Introduction

RandomisedFeeling overloaded by ITIL 4 Foundation prep? You’re not alone.
The course packs in guiding principles, practices, the Service Value System, and a dozen new terms that feel like they were designed to fry your brain. Many candidates find themselves drowning in flashcards and notes, wondering if they’ll ever keep it all straight for the exam.

That’s exactly where a mock exam comes in. Practising under realistic conditions doesn’t just test what you know — it builds confidence, highlights weak spots, and gets you used to the time pressure you’ll face on exam day.

Below, you’ll find a 40-question ITIL 4 Foundation mock test that mirrors the real exam format:

  • Multiple-choice questions with one correct answer
  • 60-minute countdown timer to simulate exam stress
  • Randomised questions and answers each time you refresh
  • Print options so you can revise offline or share with your study group

Think of this as your dress rehearsal. By the end, you’ll know whether you’re ready to sit the real thing — or whether you need to revisit those “guiding principles” one more time.

Pre-Exam Checklist

Before you take the mock exam (or the real one), make sure you’ve:

  1. Read and understood the 7 ITIL Guiding Principles
    • Focus on value
    • Start where you are
    • Progress iteratively with feedback
    • Collaborate and promote visibility
    • Think and work holistically
    • Keep it simple and practical
    • Optimize and automate
      These are everywhere in the syllabus and exam.
  2. Familiarise yourself with the Service Value System (SVS), especially:
    • The Service Value Chain activities
    • How Governance, Guiding Principles, Practices, and Continual Improvement all interact.
  3. Understood the Four Dimensions of Service Management:
    • Organisations & People
    • Information & Technology
    • Partners & Suppliers
    • Value Streams & Processes
  4. Studied the major ITIL Practices (not all trivial details, but key ones for the exam):
    • Incident Management
    • Problem Management
    • Change Enablement / Control
    • Service Level Management
    • Request Management
    • Service Desk / Service Request practices
  5. Done sample or mock exams under timed conditions (60 mins for 40 MCQs) to get used to pacing.
  6. Reviewed keywords & definitions: “utility”, “warranty”, “value”, “outcomes”, “risk”, distinctions between “service relationship”, “service offering”, etc. These often show up.
  7. Taken breaks, allowed time for revision of weak areas and not crammed everything last minute — overloading causes exam fatigue more than you think.

Is This Mock Exam “Current”?

Based on the sources (PeopleCert, New Horizons, etc.), yes — the mock exam structure and content are consistent with the current ITIL 4 Foundation exam as of mid–2025/late 2025. Here’s how:

  • The exam environment (proctored / online, closed book, etc.) may differ depending on your provider.

Wrapping Up

Preparing for the ITIL 4 Foundation exam can feel like a marathon — lots of new terminology, frameworks, and practices crammed into a short space of time. If you’ve made it through this mock test, you’ve already taken one of the best steps toward exam success: practice under pressure.

Remember, the goal isn’t just to pass an exam. It’s to build a mindset that helps you apply ITIL concepts in the real world — whether that’s managing incidents at 2 a.m., smoothing out a messy change process, or keeping service levels on track when chaos strikes.

So, good luck on the real thing. You’ve got this. 🎓💪
