CTIL Exam FAQs for 2026 Candidates

Which certification does the CTIL exam lead to?

The CTIL exam is the official Global Association for Quality Management (GAQM) exam behind the GAQM certification certification, validating the skills measured by the GAQM Certified Software Tester - Intermediate Level (CSTIL) credential. It sits at the Intermediate level of the Global Association for Quality Management (GAQM) certification program. It also connects to Certified Software Tester - Foundation Level (CSTFL), Certified Software Testing Manager (CSTM), so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

How many questions are on the CTIL exam, and how much time do I get?

The CTIL 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.

What score do I need to pass the CTIL exam, and what does it cost?

The passing score for the CTIL exam is 70% (28/40), and the official registration fee is 150 USD (voucher price). Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book. Work through the 25 practice questions on Getcertkey, sit a timed practice test, and schedule your exam only when your scores are consistently comfortable. That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.

Are there any prerequisites for the CTIL exam?

No mandatory prerequisites, though Foundation level recommended Requirements can change when Global Association for Quality Management (GAQM) revises its certification program, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official exam page before you register.

Can I try the CTIL practice questions before I buy?

Yes. Getcertkey provides a free CTIL PDF demo so you can review the question style and answer quality before purchasing. Every purchase also includes 365 days of free updates — if GAQM revises the exam during that period, the updated material reaches you at no cost. Once the free-update year ends, you can extend your update service at a 50% discount.
