New PRINCE2™ Practitioner Exam (April 2008)

New PRINCE2™ Practitioner Exam

After three months of use, the new exam format has been further revised by the Examining Body to exclude questions that penalise you by subtracting marks for any incorrect answer. From now on, you will only get rewarded for answering a question correctly and not penalised for any incorrect answer that you may offer.

Statistics from APMG (PRINCE2™ Examining Body) indicate that you are more likely to pass the new exam. Results from exams taken between 1 January and 7 March 2008 indicate that almost 90% of exam candidates pass the new exam, in comparison to 72% passing the previous exam format. As a result, APMG has already considered, but, for now, decided against increasing the pass mark from 50% to 60% (it was considering an increase in the rate from June 2008). Instead, APMG intends to continue to monitor the pass rate situation and determine whether to act in future. We will keep you updated!
