## Preparing for Your Exam

A few practical steps that make a real difference in exam performance:

- **[Start structured revision](https://www.cips.org/students/exam-success/exam-schedules) at least before your exam date** cramming in the final week rarely works for CIPS's applied, scenario-based questions
- **Review past paper formats**-CIPS exams typically test practical application, not just memorised definitions
- **Attend all scheduled tutor-led sessions**-if you've missed any, contact your tutor about catching up before the exam, not after
- **Clarify anything unclear early**-don't wait until exam week to ask about a concept you're unsure of
