Never mind the good study skills, practice exams and Latin courses. The secret to a higher SAT score could hinge on what you're pulling out of the refrigerator. Peterson's diet tips advise students to help their "brain function" by eating fortified cereals, bananas, peanut butter and other sources of vitamin B6.
Teachers, of course, have been telling students to eat a good breakfast the day of an important test for years. This research company is suggesting it has defined which types of foods are best for optimal brain function. It is certainly with good intention that such extensive research is done, but is it worth it for the points difference, if any, a student might acheive because she had tuna instead of chicken the night before?
Class, eat well and get a good night's sleep before the test.
