Practice that teaches
Show your thinking.
We’ll help you build on it.
The goal is useful feedback you can act on today, wherever you are in your preparation.
Check your confidence
Mark answers as confident, unsure, or a guess. A confident mistake and a correct guess deserve different follow-up.
Turn feedback into practice
Review the reasoning, try a targeted exercise, and use a fresh official sample exam to check your progress.

The syllabus, made practical
Six chapters. One useful baseline.
This short diagnostic samples CTFL v4.0.1. It deliberately includes two tool questions for more useful feedback; its chapter mix differs from a full exam.
01 · Fundamentals of Testing5 questions
02 · Testing Throughout the SDLC4 questions
03 · Static Testing2 questions
04 · Test Analysis and Design6 questions
05 · Managing Test Activities5 questions
06 · Test Tools2 questions
The official exam has 40 questions, a 26/40 pass mark, and a standard 60-minute duration. This diagnostic is a learning aid, not an official exam or a prediction of passing. Check official exam information ↗
Before you begin
Good questions. Clear answers.
Is this a full ISTQB mock exam?
No. It is a 24-question learning diagnostic using original practice scenarios mapped to selected CTFL v4.0.1 learning objectives. It does not cover every objective or reproduce the official exam blueprint. Use an unseen, full-length official sample exam as a separate check after studying.
What does my score tell me?
It shows how many of these 24 questions you answered correctly. Small chapter samples can swing sharply from one answer, so the report includes counts and specific topics. It does not estimate a pass probability, guarantee exam readiness, or certify competence.
Can I pause, skip a question, or change an answer?
Yes. In untimed mode you can take breaks. In timed mode the 36-minute countdown keeps running when you leave, and your attempt submits when time runs out. You can skip, flag, and change answers before submission. Unanswered questions receive zero points.
Do I need to give you my email to see results?
No. Your score, explanations, study plan, and downloadable report are free without registration. The assessment code saves progress locally in this browser, makes it available to resume for 24 hours, and does not send your answers to Nopmark. Expired saved attempts are cleared when the assessment is next opened; you can also delete your saved attempt from the report. Normal website privacy practices still apply.
How can Nopmark help after the assessment?
Use your report to choose a starting point. Nopmark’s CTFL eLearning includes practical labs and practice questions; live training offers instructor-led preparation. The report explains which format may fit your needs, and free self-study resources remain available. Explore the eLearning course and exam bundle.
How is this assessment maintained?
This version was checked against the CTFL v4.0.1 syllabus and the exam structure tables available on 8 September 2026. Each question includes a syllabus reference in the answer review. It is independent practice material, not endorsed or approved by ISTQB. Tell us if you spot a question that needs attention.
