For me, using an IDE helps a lot with real life work (I also use IDEs myself for my daily job, so I am not discarding them at all) but that help is achieved by hiding some of the complexity. This is great unless you want or really need to understand about these complexities. I am on the opinion that for the exam it could be a good idea not to use an IDE, at least at the beginning and until you understand the details and the complexity hidden by the IDE.
