What ITIL4F actually tests

How Skarp gets you to 65%

Step 1

Free diagnostic

About a minute. You get a score for every domain, not a single number — so you can tell whether the gap is in “Seven ITIL practices in detail” or somewhere narrower.

Step 2

A study guide from your wrong answers

Not a generic chapter. The guide is written against the questions you actually missed, and it explains why each wrong option was wrong.

Step 3

Mock exams at real conditions

40 questions, 60 minutes, same domain weighting as the real ITIL4F paper.

Step 4

Repeat, re-weighted

Each retake over-weights the domains you struggled with, until your readiness score sits clear of the 65% pass mark.

ITIL 4 Foundation — common questions

How many questions are on the ITIL 4 Foundation exam?

The ITIL 4 Foundation exam has 40 questions with a 60-minute time limit. Skarp mock exams match that count and timing so practice feels like the real sitting.

What score do you need to pass ITIL4F?

You need 65% to pass. Skarp tracks a readiness score against that threshold, domain by domain, so you can see whether you are above the line before you book.

Which blueprint version does this cover?

Skarp maps every ITIL 4 Foundation question to the official v4.2.0 blueprint from PeopleCert, across 7 exam domains. Questions are dated to their blueprint version, so you are never studying a retired syllabus.

Is the ITIL 4 Foundation diagnostic free?

Yes. The diagnostic is free and needs no card. It takes about a minute and reports which of the 7 exam domains are already solid and which are not. Full prep — adaptive study guides and unlimited mock exams — needs Plus.

How much does the ITIL 4 Foundation exam cost?

PeopleCert charges around $500 to sit ITIL4F. That is the exam fee itself and is paid to PeopleCert, not to Skarp — which is why it is worth knowing you are ready before you book.
