It's not so important to what you eat, as too eating a good nutritious breakfast, but that you start your day right by not skipping the most important meal of the day. By eating breakfast you recharge your brain and your body and your more efficent in just about everything you do.
Most health experts recommend eating a balanced, healthy diet to maintain or to lose weight. But exactly what is a healthy diet?
The basic components of a healthy diet include the right amount of:
Protein (found in fish, meat, poultry, dairy products, eggs and beans)
Fat (found in animal and dairy products, nuts, and oils)
Carbohydrates (found in fruits, vegetables, pasta, rice, grains, beans and other legumes, and sweets)
Vitamins (such as vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K)
Minerals (such as calcium, potassium, and iron)
Water.

I've noticed (and discussed it with friends, who agree that they have the same experience) that I get really lethargic and listless when I try to study on a full stomach. I am much better on something very light.
This is so, even when the big meal is packed with nutrition and nothing 'bad', whereas the little meal is nothing but a cup-a-soup.
I am better off being a little hungry than satisfied.
That said, perhaps this could be overcome by ensuring a bigger meal always has a low GI.

cereal and orange juice.
No pancakes- you'll regret those the second you get your exam.
though I took something like 10 AP exams and 6 IB exams couldn't eat the morning of a single one of them... Not the best idea but hey I couldn't throw up anything afterwards :-)
Oh- and don't drink coffee or slurpees. Stick to water and orange juice.

cereal is a great start either way...the best is oatmeal with slices of apples and raisins....nothing TOO fattie like sausages...bacon...if ur gunna have eggs have one egg without too much oil...try poached rather then scrambled or fried.....also dont eat too out of what ur normally used to or else ur going to end up with a horrible tummy ache during ur exam! eat only enough for u to handle and just be ready for the rest of the day....never too full or you'll start getting drowsy during ur exam...good luck!
also when you're studying...snack on almonds...they're supposed to help u absorb things quicker in the brain and help with memory

Lucky Charms.
Just kidding. A good balanced Breakfast with Fruit, Cereal and milk is always a good starter. You don't want to do anything too different.

get up early, have a good bowl of cereals, then a couple pieces of fruit like a banana is extremely good. then a glass of water or orange juice...
good luck in the exam!

Don't eat eight hours before an exam but have a good meal before then. So 8am breakfast, 5 o'clock exam, perfect.

Just make sure it's not all carbohydrate. Get some protein and fat in there too so you won't crash halfway through your exam and be hungry and tired.
