But fear not, there’s a few things you can do that will help!
CIPS Exam Tip 1 - Preparation

Sleep.
It’s that simple. Don’t stay up late trying to read your book, just have a cup of herbal tea and get your eight hours.
A good night’s sleep will mean starting the day with your brain wide awake and ready to go.
CIPS Exam Tip 3 - Hydrate
Take a bottle of water with you, and actually drink it. It’s not just there for emotional support.
It’ll make you take your eyes off the screen for a second, and your brain time to recharge, as well as stopping exam anxiety dry mouth.
CIPS Exam Tip 4 - Be comfortable
This isn’t a job interview, no one is judging. Wear something you’re comfortable in. You’re sitting for anything from 1.5 to 3 hours, no one needs to be worrying about what they’re wearing for that long.
CIPS Exam Tip 5 - Use all of the time
I know, you’ve only used an hour of your exam and if you leave now then work still won’t be expecting you back for an hour and it’s a nice chance to have a break. Resist that urge! Use all of the time, double check your answers, and make sure you haven’t missed any!
