The ISTQB Foundation Level exam was one of the tougher exams I’ve sat yet. The pass grade is 65% (at least 26 correct answers out of the 40 questions) and, at the time of writing, the global pass rate is just under 75% (1 in 4 fails). I spent three exhausting days at a professional training course for this plus an entire weekend studying and stressing out. It’s been a while since I’d done any exam and this is one of the few where I’ve walked in thinking there’s a possibility that I might fail.
The actual exam was even more difficult than I anticipated. I walked out wondering if I’d passed…

And I did — with an 80%! How tricky it was made it all the more satisfying. Brag-worthy, methinks! smile
