Prepare for the Assessment

The assessment is difficult; preparation is required to achieve a passing score. Reading the Scrum Guide and taking the Open Assessments alone isn’t typically enough preparation and we recommend reviewing the content below:

• The assessment covers topics from multiple Focus Areas defined by the Professional Scrum Competencies.
• Many questions ask you to think about or interpret the meaning from the Scrum Guide and how you would apply Scrum within a Scrum Team.
• The PSM I Suggested Reading lists the Focus Areas from which questions may be selected during the assessment. 
• The Scrum Master Learning Path contains many additional resources to help you prepare to take the PSM I Assessment.
