## Exam Preparation

[](https://dpunkt.de/produkt/praxiswissen-user-requirements/)
An ideal place to begin preparing for the CPUX Advanced Levels is the [UXQB’s Documents Section ⤴](https://www.uxqb.org/ux-training-and-certification/an-overview-of-the-cpux-curricula/#documents). This contains a number of useful documents such as the respective syllabi, exam regulations and practice questions for the theoretical and practical parts, test reports, examples and more.

For a more in-depth preparation for the CPUX-UR certification, German-speaking candidates may want to refer to the official study book [Praxiswissen User Requirements ⤴](https://dpunkt.de/produkt/praxiswissen-user-requirements/) by Thomas Geis and Knut Polkehn. Both authors are active members of the UXQB, meaning that this book goes beyond conforming to the CPUX-UR Syllabus and provides the necessary knowledge directly from the source.
