I passed Foundation. I ma now moving onto studying for Intermediate. There is 1 (just 1) sample paper & a book.

I still get confused as to terminology.

Test Scenario, Test Condition, Test Case, Test script (manual), Test script automated.

Do you know of website with an example? (proper Example)

I’m sure I’ve also seen “Test Asset” (maybe I was seeing things)

I would read the syllabus. All the exams focus on the syllabus so everything needs to have coverage in there.

I just wanted to add that I also used the exam simulation software by Dr. John Estrella titled Sample Exam Questions: ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (<a href="http://sampleexamquestions.com" rel="nofollow">http://sampleexamquestions.com/</a>). With your tips and the software combined I aced my exam. Thank you for all the help. Lee <hr/> <em>Glad you found this useful. Thanks for the comment, Alan.</em> Hi,
