Rest, Not Race

Take at least one brief break during the exam. Shut your eyes, massage your temples, and take several deep breaths. These relaxation methods will help you maintain your cool and concentration throughout the exam. The IIA does not award points to candidates who finish their exam the fastest, so do not race through all 100 questions. A single, 30-second break to clear your thoughts can ensure that your final score will remain clear of a failing grade.
