Can you fail PRINCE2?

Yes, you can fail a PRINCE2 exam if you do not score at least 55%. This is the minimum passing score for both the PRINCE2 Foundation exam and PRINCE2 Practitioner exam. If you fail the exam, you can retake it at a later date by paying the exam fee again. After completing the online exam, you will receive your exam results immediately. It is important to prepare well and thoroughly for the exams to ensure that you are able to pass on your first attempt.
