Level Up Your Career by the End of the Year

Head into 2024 with a new certification that will raise your career prospects!

If you don't have ISTQB Foundation Level certification yet, there is still enough time to study and pass your exam. What a great feeling it would be to start 2024 with that career achievement! You can still choose either version 3.1 or 4.0. Both have free sample exams created specially for the ISTQB exam offered by ASTQB and AT*SQA!

If you already have Foundation Level, then an easy addition by the end of the year is ISTQB Agile Testing certification. This is a popular and proven certification that employers appreciate. 

If you have both, then choose a certification that fits your career plans. The ASTQB software testing career roadmap helps you navigate which certification is best for your career.

Whichever certification you choose, purchase your ISTQB exam voucher now through AT*SQA and schedule your exam right away because end-of-year dates fill quickly. And if you need more time to prepare, that's no problem because ISTQB exam vouchers from AT*SQA are good for 365 days. 

Remember that only ASTQB and AT*SQA can give you Testing Tiers® points to increase your level in the Official U.S. List of Certified Software Testers™ and if you need a job, the AT*Work™ list of testers for hire.

By the end of 2023, your career could be at a new level! Get started today.

Studying for an ISTQB Exam

New ISTQB Foundation Level 4.0 Practice Exams

We make it easy to prepare for the ISTQB Foundation Level 4.0 exam with up to eight sample exams!

The ASTQB website now has six free sample exams (mock questions and answers) for ISTQB Foundation Level 4.0. Download them from either our ISTQB Foundation Level page or our ASTQB Resources page which has sample exams for all ISTQB certifications.

Important note: Two of these sample exams have been specially created for ASTQB's ISTQB Foundation Level 4.0 exam you take through AT*SQA. You will know you are taking an ASTQB Practice exam because there are ASTQB logos next to the download links and the ASTQB logo is on the front page of the PDF. Be sure to study those before you take your ISTQB Foundation Level 4.0 exam.

Bonus: If you subscribe to AT*SQA's AT*Learn™ software testing training area, you can access two additional sample exams specially designed as practice for the 4.0 exam you take through AT*SQA. These are additional, different sample exams that are an AT*Learn™ bonus. These sample exams are interactive and timed, so they will simulate the timing and experience of the real exam. (Note that AT*Learn™ also includes access to online tutorials that cover 10 testing topics. These are excellent tutorials that are designed to prepare you for AT*SQA's micro-credentials, but are not specifically designed for ISTQB Foundation Level.) 

As always, be sure to review our ISTQB Foundation Level tips to answer your questions about preparing for and taking the exam such as:

  • How much experience is needed to take the exam?
  • What is the ISTQB Foundation Level exam structure?
  • How should I prepare?
  • What terms should I know?
  • Are practice exams helpful?

Our official exam provider AT*SQA also has a great guide with tips for scheduling and preparing for your exam day.

Reviewing these sample exams and guides carefully can make your preparation for ISTQB Foundation Level less stressful and more productive. Good luck with your exam!
