Omega-3, proteins, complex carbs aid memory in exams?

Question

Hello doctor,

This is not a health inquiry, but a problem I would need your help to solve. I would like to know what foods are good to eat before a test or exam? I am getting things like omega-3s, proteins, complex carbohydrates and water. My problem is, I cannot find much tangible information on why these things help us perform during tests? Can you point me in the right direction of where I need to go to get this info? Or do you know? What foods are the best to eat before a test?
