I’m currently preparing for the CIPT exam and wanted to ask experienced candidates for advice. What’s the best way to use CIPT exam questions to prepare effectively? Should I focus on solving full practice tests under timed conditions, or review questions topic by topic first? Any tips on analyzing answers, improving weak areas, or building confidence would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

hey there :)
the most effective approach is to start topic by topic so you really understand the underlying concepts and terminology, then gradually move to full practice exams once you feel comfortable. Early on, spend more time reviewing explanations than chasing scores, because the learning comes from understanding why an answer is right or wrong. As you get closer to the exam, timed full tests help with pacing and confidence, and revisiting weak areas in between makes a big difference.
best,
Alessa :)
