Also, the best part of the book is you can be sure that none of the questions in the exam are out of the book.Tips & Tricks from my side:Try to read the Questions thoroughly and don’t assume anything. While going through the questions do concentrate, and always keep in mind that our mind would like to assume the answers and not what is given as option, most of the time that is the root cause of wrong answers.Also, try to take out the options that is Absurd first and then think of the remaining options if you are not aware.

Even though only one option is correct out of 4, there will be lot of questions where they will ask to arrange in orders, match with choices where you would require thorough understanding.

Keep in mind that out of 40, any average person who is working as QA can answer 25 questions correctly.

Usually if you already have testing experience, the foundation level exam should be easy. With little bit of preparation and good study materials, you will not require any kind of costly training – online or offline.

Depending on your experience level, you decide what to do.

1. Read a book
2. Browse online study material

ISTQB Dumps – Help guide to clear ISTQB exam

There are no ISTQB dumps as such, One need to prepare deeply, because frequency of repeated questions is very very low in ISTQB Exam & many are scenario based. I have cleared the ISTQB exam. Below words are from my real time exp.

READ BOTH THE TEXT BOOK AND SYLLABUS – NOT ONCE BUT TWICE, THRICE.

Foundation of Software Testing: ISTQB Certification” by Rex Black, Dorothy Graham is the recommended text book. You need not have to read any other text book.

All you need to do is prepare for the exam of the prescribed ISTQB Foundation book.

If anyone is looking for soft-copy of this book, let me know, I can share.

This is the book for the exam. It Contains 6 chapters. Won’t take much time as the testers will be familiar with the concepts. Take a week or 2 to brush up the concepts.

ISTQB syllabus is your bible. Text book explains every concept in detail with elaborated examples. The ISTQB syllabus is like a notes made by summarizing the text book. You might not understand several concepts if you directly read the syllabus. So read the text book first and then the syllabus.

You can download the syllabus here –http://www.istqb.org/downloads/syllabi/foundation-level-syllabus.htmlDo go through the testing GLOSSARY. There are several terminologies used in the text book and syllabus which requires you to go through the glossary.

DO NOT RELY ON DUMPS!

Several ISTQB aspirants are mislead with the concept that they can clear the exam just by solving few dumps that are available online without any preparations.

SOLVE the questions that are available online. They help you to understand the nature of questions that will appear in the exam, it might also boost your confidence a bit but NEVER rely only on question paper dumps! You cannot clear the exams by only solving the question dumps. There are several dumps available online with incorrect answers which might confuse you.

For taking mock tutorials, various sites are having data over internet, I used to prefer:  testpot

A word of caution as far as dumps are concerned, the dumps which are freely available on internet does not contains the actual question which are asked in exam so be careful. It contains much more standard scenarios. This was my personal experience; others may vary on my opinion.
