ITIL 4 Foundation Mock Exam (40 Questions) — Beat the Overload and Pass with Confidence
Overloaded by ITIL 4 Foundation prep? Try this free 40-question mock exam with timer, randomised questions and print options — practice under pressure and boost your chances of passing
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:
- 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.
- Familiarise yourself with the Service Value System (SVS), especially:
- The Service Value Chain activities
- How Governance, Guiding Principles, Practices, and Continual Improvement all interact.
- Understood the Four Dimensions of Service Management:
- Organisations & People
- Information & Technology
- Partners & Suppliers
- Value Streams & Processes
- 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
- Done sample or mock exams under timed conditions (60 mins for 40 MCQs) to get used to pacing.
- Reviewed keywords & definitions: “utility”, “warranty”, “value”, “outcomes”, “risk”, distinctions between “service relationship”, “service offering”, etc. These often show up.
- Taken breaks, allowed time for revision of weak areas and not crammed everything last minute — overloading causes exam fatigue more than you think.
