PRINCE2 Examination Options

PRINCE2 exams are either taken:

Whichever option you choose, the PRINCE2 exams you sit will be the same in terms of style and structure.

When you are booking your PRINCE2 training course, check that your PRINCE2 examinations are included in the cost of the PRINCE2 course and that your invigilator has been officially approved by the examination board (APMG).

If you decide to sit the PRINCE2 exams at a British Council office you will need to contact the APMG themselves.

To check locations, availability and cost please email servicedesk@apmgroup.co.uk stating which country you are based in.

Passing PRINCE2 - PRINCE2 Exam Preparation

Passing PRINCE2 doesn't need to be daunting if you are fully prepared.

Below are some general PRINCE2 exam preparation techniques to help you pass your PRINCE2 exam.

Get fully prepared with our PRINCE2 Foundation exam specific hints and tips and PRINCE2 Practitioner exam specific hints and tips.

Practice PRINCE2 exam questions - utilise the ILX Group PRINCE2 Exam Simulator

The ILX Group curriculam exam simulator provides the ultimate test of whether or not you have understood and absorbed the course content.

Random PRINCE2 exam questions are selected from a sample PRINCE2 exam and must be answered within the specified time as if under PRINCE2 exam circumstances.

Review PRINCE2 past examination questions

Reviewing PRINCE2 past examination questions is a great way of testing your knowledge of the subject area and of getting an idea of the type of PRINCE2 questions to expect on your PRINCE2 exam.

Knowing the PRINCE2 course material is necessary but not sufficient to guarantee success on the PRINCE2 exam - you also need to be able to communicate the answers effectively under exam conditions.

Practice using sample questions in the same format as the exam and answer them in a simulated test environment. Even though you are only practicing, it is better to write full answers to the questions so you can work through the entire thought process.

The practice session should serve as a feedback loop. Check the answers to the practice questions to diagnose your strengths and weaknesses. If you are weak in an area, go back and study it further to address any gaps.

Revising with summary notes

Make a condensed version of your readings and class notes by creating summary notes that pinpoint the key PRINCE2 terms and concepts and make sure that you understand them.

The process of making summary notes can help you to retain more information. By writing the information thoughtfully instead of just seeing it, you can develop a greater perception of the material. To take this further, activate your other senses: you can recite the summary notes aloud, and even record and listen to them.
