What this mock covers
This paper draws 50 questions from 3 chapters of the ISTQB CTAL-TM v3.0 syllabus. The split below is read from the questions bound to this mock, so it is the paper you will actually sit rather than a target.
| Chapter | Questions | Share | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chapter 1 · Managing the Test Activities | 26 | 52% | 46 |
| Chapter 2 · Managing the Product | 15 | 30% | 27 |
| Chapter 3 · Managing the Team | 9 | 18% | 15 |
Scoring is weighted: 50 questions are worth 88 points, because a question at a higher cognitive level counts for more. Revise the heavier chapters first.
Cognitive levels in this mock
Each of the 50 questions is mapped to a syllabus cognitive level - K1 recall, K2 comprehension, K3 application, K4 analysis. A paper heavy on K3 asks you to apply a technique, not to name it.
- K2 - Understand26 (52%)
- K3 - Apply10 (20%)
- K4 - Analyse14 (28%)
Practise one chapter at a time
If this mock exposes a weak chapter, drill that chapter on its own before sitting another full paper.
