How the exam works.

  • Questions come from the course material and from a question bank written and reviewed separately.
  • Your own set of 40 questions, with the options shuffled for every attempt.
  • Up to 90 seconds a question, 45 minutes in total.
  • Scored on the server: the answer key never reaches your device. Pass mark 70%, With distinction from 90%.
  • Unsupervised: no webcam and no proctor. The server times every answer, and a certificate earned with outside help can be revoked.
  • After the exam you see your result by topic.

Sample questions

Questions from the practice test.

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

  1. Living Trusts and Testamentary Transfers

    1. Which of these does the course say generally follow from placing a house in a properly funded living trust, rather than leaving it only in a will? (choose 2–3)

    Choose all that apply.

    • Greater privacy about what the person owned Correct answer
    • Continuity of title without court delay Correct answer
    • Automatic transfer of trusteeship to the state
    • Guaranteed elimination of all inheritance taxes
    • Avoiding the public probate process Correct answer

    Why: The course credits living trusts with avoiding probate, more privacy, and continuity of title — it never promises tax elimination or state takeover of trusteeship.

  2. Trust Types

    2. Someone moves their savings into a revocable trust hoping to shield them from future creditors. Which limit of a revocable trust does the course point to?

    • A revocable trust is not legally allowed to hold any cash or savings
    • A revocable trust hands legal title over directly to the creditors involved
    • A revocable trust automatically becomes irrevocable once a creditor appears
    • The settlor can still revoke it, so the assets remain treated as their own Correct answer

    Why: The power to revoke is the weak spot: what the settlor can take back at will is generally still treated as theirs, so a revocable trust gives little asset protection. That trade-off is what irrevocable trusts address.

  3. Basic Trust Concepts

    3. In the vocabulary the course teaches, what is the "trust res" (or corpus)?

    • The property placed into the trust Correct answer
    • The court that would hear a trust dispute
    • The person managing the trust
    • The document that creates the trust

    Why: Res / corpus names the property itself — what actually sits inside the trust, as opposed to the people or paperwork around it.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is this a certification of trust document?

No. A certification of trust is a legal form for banks and title companies. This is a knowledge certificate: proof that you passed Astra's level 1 exam on trusts and estates.

Does it qualify me to set up trusts for clients?

No. It is not legal advice and not a license to draft trusts for others. It shows what you know about how trusts work, with a number and a public verification page.

How is this different from a trusts and estates course with a certificate?

A course certificate says you finished the lessons. This one says you passed an exam on trust law and estates: 40 questions, 70% to pass.

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.
