Free practice sample
Fifteen original ITIL 4 Specialist: Drive Stakeholder Value practice questions, unlocked with no signup and scored instantly. The sample is weighted across all eight syllabus sections in the proportions PeopleCert publishes, so onboarding and offboarding carries the most items and the 5% section on how customer journeys are designed carries one, the mix reflects the shape of the real paper rather than an even sweep of the syllabus.
DSV is the customer-journey module, and its questions are written from both sides of the table. You are typically shown a provider and a consumer who disagree about how well things are going: every target met and the contract out to tender, an onboarding delivered on time into an organisation that was not ready, savings that never arrived because the changes they depended on were never made. Two or three options are usually defensible and exactly one is best. Every explanation here names the winning answer 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. Drive Stakeholder Value is live and examinable today, and a certificate earned now remains valid and renews on the normal three-year cycle. Confirm current scheme dates with PeopleCert before booking.
ITIL 4 Drive Stakeholder Value Practice Questions
Frequently asked questions about ITIL 4 Drive Stakeholder Value
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. Because a blank costs exactly what a wrong answer costs, 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, and why is it higher than Foundation?
Twenty-eight of 40, which is 70%. That is five percentage points above the 65% used at ITIL Foundation level, and it applies to a scenario paper rather than a definitions paper, so the margin for a misread question is genuinely thinner. You can drop twelve questions and still pass; a thirteenth ends it. The Certifym practice sets use the same 70% threshold, so a passing practice score is an honest raw-score equivalent rather than a flattering one.
Which sections should I spend the most time on?
Eight sections share the paper, and the top four carry 62.5% of it between them: onboarding and offboarding customers and users at 17.5%, then fostering stakeholder relationships, shaping demand and defining service offerings, and acting together to ensure continual value co-creation at 15% each. Realizing and validating service value follows at 12.5%, targeting markets and stakeholders and aligning expectations at 10% each, and how customer journeys are designed at 5%. The smallest section is still worth reading, because it frames the vocabulary the other seven use.
Are there prerequisites, and is accredited training really mandatory?
Yes to both. You need ITIL 4 Foundation, any ITIL v3 certification, or an ITIL 4 Managing Professional certificate before sitting the exam. Accredited training is mandatory and results are withheld without proof of completion, so an exam voucher on its own does not produce a certificate. Budget and schedule the course as part of the credential rather than as an optional extra.
Should I take ITIL 4 or wait for Version 5?
Drive Stakeholder Value is live and 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 fresh should weigh how much runway they want. An ITIL 4 certificate earned now stays valid, renews on the normal cycle of three years and 60 CPD points, and continues to count toward the ITIL 4 Managing Professional designation. Scheme dates are PeopleCert decisions and can move, so check before booking.
How does this module fit the Managing Professional designation?
Drive Stakeholder Value counts toward ITIL 4 Managing Professional together with Create, Deliver and Support, High-Velocity IT and Direct, Plan and Improve. DSV is the demand-side module of that set: it follows the customer journey from targeting a market, through relationships, demand, agreements and onboarding, to co-creating and validating the value that results.
What does it cost, and how long does the certificate last?
Exam bundles start from $649 USD, against a list price of $865, and the certificate renews every three years with 60 CPD points. Pricing and renewal terms are set by PeopleCert and change from time to time, so treat these as the published figures at the time of writing and confirm them at the point of booking.
How is this free sample different from the full Certifym bank?
The sample is a fixed 15-question set spread across the eight sections at syllabus proportions, with no account needed and every explanation shown. The full Certifym bank is a much larger pool of independent sets weighted to the same official percentages and scored at the same 70% pass mark. None of the paid-bank items appears in this sample, so working through the free set does not burn questions you have paid for.
