I have finals this week and I was just wondering what I should eat before hand or what i should do. Should i go for a run? What works? I'm super stressed and I am hoping there is something I can do before the test to help me concentrate or think or anything! Please! Thank you.

Here is some advice, some of it I have used in the past.
1. Don't study just before an exam. If you are stressed it will just make you more stressed.
2. Relax, walk, meditate, whatever makes your calm. But don't do streneous exercise as this can make you feel tired.
3. Annoy all your classmates by telling jokes while you wait outside the exam room.
4. Don't eat a lot of carbohydrates (bread, rice, potatos, etc). Shortly after eat these foods you will feel tired. Your intelligence will go down. This is the result of your body releasing chemicals as a result of you ingesting the carbs.
5. Smoke. Yes, nicotine helps you concentrate. Just what you need before an exam.
6. Do your best. Remember there are always other opportunities in life. Do as well as you can, and if you fail seek new things.

Okay, before you go into the studying mode, you have to relax! If you're feeling stressed out or panicked, your brain will just reject any information you try to store. Practice breathing deeply to calm yourself down, get all your review stuff and study in a quiet corner with a good light source and minimal noise level. I find that munching on peanuts and chocolate chips help a lot.

Whatever you like doing in your free time or as a hobby should be relaxing. Eat healthy and excercise to get your mind off of the test...Watch a favorite movie and hangout with freinds. If you are not confident in yourself get together and do a study group with some close buddies.You'll do great!

Just do your thing. eat healthy, sleep well, and study hard. don't worry about it.
as far as stimulation is concerned, your question has just stimulated my brain!

Aerobic exercise the day before, then meditate, then a good night's sleep.
