Do be careful. A couple months ago someone here tried planetary charity to Mercury to give them "luck" during a game show, and instead suffered a complete inability to focus during the game show and a frightening near-miss with a terrible car accident on the way back. Everyone was confused at this outcome but me; I thought that what they did might have been construed as interference with one of the temple ceremonies of market meritocracy.
I saw the word "exam" and thought competition, and was worried about something similar. But I guess it's not really a competitive exam, except insofar as immigration slots are competitively awarded (and any competition would mostly have been a prior step), and anyway an exam is less the focus of ceremony and attention than a game show. Still, you should be clear about your intentions. Do you want to be able to recall things and adroitly connect the dots during the exam? That would be Mercury. Do you want to be able to focus and stay with tricky questions until you've done your best? I'm not 100% on the associations but I would guess Saturn. (Saturday in the hour of Mercury?) Are you trying to fast-talk the immigration process even though you might not have normally passed this test? Mercury, avoid Saturn, and consider Jupiter. (It's not clear how well this will work because it's a government-administered exam about government.) Are you trying to prove you've done the work and will be a contributing member of the civic sphere? Saturn and you'd better have put in the time in advance. Is this part of a bigger project to nimbly evade a coming bad sitution in your country of origin? Mercury maybe, I'm not sure.
