The CT-AI exam is the official assessment for the ISTQB Certified Tester AI Testing certification offered by ISTQB. It checks whether you can apply the knowledge areas in the exam objectives to practical situations, and passing it earns a credential that employers across the industry recognize. For professionals who feel stuck in their current role, it is often the most concrete next step available.

Must hold ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) certification

The official outline for the CT-AI exam highlights these domains:

• Testing Generative AI and Large Language Models (15%)
• Test Levels and Machine Learning Systems (15%)
• Machine Learning Development Testing (10%)

Weighting your study time toward the heavier domains first is a sensible strategy, and the ISTQB Certified Tester AI Testing practice questions at NewPassLeader follow the same objective structure.

ISTQB recommends the following training resources for CT-AI exam candidates:

• ISTQB Accredited Training Providers
• CT-AI Syllabus v2.0

Pairing official courses with timed practice sessions tends to work well, since one builds knowledge and the other builds exam-day rhythm.

The CT-AI exam gives you 60 (75 for non-native language) minutes to answer 40 questions. That pace leaves little room for hesitation, which is why rehearsing under a timer — for example with the online test engine at NewPassLeader, where you can set the session length just like the real test — is such a useful habit.

The online test engine is exclusive to NewPassLeader and runs on any electronic device — phone, tablet, or computer — with no installation barriers. It recreates the atmosphere of the real CT-AI exam: you set the test time the way it will be on exam day, work through the ISTQB Certified Tester AI Testing practice questions under that pressure, and at the end the engine marks the questions you got wrong and reminds you to practice them again next time. Over a few sessions, that loop turns weak areas into reliable ones.

To pass the CT-AI exam you need a score of 65% (29/44 points for v2.0; 31/47 points for v1.0), and the registration fee is €180 - €250 (varies by region and provider). Since each attempt costs the full fee, arriving over-prepared is cheaper than arriving under-prepared — timed mock sessions and repeated review of missed questions are the usual ways candidates close that gap.
