Fish! Trust me it is full of protein and good "brain food".\n\nTry eating a Tuna and salad sandwich... hopefully you like tuna :)

My doctor recommended word puzzles. Crossword puzzles, Sudoku, word puzzles (where you circle words). He said the more you test your brain the more it will boost your memory. He did not recommend any vitamins or foods.

This sounds weird, and it's not exactly a food or herb but it will TOTALLY help you in remembering things like for tests. Juggling. I know sounds weird, but from personal experience, and friends experience, we all tried it. And it worked!!! Just learn to juggle and do it often for fun. You will totally be shocked at the results!! Hope that helps a little!  Also green vegetbales! Tehy stimulate the mind, making it work like more clearly, lol!

while it's generally not a good idea to study for long hours, i for one have been in that position many times.  the key is to stay away from processed sugar and caffeine for as long as possible because while they'll give you a quick burst of energy, you'll crash a few hours later.  while you study, eat protein (eggs, etc) and snack on veggies or fruits - they'll give you energy, and munching on something will keep your eyes open.  also try to take breaks every couple hours so you don't get burnt out.

I find that a great way to study when you have other things on your mind is to play some classical music in the background. Doing this gives you nice, soothing sounds that don't have any vocals for you associate with things you may have been previously thinking about. Beethoven, Bach, Vivaldi...All are great choices!

the easy answer is, plan ahead and don't leave all your studying to the last minute :-)\n\nIf you don't have other classes to work around, here is what I would suggest:\n\nT=9:00      Wake up, get ready for the day\nT=9:30    Grab breakfast to eat while you study\nT=9:45    Study for an hour\nT=10:45   Get up, stretch, use the bathroom\nT=11:00   Study for another hour\nT=12:00   Check email, go chat with friends, and otherwise take a break.  Get some lunch.\nT=12:30   Go to a different place to study.  Try the library, or a commons room.\nT=12:45   Study a new subject for two hours (if you have more than one to work on).\nT=2:45   Get up and find somewhere new to study you haven't been to yet today.  Grab a snack on the way.\nT=3:00   Study another two hours\nT=5:00   Break!  Spend an hour or two with friends, playing a game, or basically de-stressing\nT=6:00   Eat dinner, start gearing up to study again\nT=6:45   Make your way back to somewhere comfortable to study\nT=7:00  Settle in and study as long as you can stand\nT=10:00ish Get up, check email, move around, head back to your room if you're not there already\nT=10:30ish Bring your most boring study material to bed with you.  Read it until you fall asleep.  You'll either get lots read (good) or get plenty of sleep (also good) :-)\n\nThis assumes you have a full day, but this gives you a good 11+ hours of studying, and still time to eat, talk with your friends, and generally not go crazy.  It also gives you at least 9 hours of sleep at night, which will really help!\n\nStudying in multiple places throughout the day helps keep you from getting bored (and sleepy) while you work.  Also, if always study the same subjects in the same rooms, it really helps your brain absorb the information faster (strange, but true!).  If your test involves remembering a bunch of facts (like who painted each of these pictures, when, what techniques did they use, etc), study each thing (painting, in this case) in a different room.  Then when you get to the test you can see a painting and remember "Oh, I read that one while sitting in the stairwell.  That means it was painted in X year by so-and-so."  It helps you keep the information from getting all mixed up in your head!

Stay online, so that in between breaks you can surf the net, or fix a quiz (pretty exciting stuff for me), drink lots of energy drinks and coffee, turn on the television while you study, sit on an uncomfortable chair, like a hard one, so that it's not comfy enough to snooze on.\nKeep some strong smelling lemon or citrus nearby to sniff on. Studies show they help to keep you feeling 'refreshed'.

Do a little study every day and don't leave everything til the night before your tests.  Eat well and drink plenty of water.  It has been proved that memory gets better if you drink lots of pure water but don't drink sugary drinks or drinks with caffeine.  They might make you feel more awake but you will remember less.  Get into good habits now then it won't be hard when you are older.  Limit your time on the computer, game stations and TV and try to read at least one book a week.

Depends entirely on what result you're after. Ginko is a good memory aid, and ginseng has reportedly assisted the ability to concentrate, Frankly the best way to look after your brain physically is the same as any other part of the body - good nutrition. When the body is 'comfortable', the mind is less distracted. I find that Omega 3's are very valuable in my daily diet and I use cold pressed flax oil liberally as a salad dressing. \nMental focus increases with practice, so get yourself into a quiet, relaxed and comfortable condition and you'll find that your mind cooperates much more readily. Gradually you'll experience less and less distraction and you'll be able to focus with tremendous unwavering concentration. This isn't just wishful thinking, this is my personal experience. Hope it helps.

moderation is the key for caffeine drinks; eat a breakfast that includes protein, we (USA) eat backwards because an early meal gives energy for the day and makes us tired and gain more weight if eaten too late at night. The earlier we eat the more able we are to use the calories for energy and burn off extra weight that causes fatigue. create the best time to study with a daily schedule and the priority to study after you eat a good breakfast. Make sure your concentration can be fully focused on your work and review it with self testing and other students. finally, be ready to sit down for a while in a cheerful and bright environment.

All types or nuts and fish. Both contain Omega 3 fatty acid, which is very beneficial for your brain and memory functions.

Eat noodles like spaghetti, or fruits. When i had Exams(one every day for a week, and i take all AP and honors courses, which aren't fun) and Band Camp(which was 20 hrs a week), these are the foods i ate, and i stayed awake and i did great during all of it. Good Luck!\nStay away from sugary stuff like Poptarts, soda, and anything that has a lot a sugar dont eat, because it will give you a short buzz, then leave you feeling tired.

One of my teachers said to study something 15 minutes every day to retain it and then you will be able to remember it so much better.  So whatever you want  and need to remember, do that and see if that helps you.  A healthy diet-breakfast, and vegetables and fruit may help you have more energy, and a brisk walk about 4 times a week.  That will help your over all well-being.  Plus read a lot of different things and trivia Q and facts. I also heard about that --Ginko Biloba or what ever spelling, is helpful for people with a memory problem.  It is in the vitamin/herbal section of the pharmacy.

Your brain is the most important organ in your body, and also it's particularly helpful for school. When you concentrate your brain will use 20% of the glucose in your body. You therefore need to get out of bed early so that you can A) wake up your brain, and B) feed your body which will allow for the intake of glucose to your brain when you need it.....

somewhere away from your dorm/apt./house and friends.  Go to the library or somewhere where you can spread out your books and not be interrupted.  \n\nor if it's a memorization test, like geography or something, you can study with a partner and come up with tricky ways to remember the names of countries or whatever you're studying. \n\nin college during exam time i would fast (not eat, only drink) until exams were done. it saved time & energy, but won't work for everyone.
