Fifteen original ITIL 4 Specialist: High-Velocity IT practice questions, unlocked with no signup and scored instantly. The mix is weighted to the published syllabus rather than spread evenly, which on this paper means something unusual: nine of the fifteen items come from a single section. That is the shape of the real exam, and seeing it before you study is worth more than any individual question here.
High-Velocity IT is not a DevOps exam with an ITIL badge on it. It asks what actually changes when a digital product is delivered fast, how a product that competes for customer attention behaves differently from an internal service, and what fast, resilient and conformant delivery demands in return. The questions that catch people out describe a team optimising hard for speed and then hand you the consequence that showed up somewhere else, in operations, in conformance evidence, or in value the consumer never realised. Two options are usually defensible; one is best. Every explanation names the winner and the near miss it beats.
Scheme status. PeopleCert released ITIL Version 5 in February 2026, and the current plan is to sunset all ITIL 4 modules on 31 December 2027. High-Velocity IT is live and examinable today. A certificate earned now remains valid, renews on the normal three-year cycle, and still counts toward higher modules, passing this exam is not wasted work if the scheme moves on.

ITIL 4 High-Velocity IT Practice Questions
Frequently asked questions about ITIL 4 Specialist: High-Velocity IT
How many questions are on the real exam, and how long do I get?
Forty multiple-choice questions in 90 minutes, closed book, with no negative marking. Candidates sitting in a language that is not their first receive 113 minutes rather than 90. Because a blank answer costs exactly what a wrong one does, there is never a reason to leave a question unanswered, confirm current logistics with PeopleCert when you book, since the format is theirs to set.
What score do I need to pass?
Twenty-eight of 40, which is 70%. That is a harder bar than ITIL Foundation sets, and it leaves room for only twelve wrong answers across the whole paper. The Certifym practice sets use the same 70% pass mark, so a passing score here is an honest raw-score equivalent rather than a flattering one.
Which section should I spend the most time on?
One section carries 60% of the paper on its own: contributing to achieving value with digital products. Everything else shares the remaining 40%, concepts of the high-velocity digital enterprise at 17.5%, the ITIL guiding principles and fundamental concepts at 15%, and the digital product lifecycle in the ITIL operating model at 7.5%. This is the single most useful fact about the exam. Roughly 24 of the 40 questions come from that one section, so a candidate who is strong on the concepts and weak on achieving value can fail while feeling well prepared. Study time should follow the weights, not the syllabus order.
What is actually inside the 60% section?
It is organised around five things a high-velocity organisation is trying to achieve at once: valuable investments, fast development, resilient operations, co-created value, and assured conformance. The exam tends to test the tension between them rather than each in isolation, a team that buys speed by deferring test automation, or conformance evidence that cannot keep pace with daily deployment. The nine items in this sample are spread across all five rather than clustered, for the same reason.
Do I need prerequisites or accredited training?
Both. The entry requirement is ITIL 4 Foundation, any ITIL v3 certification, or an ITIL 4 Managing Professional certificate. Accredited training is also mandatory for this module, and PeopleCert withholds results without proof of completion, so the course is part of the credential rather than an optional preparation route. Practice questions supplement accredited training here; they do not replace it.
Where does High-Velocity IT fit in the scheme?
It is one of the four modules that make up ITIL 4 Managing Professional, alongside Create, Deliver and Support, Drive Stakeholder Value, and Direct, Plan and Improve. Candidates usually take it because their organisation delivers digital products on a fast cadence and the vocabulary of the module maps onto work they already do. Certification renews every three years or through 60 CPD points.
Should I take ITIL 4 or wait for Version 5?
Both schemes are examinable today. PeopleCert released Version 5 in February 2026 and the current plan is to sunset all ITIL 4 modules on 31 December 2027, so a candidate starting from scratch in 2026 gets a longer runway from Version 5. If you already hold ITIL 4 Foundation, or you are partway through Managing Professional, finishing High-Velocity IT under ITIL 4 is the faster path. The certificate stays valid after the sunset date, renews normally, and still counts toward higher modules.
How is this free sample different from the full Certifym bank?
The sample is a fixed 15-question set weighted to the four syllabus sections, with no account needed and every explanation visible. The full Certifym bank is ten independent 100-question sets, each weighted to the same official percentages and scored at the same 28-of-40 equivalent 70% pass mark. None of the paid-bank items appears in this sample, these fifteen were written separately as teasers.
