The CTFL_Syll2018_A exam is the official ISQI exam behind ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester - Foundation Level — passing it earns you the ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) certification, a credential positioned at the Foundation level. It is built for candidates who want to validate the skills measured by ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester - Foundation Level. Depending on your track, the exam is also linked to the ISTQB Advanced Level Test Analyst, ISTQB Advanced Level Test Manager and ISTQB Advanced Level Technical Test Analyst certifications, so one pass can move you toward more than one ISQI credential.

The CTFL_Syll2018_A exam presents 40 multiple-choice questions questions to be completed within 60 (standard) / 75 (non-native language extension). That pace leaves little room for second-guessing: read each question carefully on the first pass, flag the ones you want to revisit, and keep moving instead of stalling on a single item. Before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the TestSimulate desktop or online test engine with a comparable question load — a steady rhythm under the clock is a trainable skill, and it is often what separates a pass from a near miss.

To pass the CTFL_Syll2018_A exam you need 65%, and the official registration fee is Varies by country and provider (typically ~EUR 200–250 equivalent). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee again in full — retakes are not discounted. Given the cost, self-test before you book: if you can score comfortably above the passing mark on two or three consecutive timed TestSimulate practice tests, your budget is far better spent on the exam itself than on a retake.

No formal prerequisites required. Basic knowledge of software development is recommended. Because ISQI revises its certification programs from time to time, treat this as a starting point rather than the final word. Confirm the current eligibility requirements on the official ISQI exam page before you register.
