All questions were objective.Click for Details
How to Prepare
You can easily find the booklet of Istqb Foundation Level, buy or borrow it from your friends. Read it once, remember there are some terms which has different names that we studied during Manual Testing. When You are done with the book start solving Istqb dumbs which you easily find from Internet. As per my view Istqb repeats Questions and one more thing some answers were wrong in dumbs, so believe on your knowledge. Istqb dumbs is the first *key to crack.Dumbs link 1 Dumbs link 2
If you want dumbs which I solved thn please mention your mail ID's in comment box.
*Key 2 :- Remember while giving Istqb exam
When I appeared for Istqb exam, our batch was divided in groups.The mentor present in my room told us about the key 2 but the different member doesnt, so make sure u know this key.There is a hint for each question which will be given at the right bottom of each question with a "?" symbol. You have to click on that, than only it will show you hint. If u don't find "Hint" pls ask ur mentor before appearing. The content given in hint gives u a clear idea about the answer, so use your mind sharply.
