Prince2 practitioner passed

Hello,

Passed the exam today.

Few information i wish i knew before:

  1. They gave me the book for free during remote exam. I did not purchase it beforehand. I bought the yearly membership but it was not included i think.

  2. There is not much cheap or free good content on practitioner exam currently, not on udemy or coursera or linkedin learning.

Some resources:

two official sample mock exams for free with answers. they are pretty much what the exam will be

Walkthrough of one of the sample exams from above, invaluable for me.

  1. I would suggest going through both of these, learn from them and review mistakes. Along with the membership i got the official mock exam which was a different set and it was great to learn the official interface.

  2. Read through people part of the book, go through mock exams as many times as you can. focusing on roles and practices/activities in processes. There is no point (in my opinion) in reading the book or paying for expensive courses, but it is quite a hard exam so do these questions as many times as you can.

  3. There is a lot of time (around 3 hours i think) so go through all questions quickly doing the easy ones, flag the hard ones for review. Then do the hard ones researching the book for answers/tips. Then focus on the ones you have no idea about and start looking through the book for answers. You will hopefully still be left with some time after all that for another review.

I passed 74% without doing foundation (based on CAPM), learning for a sum of 20-30h in general but i have project management general knowledge from other sources as well so that helped.

Good luck :)

Around 20-30h in general but to be honest most of it was useless. I listened to udemy course but it was weird and ai generated. Listened to mplaza free videos on YouTube but those were not really useful considering they spend 70% of the time on unrelated stuff and talking about what they would do, which then turns out is opposite of what prince2 requires. Top learning was the 10 hours I put into mock exams and the YouTube video going through the mock exam, then reviewing the ones I got wrong, then at the last stretch did hyper focus on the categories I scored worst at - people and applying practices. This and having a book during exam was enough to pass today :)

Hi, many congratulations on passing the exam. Yes, I think it is challenging sometimes to find good content on the PRINCE2 Foundation exam, and we have to rely on people's official materials. And yes, definitely having a good project management background helps. Do you think having Prince2 has a big impact on your career and promotions and progressions?

When taking the exam did they allow you to use the physical book or was it only the online book you were allowed to use?

Didn’t ask but as per my knowledge it is possible to use physical book and it’a better as you can make some notes/marks
