There are several sites claiming to give free/paid mock tests for ISTQB exam preparation. But some of them are actually exam dumps.
As exam dumps are actually against the rules since they violate standard non-disclosure (NDA) agreements. (NDA agreements typically state that reproducing, sharing, or publishing exam content, verbatim questions, or identifying correct and incorrect answers is expressly forbidden)
I found some sites which claim to give mock tests (no where in these sites they have written that the tests are exam dumps):
I recently took the exam and passed. I used two methods of preparation - a course on Udemy and the sample tests on ISTQB. I took them over a couple of times and the questions I received were very similar.
Things that they try and trick you with:
Know the difference between error, defect, and failure
Be able to understand equivalence partitions
Be able to understand 2-point boundary testing. Very important to know if they are asking for that or just the partition - as they’ll try and trip you up.
State changes can be tricky - understand those
Know your principles of testing (Pesticide paradox, exhaustive testing, etc)
Read through each answer on the sample exams and understand WHY an answer was wrong. There are excellent hints in there.
For those planning getting the certificate in sw testing.
I’ve created ISTQB Foundation Level practice exams at Udemy. It is my own interpretation, based on format of typical FL exams. 3 sets of exams can be accessed here -
