In English grammar, the correct phrase is "sit for an exam." This is the commonly used expression to indicate that someone is taking an examination or test. So you would say, "I am sitting for my final exam tomorrow" or "She sat for the entrance exam last week."

Both "sit an exam" and "sit for an exam" are correct and commonly used in English grammar, although their usage can depend on regional variations. "Sit for an exam" is more commonly used in British English, while "sit an exam" is more prevalent in American English.
