Requirements

You will benefit the most from this 'deep dive' into the PRINCE2 exam content and answer rationale if you have already done a PRINCE2 course at some level.

It may be you have only read the manual, and this will be the very motivator you need to go further - but it could also scare you off! Come into this course prepared to do the work - the course is an enabler, but you are the learner.

Description

This course is a deep dive into the questions and the rationale in the answers to actual PRINCE2 exam questions and prepares you to handle the pressure of the rigorous PRINCE2 exam environment.You will learn to recognise what the examiner is actually looking for and how they have structured questions to lure you into answering incorrectly, even if you know the facts.The PRINCE2 examinations are a stressful environment from the moment you sit down and prepare your workstation and get taken through all of the readiness steps with the online invigilator. You will find yourself anxious from the moment they say you can start. You need to learn in this course how to pace yourself and figure out what the examiner is really looking for in a question which clearly has more than one good answer where they are looking for the most literal answer.We spend time looking at each question and not only why a particular answer is correct but why it is incorrect and why it may have seemed like the best choice at the time.In this course, you will realise that you had good reason to give the wrong answer and that the wrong answer does not mean you do not know your material well enough to write the exam. Instead, it might just mean you went with your gut reaction rather than knowing how to figure out the structure of the question.
