Common Questions About the ISQI CTFL-Foundation Exam
What is the ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level exam all about?
The CTFL-Foundation exam is the official ISTQB® (International Software Testing Qualifications Board) exam behind the ISQI Certifications certification, validating the skills measured by the ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level credential. It sits at the Foundation level of the ISTQB® (International Software Testing Qualifications Board) certification program. It also connects to ISTQB® Advanced Level, ISTQB® Specialist Certifications, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.
How many questions are on the CTFL-Foundation exam, and how much time do I get?
The CTFL-Foundation exam contains 40 questions to be completed within 60 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Getcertkey test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.
Are there any prerequisites for the CTFL-Foundation exam?
None (no prerequisites required) Requirements can change when ISTQB® (International Software Testing Qualifications Board) revises its certification program, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official exam page before you register.
