As a Prince2 Practitioner I find it unbelievable that we are now talking about offering the answers on the paper for candidates to choose from – this is foundation level stuff. My view on this is simple, we are devaluing the Practitioner paper by making it a “multiple choice” and more importantly, if project managers are going to “freeze” at the site of a blank page than maybe they should think about another career! Sorry but this doesn’t get my vote.

Agree strong with jamsie comments: the value of Prince2 is indeed how well an individual can apply it to a ‘blank sheet’, with no prior experience to draw from. Foundation is designed to make sure you remember the basics, but Practitioner must show how well you can apply the program in a real world setting and that cannot be adequately tested in a multiple choice environment.

Errr, I strongly disagree. I have just sat (and passed) the new multi-choice practitioner exam, and believe me, its NOT easy. First of all, the time constraints are terrible. There is a 2 page case study, with 0 minutes allowed to read and digest it. The multiple choice questions are VERY ambiguous (unlike the foundation), and to be honest its 50/50 on MANY.

“and that cannot be adequately tested in a multiple choice environment”

Perhaps you just can’t think of ways to test that in a multiple choice environment. I’ve done several microsoft MCSD exams covering the Microsoft Solutions Framework. They managed to quite nicely design multiple choice exams to test exactly that. I don’t see why it should be any more of a problem for the Prince 2 exams.

Just don’t think traditional multiple choice.

I have just been put forward for the Prince2 foundation course in September. Does anybody have any advice on how best to prepare for this and/or what to expect?

Yes, anyone who still freezes at the sight of a blank page shouldn’t pass a project management exam! Maybe the candidates shouldn’t have to use pens, just in case writing instruments make them light-headed…

Hi clooven, if you get the Prince 2 book before the foundation exam revise it. If you dont you will struggle a bit because you need to learn the structure of the Prince 2 organisation.

Project Planners freezing! That is what project managers are paid for – to create a plan and act where there is nothing there before!!!

Anyone think this course is specifically designed for civil service/public sector plannners…. anyone??
