Where can I practise APM PMQ for free?
PassNova offers APM PMQ practice with a free 15-question taster — 179 multiple-choice knowledge questions across the current PMQ syllabus, each with a clear explanation. Unlock the full bank and an AI study tutor with PassNova Premium (£4.99/month, 7-day free trial). One honest note: the real PMQ exam (updated September 2024) is a mixed-format 2.5-hour exam — multiple choice plus short and long written responses. This bank builds your knowledge base in multiple-choice form; it doesn't replicate the exam's written-response format. Works on any device. Updated for 2026.

Is the APM PMQ practice up to date for 2026?
PassNova's 179 APM PMQ questions cover the current PMQ syllabus, which is based on 24 of the 29 competences in the APM Competence Framework, with exam questions using APM Body of Knowledge terminology; the bank is reviewed regularly. One honest caveat: the real PMQ exam (since September 2024) is 2.5 hours and mixed-format — about a third multiple choice/select-from-list, the rest short and long written responses. This bank practises the knowledge base in multiple-choice form; it doesn't replicate the written-response format.
Are these real APM PMQ exam questions?
No — deliberately. Every PassNova question is written from the published exam objectives, not copied from a live exam. Sites that republish real questions ("exam dumps") breach the candidate agreement you accept when you book, and using them can void your result or cost you a credential you already hold. PassNova matches the real exam's style, difficulty and domain weighting without reproducing its content.
