Chapter 9 ■ ITIL Foundation Exam Tips and Tricks<br />
5. ITIL is best learned through examples. I have provided ample<br />
examples in this book. I encourage you to <strong>com</strong>e up with your<br />
own examples to help you understand the topics better. If you<br />
have any questions on the topics presented in this book, reach<br />
out to me on my blog: http://<strong>abhinav</strong>pmp.<strong>com</strong>. I have helped<br />
thousands of ITIL seekers since 2009 through my blog, and I<br />
will answer your questions too.<br />
9.3.2 Mock Exams<br />
It is <strong>com</strong>mon with any certification that you attempt a few mock papers after you have<br />
studied all the topics. The same goes with ITIL Foundation exam. Here are some tips in<br />
relation to taking mock exams:<br />
1. Axelos has provided a sample paper that you can<br />
download from their web site: https://<strong>www</strong>.axelos.<strong>com</strong>/<br />
certifications/sample-papers. You are required to register<br />
before you can download it.<br />
2. Do not do the ITIL sample question paper before you have<br />
<strong>com</strong>pleted reading this entire book. Sample papers must be<br />
used to gauge where you stand in terms of understandability,<br />
and it is best leveraged when this entire book has been read,<br />
understood, jotted down, and digested.<br />
3. Answer the Axelos sample immediately after you have<br />
<strong>com</strong>pleted this entire book. This will give you a good han<strong>dl</strong>e<br />
on how well you have understood the ITIL Framework. The<br />
real exam will be in the same pattern as this one, so in all<br />
probability, you can expect to find a few questions directly<br />
picked from the sample paper as well.<br />
4. APMG is one of the EIs used to manage the ITIL Framework<br />
before Axelos was awarded the contract. They used to provide<br />
two sample papers. They are not available presently on the<br />
APMG web site. However, they do have a mock online exam<br />
that you can take: http://<strong>www</strong>.apmg-exams.<strong>com</strong>/index.aspx?<br />
subid=4&masterid=3#<br />
5. There are a number of ITIL questions available on the<br />
Internet. Try to answer as many as possible. I cannot<br />
guarantee all the questions will be of the same quality as the<br />
exam questions, however, by the time you have <strong>com</strong>pleted<br />
the two sample papers, you will have a fair idea on what is a<br />
probable question and what isn’t.<br />
