There is no mentioned about the date ranges of the exam taken Also what is the sample (or population) size of all examination. For any statistical tables one would expect this information to be available. Can this information be provided?

Interestingly the numbers of people taking the exams all seem rounded to 5 or 10 I wonder why !

For ITIL training we suggest that you only undertake training from an Accredited Training Organization (ATO). All ATOs in Sweden should be registered with the Examination Institute for your country, which is DF Certifiering AB (Sweden). A link to their site can be found by visiting the following page:
