Is a project management exam hard?

Whether a project management exam is hard can vary. In the UK, over 97% of students pass the PRINCE2 Foundation exam.

Other more easier project management exams include APM PFQ, and AgilePM Foundation.

More harder project management exams include PRINCE2 Practitioner, APM PMQ, and AgilePM Practitioner

However, the hardest project management exam of all is the PMP® exam which most candidates find very challenging. PMP® is the preferred exam in the Americas and Asia, but PRINCE2 is preferred in Europe and the UK, and APM and AgilePM exams are preferred in the UK.
