1. APMG SAMPLE ITIL VERSION 3 FOUNDATION EXAMINATION
   This is THE official sample exam. Freely accessible: click "Sample Online Exam". 40 questions (though it says 20) and yes it is the Foundation although the text says "Foundation Bridge". QA isn't a strength it seems. (Note there is also a sample ITIL V3 Foundation Bridge exam)
2. Taruu.
   Nice easy-to-use exams, no rego required. Other V3 resources too.
3. ITIL Dumps
   Also freely accessible. 3 papers of 40 questions each! He had a few errors early on but might be better now
4. Datajar
   Registration required. Only "a small timed service level management quiz with 10 questions to check your understanding" but I also like the look of their other online courses
5. ILX Group
   Only 10 questions. registration required.
6. ILX Group also have a larger download with an "ITIL V3 exam simulator" (not tested)
7. ITSM Online
   A free demo: 5 questions.
8. Another one here

and when you are done with them, buy the official ITIL Version 3 Foundation study book
Passing Your ITIL Foundation Exam - The Official Study Aid It's cheap. The first edition has a couple of errors that luckily the IT Skeptic has tabulated for you on BOKKED - the Body of Knowledge Known Error Database.

   They want to sell you their book, so these might be hard questions :-D

These are probably good preparation for ITIL V3 Foundations certification as well - ITIL V2 is still in there somewhere.

There are also hordes of ITIL V3 sample exams for sale, from eBay piracy dirt to some startlingly expensive options. Caveat emptor.
