What's for Breakfast this Saturday?

Quakeruslogo_000 Besides a heaping spoonful of ACT questions for lots of students? That's actually what I'm here to talk about-- effective breakfast strategies for a successful test-taking Saturday.

Researchers at Tufts University (that's in Boston) have found that while breakfast is key to boosting mental alertness, a breakfast of fiber-rich oatmeal equates to far better performances on tests. The reason? Whole grains keep your blood sugar and energy levels more constant.

That means, you should skip the Pop Tart on Saturday morning (refined carbs and sugars can lead to energy crashes mid-test), and grab the cylindrical cardboard cannister before taking the ACT. How's that for alliteration?
