Is the PRINCE2 exam difficult?

Each PRINCE2 exam is a different level of complexity difficult. Of the two PRINCE2 exams, the PRINCE2 Foundation is the easier. The national average pass rate for the PRINCE2 Foundation exam in the UK is 97%. This means that only a small percentage of candidates fail the exam. To increase your chances of success, it is important to study the material thoroughly and be well prepared for the exam. Candidates who score well on the PRINCE2 Foundation exam are also likely to do well on the more challenging PRINCE2 Practitioner exam. Students sitting the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam achieve a 73% pass rate in the UK which makes it more difficult than Foundation.

However, by putting in the effort to study and prepare for the exams, you can improve your chances of passing and achieving your PRINCE2 certification.
