Skip the caffeine as a meal substitute. Avoiding caffeine all together (if you normally drink it) may cause headaches, but you shouldn't overdo it. Overdosing on coffee and energy drinks may cause you to become too jittery and then crash. Try green tea as a natural caffeine addition to your diet.
4 不用咖啡因代替饭。（如果你平时有喝含咖啡因的饮料）避免全部咖啡因的话会导致头痛，但是不能喝过量。过量喝咖啡和能量饮料会使你变得太敏感，以致崩溃。在饮食中把绿茶作为一种含有天然咖啡因的饮料来喝。

5 当你因太紧张而吃不下饭的时候，喝一杯蛋白质混合饮品，思慕雪或其他健康能量饮料。这样能提供使你维持下去的能量，直到你能正常吃饭。
6 Keep healthy snacks like protein bars and fruit in your bag to munch on between tests. Keep your energy up without resorting to sugary treats, which may cause quick bursts of energy leading to a crash.
6 在包里放一些健康零食如蛋白质棒和水果，你可以在考试的休息时间吃。不要靠吃含糖甜点使你保持能量，含糖甜点会使能量快速爆发导致崩溃。
7 Take a multivitamin every day. Omega-3s and B vitamins increase brain functionality, but you also need a full range of nutrients to keep your body healthy.
7 每天服用多种维生素剂。Ω- 3脂肪酸和维生素B能提高你的脑部功能，但是你需要全面的营养物质来保持你的身体健康。
8 Moderate your drinking during exams. Excessive alcohol causes fatigue, headaches and general lack of focus. Try not to drink at all the night before a test.
8 有考试时要适度饮酒。过度的酒精会造成疲劳、头痛和注意力不集中。考试前一晚尽量不喝酒。
9 Drink plenty of water to keep hydrated before and during an exam. Dehydration may cause you to loose focus or feel sick during the test.
9 考试前和考试时喝大量的水保持水分充足。脱水会导致你考试时注意力不集中或感觉恶心。
