PC-BA-FBA Exam FAQs for 2026 Candidates
Which certification does the PC-BA-FBA exam lead to?
The PC-BA-FBA exam is the official BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT) exam behind the BCS Business Analysis certification, validating the skills measured by the BCS Foundation Certificate in Business Analysis V4.0 credential. It sits at the Foundation level of the BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT) certification program. It also connects to BCS Digital Business Change Foundation, BCS Organisational Behaviour Foundation, BCS IS Project Management Foundation, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.
How many questions are on the PC-BA-FBA exam, and how much time do I get?
The PC-BA-FBA exam contains 40 questions to be completed within 60 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Getcertkey test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.
What score do I need to pass the PC-BA-FBA exam, and what does it cost?
The passing score for the PC-BA-FBA exam is 65% (26 out of 40), and the official registration fee is £200 (UK price inclusive of UK remote proctoring fee, VAT may apply; international pricing varies).
