Training, exams and certification
Forty questions in sixty minutes, closed book, twenty-four to pass. The exam is not about agile and it is not about PRINCE2: it is about the seam between them, which is a harder thing to revise.
PRINCE2 Agile Foundation (Version 2) is the entry module of the PRINCE2 Agile scheme, and the prerequisite for its Practitioner.

Forty questions in sixty minutes is ninety seconds each — half as generous again as PRINCE2 7 Foundation, which gives sixty. That extra half-minute is not decoration: PRINCE2 Agile questions tend to describe a small situation before they ask anything, so there is more to read per question.
Sixteen wrong answers is the margin. It is the same proportion as every other Foundation in the PRINCE2 family, and the same trap: people spend it early on two questions they could have marked and returned to.
Read that list again and notice how few of the nine are about agile alone. Most are about a tension: governance against responsiveness, fixed against variable, a project board against a team that wants to decide for itself. The exam lives in those tensions, and the answers are rarely the purest agile option or the purest PRINCE2 one.
Knowing Scrum well is not an advantage here, and can be a handicap. Candidates who arrive from a working agile practice often answer what their team would do, rather than what the syllabus says PRINCE2 Agile does.
The same goes in reverse for PRINCE2 practitioners: the instinct to control everything through the project board is wrong just as often. The module is explicit that some things are fixed and some are flexed, and it is specific about which.
Learn what is fixed and what flexes. If you can say which of time, cost, scope and quality PRINCE2 Agile expects to move, a good share of the paper follows.
Do not answer from your own team’s practice. Answer from the guidance, even where you disagree with it.
Rehearse at ninety seconds a question, closed book. Sixteen wrong answers is the whole margin.
