ISO 31000 Practice Test

The ISO 31000 Practice Test is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests knowledge of ISO 31000:2018 Risk management — Guidelines — its principles and key concepts, the risk management framework, the risk management process from scope, context and criteria through risk identification, analysis and evaluation, and risk treatment, monitoring, review, recording and reporting — written to ISO 31000:2018 and the risk assessment techniques in IEC 31010:2019 for 2026. ISO 31000 is a guidance standard, so organisations cannot be certified to it; individuals can hold training certificates in it. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable ISO 31000 Readiness certificate (SOA-ISO3). Every question is based on published standards and research — including ISO 31000 Risk management (ISO), IEC 31010:2019 Risk management: risk assessment techniques (IEC / ISO) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: ISO 31000 Risk management (ISO); IEC 31010:2019 Risk management: risk assessment techniques (IEC / ISO). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Four skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Principles and Key Concepts (Definition of risk, The eight principles and Value creation); The Risk Management Framework (Leadership and commitment, Integration and design and Evaluation and improvement); Risk Assessment (Scope, context and criteria, Identification and analysis and Evaluation and techniques); Risk Treatment, Monitoring and Reporting (Treatment options, Treatment plans and Monitoring, recording and reporting). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

Risk manager or risk analyst, Enterprise risk management (ERM) lead, Internal auditor, Project or programme manager and Compliance or governance professional. It suits anyone who wants a quick, verifiable way to show ISO 31000 knowledge in 2026 and 2027, from students and career switchers to experienced professionals.

No. ISO 31000:2018 gives guidelines, not requirements, so it is not a certifiable management system standard. Organisations use it to design and improve their risk management, and individuals can take training courses and certificates in applying it.

ISO 31000 defines risk as the "effect of uncertainty on objectives". An effect is a deviation from the expected and can be positive, negative or both, so risk management covers opportunities as well as threats.

No. It is an independent practice test written to the publicly available ISO 31000 content outline for 2026 and 2027, for checking your readiness before you book the real exam. Passing earns a Science of Apps certificate rather than the official credential.

On our server, not in your browser. The answers never reach the page until you submit, so a certificate can only be earned by passing. Each certificate gets a unique credential ID stored by Science of Apps.

You see your score for each area and every question with the correct answer and why, with the published source behind it. You can retake after 30 minutes, and the retake draws questions you haven't seen yet.

No. Every certificate is dated, so it always shows when you passed. Retake a test any time for a newer date or a higher score.

Yes. After you pass, Add to LinkedIn opens the Licenses & certifications form with the certificate name, Science of Apps as the issuer, the issue date, your credential ID and the verification link filled in. You can also download it as a PDF or PNG, and it's emailed to you as a PDF.

Every certificate has a credential ID and a QR code. Scanning it, or entering the ID at scienceofapps.com/certification/verify/, shows the holder's name, the certification, the score and the issue date from our records.

No. They are Science of Apps' own assessments of applied skill. They aren't issued by a university or standards body, and they work best alongside a portfolio that shows the skills in real work.
