Scoring and Passing Marks
The Professional Scrum Master I certification requires a strong performance. To pass the official PSM I assessment, you need to score at least 85% correct answers. Our mock test uses the same scoring methodology, providing you with a clear indicator of your readiness. Each question carries equal weight, and there is no negative marking for incorrect answers. The score is calculated based on the total number of correct answers against the total number of questions.
Effective Preparation Tips
To maximize your chances of success on both our mock test and the actual PSM I exam, consider these preparation strategies:
- Read the Scrum Guide thoroughly: The Scrum Guide is the authoritative source for Scrum. Read it multiple times until you understand every nuance.
- Understand the underlying principles: Don't just memorize definitions; understand why Scrum works the way it does.
- Practice with mock exams: Taking practice tests like this one will help you identify areas of weakness and get comfortable with the question format and time constraints.
- Join a Scrum community: Engage with other Scrum practitioners. Discuss concepts, ask questions, and learn from their experiences.
- Review your incorrect answers: For every question you get wrong in a mock test, understand why the correct answer is correct and why your chosen answer was incorrect.
- Time Management: Practice completing the entire exam within the allotted time. The PSM I exam has 80 questions and a 60-minute time limit, which means you have less than a minute per question.
By following these guidelines and diligently preparing, you will significantly boost your confidence and readiness for the PSM I certification.
