PRINCE2 PRINCE2Foundation Exam: Frequently Asked Questions
The PRINCE2 7 Foundation written exam is the official AXELOS / PeopleCert test registered under exam code PRINCE2Foundation. Passing it earns you the PRINCE2® 7 Foundation certification, a credential at the Foundation level. It is also linked to the related certification: PRINCE2® 7 Practitioner. AXELOS / PeopleCert exams are valued because they test job-ready skills, so a passing score here carries real weight on a resume.
The PRINCE2 7 Foundation written exam includes 60 questions to be completed within 60 (75 for non-native speakers). Do the pacing math before exam day: with that many items on the clock, you need a steady rhythm and the discipline to flag a hard question and move on instead of stalling. Two or three full timed sessions with the ActualCollection test engine will show you exactly what that pace feels like, so time pressure stops being a factor on the real day.
To pass the PRINCE2 7 Foundation written exam you need 36/60 (60%), and the official registration fee is £465 / €540 / $590 (approximate). A retake is not discounted: a failed attempt means paying the full £465 / €540 / $590 (approximate) again, so treat your first sitting as the expensive one. A sensible rule is to book your seat only after you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on the ActualCollection practice tests, not just squeaking past it once.
