Foundation Level — Agile Tester (CTFL-AT) Practice Test

The official ISTQB CTFL-AT exam typically has 40 multiple-choice questions with a 60-minute time limit. This practice test contains 154 questions, which is significantly larger. The extra questions allow you to cover more variations of scenarios and reinforce learning across all syllabus areas. Use it to build stamina and identify knowledge gaps before attempting the real exam.

Yes, the CTFL-AT syllabus assumes you already hold the ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) certification or have equivalent knowledge. This practice test builds on that foundation, focusing specifically on agile extensions. If you are not yet CTFL certified, you may find some questions challenging without the prerequisite context.

The questions are a mix of both. Many are scenario-based, requiring you to apply agile testing principles to realistic project situations - for example, deciding which test technique to use in a sprint or how to handle a failing acceptance test. Others test your recall of definitions and process steps. This balance mirrors the real exam structure.

Prioritize the topic areas where you feel least confident. Take an initial diagnostic run of 30-40 questions from each section to identify weak spots. Then focus your study on those areas using the syllabus. Use the remaining questions for full-length timed practice sessions. Even 20 minutes of daily review with targeted questions is more effective than cramming.

Absolutely. The agile testing quadrants and risk-based testing are core topics in the CTFL-AT syllabus. This practice test includes multiple questions that ask you to classify test types into quadrants, prioritize tests based on business risk, and decide when to automate. Mastering these questions will directly improve your ability to plan testing in real sprints.
