The ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (Syllabus 2011, GB only) exam includes 40 questions to be completed within 60 (+25% = 75 for non-native English speakers). Do the pacing math before exam day: with that many items on the clock, you need a steady rhythm and the discipline to flag a hard question and move on instead of stalling. Two or three full timed sessions with the ActualCollection test engine will show you exactly what that pace feels like, so time pressure stops being a factor on the real day.
To pass the ISQI ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (Syllabus 2011, GB only) exam you need 65% (26 out of 40 questions), and the official registration fee is £180–£220 / $220–$260 USD (varies by provider, includes VAT/proctoring). A retake is not discounted: a failed attempt means paying the full £180–£220 / $220–$260 USD (varies by provider, includes VAT/proctoring) again, so treat your first sitting as the expensive one. A sensible rule is to book your seat only after you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on the ActualCollection practice tests, not just squeaking past it once.
