On the 11th of july I had the Prince2 Practicioner exam new style. I must say I was a little bit nervous before doing the exam. After having done the exam I was not sure if I had passed the exam or not. There are just too many questions to get an idea which one I answered correct or which one not. After the exam I just confided in myself and the preparation towards the exam and wished for the best.
During my holidays I received an email with the good news: PASSED!
After this result I can write down shortly what I did in order to pass the exam:
- I did my foundation exam in 2002. After passing the exam I gained a lot of project management experience AND Prince2 experience between 2002 and 2008.
- I implemented project management according to Prince2 in 2 departments and supported many project managers doing their projects.
- I selected a well known (for its quality) Prince2 trainer: ‘t Ruysdael. And fortunately I had a good trainer: Ruud Wouters.
- During the course I rehearsed the foundation exam online, with the website provided by ‘t Ruysdael. Doing the foundation exam I got a clue about my weak spots in theory.
- I started studying on my weak spots.
- I practised the practicioner exam online with the website provided by ‘t Ruysdael. I also took the exam preparation course in order to get used to the type of questions and the way to analyse/answer them.
- A good night of sleep before the exam.
- Do the exam with good time management.
Well that’s all folks. I must say that I was very critical selecting the right training company. Some offer a Prince2 course in 3 days and I selected one with a little bit more of time. I didn’t want to get rushed and feel obligated to study too much besides my current job. That’s why the combined foundation/practicioner fast track from ‘t Ruysdael seemed ideal for me. After all it worked out fine.
I wish everybody good luck with their Prince2 exam, I’m very interested in your experience so why not leave a comment with your approach/result of the Prince2 training/exam. My next stop will be the MSP intermediate exam.
