I want to give a realistic comparison since I took the real ISO 14001 Foundation Certification exam last week.
Overall difficulty: About what I expected based on my practice scores. I'd been consistently hitting 74-78% on the practice tests at https://practicetestgeeks.com/iso-14001-foundation-certification and I scored 76% on the real thing, so the calibration was good.
Question style: The real exam has slightly longer question stems for the scenario-based questions. More detail means more opportunities to get tripped up by irrelevant info, but also more clues if you know what you're looking for.
Topics I didn't see: A couple of subtopics I'd drilled heavily barely appeared. Don't over-rotate on any one area.
Topics that surprised me: There were more calculation-type questions than I expected. Not difficult math, but you need to know the formulas cold.
Bottom line: practice tests are a solid predictor. If you're hitting 72%+ consistently, you're in the zone.
