40-question, 60-minute full practice model based on the current CTFL structure. The current provider guide, not this page, controls the live exam structure.
Each of the 20 numbered mocks contains 40 original questions in a timed 60-minute session. A question is dealt to one numbered mock only, so no two full mocks reuse the same question set.
After submitting, use your score, attempted/correct/wrong/unanswered breakdown and worked solutions to plan the next revision cycle.
Check whether you meet the ISTQB CTFL eligibility criteria and understand exactly how the paper is structured and marked before you plan your preparation.

A fresher-friendly ISTQB CTFL roadmap — understand the paper first, follow a month-by-month plan, build a weekly routine and peak with reviewed full-length mocks.
Start with the paper structure, build concepts in layers, then use timed practice and review to turn preparation into a repeatable score.
The first 12 weeks
Have less than three months? Keep the sequence and shorten each phase rather than skipping mock review.
Read the official pattern first, then make a realistic subject map for 6 subjects. Begin with Fundamentals of Testing, Testing Throughout the Lifecycle, Static Testing. Focus on concepts before speed.
Cover the remaining syllabus, including Test Analysis and Design, Managing Test Activities, Test Tools, while revising Month 1 every week. Move from untimed questions to short timed sets.
Use the real exam time limit (60 minutes) in full-length practice. Review every mock longer than it took to attempt it; the review is where improvement happens.
Your repeatable week
Read one focused concept block and make a short revision sheet.
Immediately answer topic questions; do not wait until you have ‘finished’ the syllabus.
Log mistakes by concept, not just by score. Revisit them after 2–3 days.
Use a timed section or mock to practise decisions under the clock.
ISTQB CTFL-specific priorities
Use the provider's current exam guide to map every domain to hands-on tasks, documentation and labs.
Create a small sandbox project for the services, tools or workflows in the objectives; scenario questions make more sense after hands-on practice.
Take the first mock as a diagnostic, then alternate focused domain revision with fresh timed papers and solution review.
Exam codes, objectives, languages and delivery can change. Recheck the official page before paying for the live exam.
Final 7 days
Revise your short notes and error log; do not begin major new topics.
Take only the number of mocks you can properly review; protect sleep and routine.
Confirm the official admit-card instructions, reporting time, centre and permitted items.
Want personal support?
Get help with your study plan, difficult concepts and mock-test review, subject to trainer availability.
