Practice on the exact screen you’ll see on exam day.
simul8R recreates the Pearson VUE, Kryterion and iSQI exam screens, so your practice runs feel like the real thing: the same timer, buttons, review screen and end-of-exam steps. Then it shows you exactly what to study.
Pick the screen you’ll test on. Switch any time.
Each layout follows that provider’s official candidate tutorial, from the start screen to the score report. Try all of them before you book.
Used by Brightest, GASQ and iSQI test centers and online with OnVUE.

Chapter quizzes and random exams
Drill one chapter at a time, or take a fresh random 40-question exam drawn from the whole bank.
Check-in practice
Rehearse the online-proctoring check-in: photos of you, your ID and your room, the rules and the proctor’s approval. Turn it off once you know it.

Frequently asked questions
Are these the real ISTQB exam questions?
No. Every question is original and written to the CTFL v4.0 syllabus learning objectives. Real exam questions are confidential; anyone who claims to sell them is breaking the exam rules. simul8R is independent and isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by ISTQB or any exam provider.
Which exam screen should I choose?
The one your exam provider uses. ASTQB/AT*SQA exams run on Kryterion Webassessor; Brightest, GASQ and iSQI test centers use Pearson VUE; iSQI’s own remote exams use iSQI FLEX. Not sure yet? Try them all; you can switch before every exam.
How close are the screens to the real thing?
Each one follows the provider’s public candidate tutorial or guide: the layout, buttons, review screen and end-of-exam steps. Exam owners can configure their screens, so small details may differ on the day. The screens never use the providers’ logos.
What do I get for free?
A free practice exam: a complete 40-question exam on any of the four screens, with full results and explanations. You can retake it as often as you like.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any time from your account page. Your pass stays active until the end of the period you’ve paid for, and you won’t be charged again.
Does this replace a course?
Practice exams show you where you stand; a course teaches the material. Many students do both. xSTELLAR8’s live classes include new simul8R practice exams.
