The board has finally agreed to release the external reliability reports for the foundation exam. This long struggle drained me but seeing the truth come to light makes the exhaustion feel worthwhile. Stay alert to ensure they remain transparent now that the door is open.

The grind is heavy and the silence from the board is exhausting. We are near one hundred signatures and I need you to push this link to anyone else who has felt the frustration of these exams.

My scenario is Ditto as Dinesh. I gave the exam in Bangalore India twice. Both the times got same score. Second time the questions were really easy and i was sure to get at least 35 right but my score was again 24/40. How is that possible that both the times I get same score. And there is no transparency on the answers and the answers in the Dorothy Graham or the only sample paper on their website also seemed incorrect. They are definitely running a SCAM!!!
I am an instructional designer and based upon the description of this petition, I am skeptical of the quality for this certification path. I support transparency in order to improve. Why not allow us to test the ISTQB? That's bad testing, ISTQB...
Took the exam unfortunately and got very suspicious afterwards. How does this verify or prove that I am getting better at testing, or that someone who hires me is getting a tester who is better that someone else who has spent years testing a variety of different applications in different companies but who doesn't have ISTQB? Sounds like profiteering to me.
I've tried to pass an ISTQB FL exam 2 months ago in Sofia/Bulgaria. The questions were not very close to the syllabus and it is almost impossible to pass the exam without participated their course which is very expensive. Also I'm not able to see my results after that and I cannot check where I was wrong. My scored was 24/40. 26 is minumun to pass the exam but how can I be sure if this is the real result which I have? This certificate is a business, not a measure of how good you are. I can continue to work without this fake paper and I'm sure that I'm better than 50% of people who have this certificate.
The exam was a "Waterfall of confusion" and it's killing the Agile tester creativity in every tester. The "Do it and forgot it" way can't be a constructive goal in a tester carrier. ISTQB is the one ANTI-AGILE testing method that you can find. Best Regards Zeno

I tried to pass an ISTQB FL exam from Bangalore/India. Almost all the questions had one destruction and one correct answer. And two can be eliminated without any problems. I anticipate almost all my answers are correct. Under any worst case I was sure of getting 29 answers correct. My score was 24/40. I couldn't understand what went wrong. We did this test in a group from the company and I was certainly had more decent knowledge from others. The guys who didn't prepare at all got 31 answers correct. My Question, how can I be sure if this is the real result which I have? This certificate is a business as someone said in this group. I'm sure that I'm better than most group of peoples who more 80% in ISTQB.
