  • Scored on the server: the answer key never reaches your device. Pass mark 70%, With distinction from 90%.

Sample questions

Questions from the practice test.

From the practice pool, with the answers shown. The exam asks its own set of 40.

  1. The Myths Humans Bring

    1. What is a key reason direct eye contact can be difficult for some dogs during tense situations?

    • It can create social pressure Correct answer
    • It improves relaxation automatically
    • It prevents stress signals
    • It always signals playfulness

    Why: Direct eye contact can increase social pressure for many dogs, especially when tension is already present.

  2. High-Stakes Warnings

    2. Resource guarding is evidence that a dog has an alpha or dominant personality type.

    • True
    • False Correct answer

    Why: False. Resource guarding describes protection of access to a valued resource, not a personality label.

  3. Communication Repair System

    3. Why collect observations for 2 weeks before drawing major conclusions?

    • To avoid tracking triggers
    • To eliminate all uncertainty
    • To separate unusual days from recurring patterns Correct answer
    • To focus only on dramatic events

    Why: A longer observation period helps reveal patterns instead of overreacting to isolated events.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is this a dog behaviorist certification?

No. It confirms that you passed Astra's level 1 exam on dog body language. It is not a behaviorist or veterinary credential.

How is this different from a dog body language course with a certificate?

A course certificate says you finished the lessons. This one says you passed an exam on reading dogs: 40 questions, 70% to pass.

Is the dog body language quiz a personality quiz?

No. It does not tell you what kind of dog you have. The 10 questions check what you know about dog signals, with the answers, free and with no sign-up.

Do I have to take a course first?

No. The exam is a separate purchase. The courses help you prepare, and you can pass the exam without them.

Is this an official qualification or a licence?

No. An Astra certificate confirms that you passed an Astra exam. It is not accredited, not a state document, not a licence and not a right to practise.

Who watches me during the exam?

Nobody. Level 1 is an unsupervised exam: no webcam and no proctor. The server keeps the answer key, times every question and flags patterns that look like outside help for review. A certificate earned that way can be revoked.

What if I don't pass?

Your purchase includes 2 attempts. The second opens 24 hours after the first and uses a new set of questions. After that you can buy another attempt, up to 3 attempts in any rolling 30-day period.

How long is the certificate valid?

1 year from the day it is issued. To renew it, take a 15-question renewal test: free with a subscription, at the price of an extra attempt without one.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. You get a full refund within 14 days of purchase, as long as you have not started the exam.

Which languages is the certificate in?

Any of 8: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Russian. You get a PDF and an image for social media.

Is my score printed on the certificate?

No. The certificate says Passed, or With distinction from 90%. Your exact score and your results by topic are on the result screen.

I have a subscription. Do I pay for the exam?

No. Level 1 exams in every direction are included in any active plan.

Can I buy it in my country?

Everywhere except the European Union for now. We plan to open the EU later. The practice test is free in every country.
