Three minutes a question

A hundred and fifty minutes across fifty questions is three minutes each. Set against ninety seconds at Foundation, that is double — and it is the clearest signal of what changes between the two papers.

PRINCE2 Agile Foundation40 questions, 60 minutes — 90 seconds each, closed book
PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner50 questions, 150 minutes — 180 seconds each, open book

Three minutes is what it takes to read a scenario, decide which part of it the question is really about, and check the guidance if you need to. It is not spare time. Candidates who finish an hour early have usually answered from instinct rather than from the material.

The prerequisite, and what it actually is

You need one of two things before you may sit this paper: any PRINCE2 Agile (Version 1) certification, or PRINCE2 Agile Foundation (Version 2).

PeopleCert states that exam results are not released without proof of completion — here that means proof of the prerequisite certification, not proof of a training course. Accredited training is not required for this module. If you hold the prerequisite and prefer to work through the guidance alone, that is a supported route.

Note what is not on the list: PRINCE2 7 Foundation. The PRINCE2 Agile scheme has its own ladder, and a core PRINCE2 certificate does not climb it.

Open book, and the same trap as every open-book paper

The guidance goes in with you. So does the temptation to consult it, and consulting it is where the three minutes go.

The reliable habit is to answer first and verify second: form a view from the scenario, then check the one point you are unsure of. The reverse order — look it up, then decide — costs roughly twice as long and produces no better answers.

What this means for how you prepare

Practise on scenarios longer than you think you need. The skill is triage: which sentence in the description is the one the question turns on.

Tab the guidance before the day. You want to open at the right page, not search for it.

Twenty wrong answers is the margin. That is wide, and it is why running out of time, not running out of knowledge, is the usual cause of a fail.

Questions people ask

Three minutes a question is enough, if you do not spend it looking things up
