Sample responding letter:
Dear Scott,
Taking an important exam is like running a marathon so it is advisable to take good care of the things you eat.
On the day before the exam, have high-carbonate foods like pasta as the slow breaking down of the carbonates will provide the necessary energy for the next day's event.
Eat a breakfast of mainly proteins (beef, eggs, poultry...) on the day of the exam as the proteins are another quick source of energy.
Drink a lot of water and fruit juice. Avoid caffeine drinks as they may help you feel good at first but there is a side effect that leaves you feel tired and stressful later, dangerously while you are still taking the exam.
Hope you will do your best.
Regards,
