The official PeopleCert blueprint (v5.0-thirdparty-novelvista) splits the exam into 7 domains, weighted as below. Skarp maps every question and every study guide to one of them, so a weak domain is something you can see and fix rather than guess at.

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 “The ITIL Service Value System (incl. Guiding Principles, Value Chain, Continual Improvement)” 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 ITIL Foundation (Version 5) 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.
