PRINCE2 7 Foundation written Exam FAQ: What Candidates Ask Most
What is the PRINCE2 PRINCE2-Foundation exam?
The PRINCE2-Foundation exam is the official AXELOS / PeopleCert exam behind the PRINCE2® 7 Foundation certification, validating the skills measured by the PRINCE2 7 Foundation written credential. It sits at the Foundation level of the AXELOS / PeopleCert certification program. It also connects to PRINCE2® 7 Practitioner, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.
How many questions are on the PRINCE2-Foundation exam, and how much time do I get?
The PRINCE2-Foundation exam contains 60 questions to be completed within 60 (75 for non-native speakers). 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.

The passing score for the PRINCE2-Foundation exam is 36/60 (60%), and the official registration fee is £465 / €540 / $590 (approximate). Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book.
