ISTQB Specialist (CT-STE v1.0.1) Mock Exam #2

A full-length ISTQB Certified Tester Security Test Engineer (CT-STE v1.0.1) mock exam: 40 questions, 75 minutes, 28 of 43 points (65%) to pass. The chapter split reproduces the official ISTQB Exam Structure Table exactly — 6 / 7 / 5 / 4 / 4 / 4 / 4 / 3 / 3 across the nine syllabus chapters, with 24 questions at K2, 13 at K3 and 3 at K4. The three K4 items carry 2 points each: two attack-scenario analyses (passive reconnaissance via search engines and social profiles, and an opportunistic scanner-driven attacker) and one analysis of the move from a sequential lifecycle to DevOps with continuous deployment. This second mock leans towards attacker profiling, security testing inside a continuous deployment pipeline, CWSS versus CVSS prioritisation, and using standards and OWASP practices as test oracles where requirements are silent. Scenarios come from telecom, aviation, energy grid, tax administration, HR SaaS, video streaming and networked office devices. Every answer option — correct and incorrect — carries a written rationale, and two questions include a data diagram.
