Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the iSAQB CPSA-F certification?
The Certified Professional for Software Architecture — Foundation Level (CPSA-F) is the entry-level certification from iSAQB, the International Software Architecture Qualification Board. It validates your understanding of software architecture fundamentals, design principles, documentation, quality evaluation, and communication techniques. It is widely recognized in Europe, especially in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland).
What is the exam format and passing score?
The real exam consists of approximately 40 multiple-choice questions to be completed in 75 minutes (90 minutes for non-native English speakers). The passing score is 60%. Questions come in three types: A-type (single correct answer), P-type (multiple correct answers with partial credit/deduction scoring), and K-type (true/false classification matrix).
How are the practice tests structured?
This course includes 6 comprehensive practice tests with 1,400+ questions total (230+ per test). The tests are arranged in increasing complexity — start with foundational concepts and progressively work toward exam-level difficulty. Every single option in every question comes with a detailed explanation of why it is correct or incorrect, so you learn the reasoning, not just the answers.
What curriculum version do these tests cover?
All questions are aligned with the iSAQB Foundation Level curriculum v2026.3. The question weighting across the five curriculum chapters is based on the publicly available iSAQB curriculum learning goals. The course is updated whenever the curriculum changes.
Do I need prior training before taking the exam?
iSAQB requires at least 18 months of practical software development experience to sit for the CPSA-F exam. While attending an accredited training course is not mandatory, it is recommended. These practice tests are designed to complement your study — whether self-study or instructor-led — by helping you identify knowledge gaps and build exam confidence.
Is this an official iSAQB product?
No. This is an independent, unofficial practice test created by Mikhail Shcherbakov. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by iSAQB GmbH. The practice questions are original works aligned with the publicly available curriculum. For official information about the CPSA-F certification, visit isaqb.org.
