Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the PRINCE2 Foundation exam?
The PRINCE2® 7 Foundation exam (officially PRINCE2® Project Management Foundation) has 60 questions, each worth one mark, with no negative marking. Candidates get 60 minutes, or up to 75 minutes if 25% extra time is awarded when the exam isn't in their native or working language. Examova's mock exams use the same 60-question, 60-minute format, weighted to the syllabus's learning-outcome percentages.
What is the PRINCE2 Foundation pass mark?
You need 36 correct answers out of 60 to pass — a 60% pass mark. PeopleCert publishes this figure directly in the syllabus, unlike some certification bodies that only report a proficiency band. Examova's mock exams score against the same 36/60 threshold.
Is the PRINCE2 Foundation exam closed book?
Yes. It's a closed-book exam — the PRINCE2® Project Management Official Book is recommended for study but cannot be used during the exam itself. Every question is an Objective Test Question with four options.
What are the PRINCE2 7 learning outcome weightings?
PeopleCert's syllabus v7.2 weights the Foundation exam across five learning outcomes: key concepts 3%, principles 8%, people 14%, practices 60%, and processes 15%. Practices — business case, organization, plans, quality, risk, issues, and progress — dominate the paper, so that's where most study time should go.
What question types appear on the PRINCE2 Foundation exam?
All questions are Objective Test Questions with four options. The syllabus defines four styles: standard, missing word (select the word completing a sentence), list (pick the two correct statements from four), and negative (a standard question worded negatively), used only as an exception where a learning outcome tests knowing something is not done.
What level of thinking does the PRINCE2 Foundation exam test?
The syllabus limits Foundation questions to Bloom's levels 1 and 2 — recall and understanding. Candidates need to remember PRINCE2 terms and concepts and show they understand how they fit together.
Is PRINCE2 Foundation a prerequisite for Practitioner?
Yes. The syllabus states that the PRINCE2® Project Management Foundation qualification is a prerequisite for the PRINCE2® Project Management Practitioner exam, which assesses the ability to apply understanding of the PRINCE2 Project Management method in context.
Is Examova affiliated with PeopleCert or PRINCE2?
No. PRINCE2® is a registered trademark of PeopleCert. Examova is an independent, third-party exam-preparation platform — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to PeopleCert. Our practice questions and study notes are mapped to PeopleCert's published syllabus.
