I see that there is an option of remote proctored exam from ITB for foundation level.I am going to take the exam from Sweden.
Is it allowed and is it considered valid in Sweden! Or should I have to take the exams from Swedish Testing board only?!
ISTQB Guru says
You can take exam from any exam board, iSQI, BCS, GASQ or Indian Board. ISTQB Exam taken from any board is valid worldwide. One thing to consider is that Indian Testing Board send the hard copy of the certificate to your Indian Address. Since you are in Sweden, you may want to consider this fact.
Rama says
Hi I am planing to take istqb foundation level exam,if I am not clear first time do I need to pay for the agin and take exam
ISTQB Guru says
Yes, most likely you will have to pay for the 2nd or later attempts. There are some exam providers such as iSQI which allows 2-TRY. The fees is higher than the usual fees for single attempt. And you will have to buy the 2-TRY option upfront (before the 1st attempt).
Which exam board/country you are planning to take the exam from? You can use our study materials and pass in the first attempt. 🙂
