The new Prince2 Practitioner exam is in multiple choice format. DOn’t be fooled into thinking this is going to make it easier. It’s still three hours long and now you are tested across nine topics rather than the original three. These topics are:

Processes
Business Case
Organisation
Plans
Controls
Management of risk
Quality in a project environment
Configuration management
Change control
Product based planning
Change control technique
Quality review technique

It is still an open book exam meaning you are still allowed to bring in any manuals, books and paperwork you want although the top training companies recommend you should only look at the manual twice during the exam due to time contraints. You should also be aware that there is negative marking which means getting an answer wrong could result in you losing marks. Once you register with APM for the exam you will get some example questions to download.
