ISTQB CTFL v4.0 Practice Test: Foundation Level
Prepare for ISTQB CTFL v4.0 with testing scenarios, test-design exercises, diagrams, and explained answers. Try the free exam or practise by topic in IT Mastery.
Use IT Mastery to practise ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) v4.0 through testing situations you can reason about: selecting test data, interpreting a state diagram, reviewing requirements, prioritizing work, and communicating a defect.
These are original IT Mastery practice questions, not official ISTQB questions, copied live-exam content, or exam dumps. IT Mastery is independent of ISTQB.
Practise the reasoning, not the answer letter
| Evidence in a question | What to work out |
|---|---|
| Input rules and example values | Which tests exercise the relevant classes or boundaries. |
| A decision table or state diagram | Which conditions or transitions the proposed tests cover. |
| A requirement, review comment, or defect report | What evidence is missing and what the team can act on. |
| A risk or progress scenario | Which action addresses the stated testing priority. |
Explanations help you identify the deciding detail and evaluate the competing answers.
Try a timed public set
The free CTFL practice exam contains 40 original questions with explanations. Allow 60 minutes for a timed attempt, then review uncertain answers by topic. Use the page as a one-pass check alongside varied app practice.
ISTQB officially specifies 40 questions, 40 possible points, and 26 points to pass, with a standard 60-minute exam. Eligible candidates taking an exam in a non-native language receive 25% extra time; confirm eligibility with your provider. These facts were checked on September 12, 2026 against the official CTFL page . A practice result is feedback, not a pass guarantee.
Use the current Foundation syllabus
The public exam is CTFL v4.0. ISTQB’s current English syllabus download is v4.0.1, a maintenance revision within that version. The blueprint map helps organize preparation across all six chapters.
For a missed technique question, work through a fresh small example before returning to mixed practice. For a terminology gap, use the official references linked from official resources .
