The PRINCE2 Foundation level exam is a short, 1-hour, multiple choice paper. Students are tested on the basic PRINCE2 principles, themes and process that underpin the method. The exam is closed-book, it does not allow additional reading material, nor does it allow use of the PRINCE2 manual.The PRINCE2 Foundation exam is a fairly simple test with a national average pass rates in the UK of 95% (Our students at PRINCE2 Online have a pass rate of 99%!).The PRINCE2 Practitioner level exam is a longer, 2.5 hour, objective question test. Candidates are tested on more advanced information such as how to tailor individual aspects of the PRINCE2 method to suit varying contexts. Questions are presented not in multiple choice format, but as objective-type questions. This means you may be asked to select 4 responses from a group of 12 possible correct answers. Often, you might find that all possible answers are correct, but must find the ‘best’ solution to a given problem.In the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam, you’ll be allowed use of notes and the PRINCE2 manual. We strongly advise against relying on the manual to pass however. There’s simply not enough time given in the exam to read through a chapter in search of answers. The manual should be used sparingly, with notes to help you find those small pieces of relevant information quickly.The PRINCE2 Practitioner exam is definitely more challenging that the PRINCE2 Foundation exam, The UK national average pass rate is 73% (Our students at prince2-online.co.uk have an average pass rate of 83%!).
