PRINCE2 2009 Practitioner Examination
The Practitioner / Conversion examination was switched to the Objective Test format in September 2007 and this format is to be used for the 2009 examination with effect from the 6th of July. All current examination papers will undergo a quality check to ensure conformance to the new syllabus for 2009.
 

The marking scheme has been simplified and the number of questions reduced. Standards are now in place for the maximum number of certain styles of questions and the time allowed for the exam has also been reduced accordingly.
There has been a lot of discussion in the user and training communities regarding pass rates and the pass mark. A workshop has been scheduled for the 5th and 6th of May 2009, at which the pass mark will be determined by consensus amongst the attendees. Once ratified by the APMG Examination Board, the same pass mark will be applied to the existing 2005 exams with effect from the same date – the 6th of July.
 

2.5 hour

108 possible marks

Delegates should be aware that some evening study will be required on all four days, in order to assist in the successful completion of the examinations.
