Passing the PRINCE2 Exams For Dummies

Practising With Some Questions

The last section of this chapter has some practice exam-style questions for you to have a go with, preferably to time so that you get used to the pace of the exams.

That advice is to get hold of the official sample papers available from the exam board, and use them alongside the examples in this book. The sample papers are free, and I’d have been giving you very poor value for money simply to fill this book with them. If you’re attending a training course or doing a distance-learning course, your training provider should give you copies of the official sample papers.
