The CPSA-Foundation exam is the step that turns the course into a certification: it is taken separately, online, with the ITA-STQB certification body. Here you will find the format, cost, registration and how we prepare you.
The exam lasts 75 minutes (90 if you do not take it in your native language) and has 40 to 50 multiple-choice questions.
You need at least 60% of the maximum score to pass.
Questions are worth 1 to 3 points depending on difficulty and come in three types: choice between two options, single answer and multiple answer. You need at least 60% of the total score to pass; according to the iSAQB® rules, wrong answers can subtract points, so it pays to answer carefully.
According to the iSAQB® exam rules, the exam can be retaken twice with no waiting period; after a third failure you must wait a year. Conditions may change: check the up-to-date ones on the certification body's website.
Online, in Live Remote Proctored mode, i.e. supervised remotely in real time. When you register you choose whether to take it in Italian or English.
