So how did it go? I know this is a little late for advice, but if you feel you need to pull an all-nighter before a CLEP then you're probably not ready for it yet. You should postpone it and allow yourself more study time.
As for what to eat before an exam, I would give the opposite adivce. I know for me at least, carbs help me think, without them my brain is in a fog. I usually have fruit, whole wheat bread, peanutbutter or nuts like walnuts or almonds and tea with sugar before an exam. I also make sure to limit the amount I eat, if it's too much I'll feel sleepy regardless of how much sugar or caffeine I've had!
