The ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) v4.0 (exam code CTFL_Syll_4.0) is the exam you pass to earn the ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) v4.0 certification, a credential at the Foundation level. It is also connected with related credentials such as ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level, ISTQB Certified Tester Specialist Modules. If you are mapping out a certification path with ISQI, this exam is a milestone worth planning around.

The CTFL_Syll_4.0 exam includes 40 questions, and you have 60 (75 for non-native language) to complete them. With that many questions on the clock, pacing is part of the challenge: divide your time into rough blocks as you go, and flag the items that stall you so you can circle back at the end instead of burning minutes on a single question. A week or two before your exam date, sit at least one full timed session in the Actual4dump test engine under the same time limit, so the pace feels familiar rather than frantic on the day.

You need 65% (26 out of 40) to pass the CTFL_Syll_4.0 exam, and the official registration fee is ~$100–$250 USD (varies by region/provider). That fee is due again in full for every retake, which makes thorough preparation the cheaper investment by far. Before you book your seat, test yourself with the Actual4dump practice questions until you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on a consistent basis — it is the simplest way to avoid paying for the same exam twice.

No mandatory prerequisites; recommended 6 months of practical testing experience
