Real feedback from people who passed
“The flashcards are underrated. I used them during my commute and it made a huge difference for the theory-heavy ITIL questions. Passed first try. Already using it again for CISM.”
“I failed my CISSP on the first attempt with another platform. Switched to CertCrush, focused on my weak domains using the tracking feature, and passed three months later. The explanations for wrong answers are genuinely useful, not just 'A is correct because A is correct'.”
“Honestly wasn't expecting much but this is probably the best ten bucks I've spent on exam prep. Did 20–30 questions every morning before work for 6 weeks. Passed with a comfortable margin. The timed exam mode is what really got me comfortable with the pressure.”
Practice questions, flashcards and a full study guide for the PRINCE2 7 Foundation exam. Covers the seven principles, seven practices and seven processes, plus the people and project-context content introduced in the 7th edition.

About the PRINCE2 Foundation Exam
PRINCE2 is the project management method most widely used across UK government, European public sector and a large slice of private industry, and Foundation is the level that proves you actually understand how it fits together. The 7th edition, released in 2023, is a real change rather than a refresh: themes were renamed practices, a whole new people element was added, and sustainability and data management now run through the method. If you learned PRINCE2 before that, a good portion of what you know has moved. The Foundation exam is closed book, which is what makes it harder than people expect. You are not being asked to apply the method to a scenario, you are being asked whether you know it: which principle covers what, which practice owns which document, which process produces which output, and who does what. That is recall, and recall is built by repetition rather than by reading. Sixty percent of the exam sits in the practices, so a candidate who knows the seven principles cold and skims the practices tends to fail. The people content is new enough that most existing study material barely covers it, and at 14% it is worth more than the principles. These questions are written against the 7th edition syllabus, weighted to match the real exam, and every answer explains why the other options are wrong. That last part matters more than it sounds, because PRINCE2 distractors are usually real PRINCE2 terms used in the wrong place.

Exam Format & Details
60 multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes, closed book. You need 36 correct (60%) to pass. Non-native English speakers get 25% extra time (75 minutes). Sat online or at a test centre through PeopleCert. There are no performance-based or drag-and-drop items; every question is standard multiple choice. The certification does not expire.
Why Practice Questions Matter
PRINCE2 Foundation is a vocabulary exam. The method defines seven principles, seven practices, seven processes, a set of management products and a project management team structure, and the exam tests whether you can tell them apart under time pressure. Reading the manual builds recognition; answering questions builds recall, and only recall survives a closed-book exam. Practice questions also expose the specific confusions the examiners target: business case versus benefits management approach, issue versus risk, stage versus phase, project board versus project manager. You want to make those mistakes here, not on exam day.
