Everything you need to know about how the PRINCE2 Agile Found. exam is structured — questions, time, scoring, and exactly how the marks are distributed.
40 multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes, closed book, no negative marking — the current Version 2 exam built on PRINCE2 7 terminology (the older 50-question Version 1 is being retired). Delivered via PeopleCert online proctoring or accredited training organizations.
PeopleCert publishes how the 40 questions are distributed (PRINCE2 Agile Foundation Syllabus Version 2.0 (PeopleCert, 2025 — aligned with PRINCE2 7); no official per-outcome weighting published, equal split shown). Weight your preparation to match — this is the single most useful planning fact:
| Area | Weight | |
|---|---|---|
| Agile Mindset & Ways of Working | 20% | |
| Combining PRINCE2 and Agile | 20% | |
| Focus Areas of Agile Delivery | 20% | |
| Fix and Flex — the Hexagon | 20% | |
| Tailoring PRINCE2 for Agile | 20% |
Agile Mindset & Ways of Working is the heaviest at 20% — most candidates under-weight it.

Start free →It's a separate certification that layers agile ways of working (Scrum, Kanban, Lean Startup, agile behaviours) onto PRINCE2's governance — the exam tests how to tailor PRINCE2 for agile delivery, not PM fundamentals.
Via the hexagon: time and cost are fixed and protected, scope and quality flex within agreed tolerances (using MoSCoW), and benefits and risk are actively monitored — so the Project Board keeps oversight while teams deliver iteratively.
The hexagon shows the six project aspects and which to fix vs flex; the Agilometer scores how ready the project environment is for agile working, guiding how much agile tailoring is appropriate.
40 multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes, closed book, no negative marking — the current Version 2 exam built on PRINCE2 7 terminology (the older 50-question Version 1 is being retired).
The passing score is 60% — 24 out of 40 questions (Version 2; the retiring V1 used 55%). Aim for a consistent 80–85% on realistic practice exams before booking.
PeopleCert does not publish official pass rates, so any exact percentage quoted online is unverified. The readiness signal that actually predicts passing: consistently holding 80–85% on realistic, full-length practice exams before you book.
None — PRINCE2 Foundation is not required first, though basic familiarity with PRINCE2 or agile helps.
