I have been taking the PRINCE2 exams. Was on a course for 4 days last week that ended with the foundation exam, managed to pass that one. Today I had the 3 hour Practitioner exam, blimey it was hard. I have been studying to pass and the mocks that I had I thought were fine and not really a problem BUT
todays was bloody hard. Not sure if it was because of the exam conditions but it was tricky. I hope that I managed to "read" the questions correctly and get the right answers. It was the new style objective testing rather then the "old" essay style one. The examiner also did the exam as it so new and she wants to get an understanding of them, and she said it was a lot harder then the ones she has done in the past ! Apparently since changing the exam the pass mark was around 85% compared to around 75% on the old style SO they was going to make it harder, well it looks like they did !
The old way you used be able to explain the reasons for your answers but now it is YES or NO and nothing in the middle. Personally I think it is harder ;-)
I will let you know if I pass, if it goes quiet then you know I failed :-)
Used to take at least 12 weeks for the marking but it is 2-4 weeks now that a computer sorts them out.
Max and Faye went to a birthday party today. Faye managed to get a some new maternity clothes. She looks fab. Will get some of us all on here soon.
Got Max's 2
nd birthday in a couple of weeks time, man how time flies ! He is now in a "real" bed and touch wood he seems fine and is staying in there ! We did have to change his sleep wear though from a sleeping bag to a sleeping suit. Oh and a major that I should of said ages ago was he is now toilet trained, Faye got him trained up a couple of months ago!
Talk soon,
James
