There are lots of useful ways to prepare for our Chartered Membership, Incorporated-Membership, and Incorporated-Member to Chartered Member Supplementary exams.
Past papers with sample answers provide useful study guides, and examiner reports help you understand where candidates fell down in previous exams.
Attending exam preparation courses, or trying our online exam preparation course, are also essential if you want to improve your chances of a pass.
