How many questions is the PRINCE2 7 Foundation exam?

Sixty multiple-choice questions in sixty minutes, closed book. You need 36 to pass.

Is the pass mark still 55%?

No — it rose to 60% in version 7, and a lot of study material still quotes the old figure. Chapter 9 covers the current format in full.

What changed between PRINCE2 6 and PRINCE2 7?

People became a standalone element, sustainability became the seventh performance target, themes were renamed and reorganized as practices, and the project environment became project context. Appendix A compares the two versions.

Do I need PRINCE2 Agile?

Not for this exam. PRINCE2 7 is delivery-agnostic, and Chapter 10 explains where Agile fits and when the separate certification is worth it.

The exam itself

No wall of bullet points, no syllabus paraphrased back at you. You watch a mandate become a project brief, the brief become a PID, a stage boundary turn into an exception when lumber prices spike, and a change request for a skylight get decided by a board that has to find the money somewhere. PRINCE2 isn’t built for a special kind of project — it’s built for yours.

Who it's for

•Anyone sitting PRINCE2 7 Foundation and starting from zero
•PRINCE2 6 holders who need to know what actually changed
•Project managers, PMO staff and team leads who have to work inside a PRINCE2 shop
