I've noticed a behaviour that seems to increase your chances of failing PRINCE2, MSP, MoR and P3O exams.
So if you want to pass PRINCE2, pass MSP and all the other exams - you increase your chances by avoiding this one self defeating activity.

thanks mate

So true...have failed foul of this not to a large degree but most certainly have. Note taken for future 😂

Some of the best PMs I have worked with would most likely fail those exams, so, what is the point of the exams. Passing the exam does not mean someone is a good PM. I think a lot of it is simply common sense and contingency planning.

So no tips for the ones who are doing an online course. 😔

[@InfluentialPMO]

Don’t argue with the content. Make sure your exam answers reflect what you’ve learned, rather than knowledge or experience you arrived with. Good luck.

Any advice or tips on how to revise and prepare for the Prince2 Foundation exam? Getting ready to take mine shortly after completing an online course

For PRINCE2, and other exams, take all the mock exams you can - but always note the areas you're dropping points on and revisit them, learning the answers off by heart. It's hard to say where to focus in the book/course as the whole topic is explored in the exams, but when I had a trainer they strongly emphasised the need to learn about the key roles and responsibilities. Being strong in that area helped to pick up a lot of points for me. Whether that's still the case, I don't know.
For the revision, I used Tony Buzan's Study Guide book to assist me. I did revision/reading in 20 minute chunks, with 10 minute breaks, applied speed reading techniques and used mind maps to capture my notes.

I had a ppt from my training organization, and it would've actually been enough to pass. But I also read the book. Mock exams are gold, I agree.
