    The Best Brain Food for Infants and Babies:

    Iron. By 5 or 6 months, babies have used up the iron stores they're born with and need to get iron from food or supplements to support brain development.
    Food solutions: Iron-fortified cereals. Try these iron-rich recipes.

    The Best Brain Food for Children and Teens:

    School-aged children should start their day with low-glycerin-index breakfast foods. (They need morning fuel.)
    Food solutions: Bran cereals, oatmeal or whole-wheat bagels. Try these oat-filled recipes.

    The Best Brain Food for Young Adults:

    Got iron? 10 percent of women are anemic, and new studies show that being even mildly iron-deficient affects learning, memory, and attention. Luckily, restoring iron levels to normal also restores cognitive function.
    Food solutions: Dark leafy greens, beans, meat or soy. Try these leafy green recipes.

    The Best Brain Food for Older Adults:

    Eat your antioxidants. People who eat more brightly colored fruits and leafy vegetables have less cognitive decline than those who don't; antioxidants in produce may mop up free radicals and protect neurons from damage.
    Food solutions: Berries and other fruits, greens and turmeric (which contains curcumin). Try these antioxidant-rich recipes.

    The Best Brain Food for Pregnant Women:

    Pregnant women who eat fatty fish, such as salmon, during their third trimester of pregnancy have babies who tend to perform better on cognitive tasks. Researchers think the omega-3 fatty acid DHA is needed during this time to build neurons and their connections.
    Food solutions: Salmon and other fatty fish, DHA-fortified eggs and yogurt. Try these healthy salmon recipes.

    The best brain foods are complex carbohydrates. The molecules in these are long, so it takes longer for the intestines to break them.

    You need it by tomorrow? Doesn't work that way.

    You need it in your system for a long time, in order for brain to work.

    It's not like injecting.

    Fish and more fish!!!!

    Best solution is in order to pass your test, have a good breakfast, with dairy products, meat, and carbo, you need to be awake & alert, so you'll be able to concentrate and A's your ISAT. Empty stomach isn't gonna help you any, makes the brain and energy flop and fatigue.

    I've heard salmon is good as well. Maybe the omega 3's. But I'll definitely up the intake of iron!

    Doing crossword puzzles is also good for your brain. Its not food exactly, it's more like pilates for the brain.
