This course has recently been updated to reflect the new syllabus and new study guide. It is suitable for students taking the CIPS exams from 2025 - 2028

Who is this course for?

This course is designed for CIPS students sitting L5M4. It has a focus on practicing written exam technique and covers all the content of the module in an easy to understand and accessible way. It's suitable for those who are self-studying or who are studying around other commitments and need to revise in bite-sized chunks. If you want to hone your skills and pass first time, this is for you.

What's in the course and how does it work?

This course provides essay questions for you to practice. Topics cover all four Learning Outcomes of L5M4. The questions have been carefully designed to mimic the real exam and include a variety of 'command words' and a mixture of straight questions vs scenario questions.

For each question you're encouraged to write (or at least think about) how you would approach the question and I provide details of what the examiner will be looking for, what content to include in your response and how you can structure your essay to achieve maximum points. I also provide links to additional reading and extra examples you can use in your essay, where appropriate.

Kindly note that CIPS publish new, never-before-seen questions each exam session. These practice questions reflect the same topics, but they may not be the exact questions you receive in your exam.

*JUST ADDED* as well as practice questions, this course also has a fun little quiz on exam technique AND a full list of topics that have been asked before! *

What benefit will I gain from taking this course?

As well as access to practice questions and my advice, there is a Q&A function that students can use to discuss (e.g. 'if I talked about X for this question, would that work?). You also have access to contact me directly with any questions you have about CIPS.

Students who take this course report excellent exam results, higher levels of confidence and being able to pass their exams with less hours of study. Please check out the reviews.
