Is the PRINCE2 exam hard?

Whether the PRINCE2 exam is hard depends on the individual's preparation and understanding of the material. Some people find the PRINCE2 exam challenging due to its comprehensive coverage and the need to apply various concepts practically. Adequate preparation, practice exams, and familiarity with the exam format can make it more manageable.

It is important to understand both the theoretical aspects and their practical applications, which might seem difficult for some students, especially if they are new to the methodology.
