Exam week is more or less 1 month away give
or take a few days. I tell you it feels really nice to be on the other side of MCIPS, i cant lie. However, it didn’t come easy and part of my passion is helping CIPS students like you on the journey because i have been there done that, plus i was caught smack in the middle when they changed the syllabus.
I know the stress, I understand the desperation of wanting to pass so badly. Think about it though if you haven’t prepared for CIPS exams do you deserve to even pass? You deserve to be in a lot of panic that’s what you deserve.
Preparing for exams with less than one month believe or not is possible.
These are the top things you MUST do now if you have not taken your preparation seriously up to this point and you want a chance at passing:
- Get a calendar, set a timetable and stick to it, bury your excuses and stop procrastinating, push yourself because i assure you nobody else will
- Put aside your social life, sacrifice and make time to study – forget about meeting pals, going for a drink, go to work, get home, study be focused
- Make the most of your weekends, stay indoors don’t let yourself be derailed by people who don’t understand your career goals. Weekends are GREAT for focused study
Don’t overthink, you know what you need to be doing, what exactly are you waiting for?

Hello
Is the syllabus changing this year again?
Thank you
Melisa
No it is not
Syllabus changes are normally quite a big process, one that CIPS communicates to its members in good time. There is always a transition phase for current students so please rest assured they do not just wake up and decide today they are changing syllabus. Maybe it could happen in another few years because the current syllabus came in 2013 and the previous was 2006.
Hi
What else do I need for my studies I only have my course books and Lysons & farrington , I am self studying for level 4 and also going to work .
Regards
Josh
Honestly focus on the CIPS course book because that is what the exams are based on. When you add too many resources it can be overwhelming. Best wishes.
Hi Naomi,
I just discovered that the AD3 pre-released case study is exactly the same as the one for November 2013 exams. Am just curious if it is possible they will repeat the exact same questions. Does CIPS ever repeat past exam questions for that matter?
So I heard… I think the chances of them repeating questions are slim but then again you never know, you guys doing AD3 this round could be lucky.
