It seems that scrum.org has pulled off scrum practitioner open assessments from its site and put Nexus open assessment in place. Would that mean that new test takers will miss opportunity to experience real test like questions as questions under practitioner open were harder?

Nexus open assessment contains similar (same) questions as Scrum practitioner open assessment. Even within the nexus assessment page it shows "Scrum practitioner open assessment".

Hi Soumya,
Yes, I too have noticed that some questions in nexus assessment were same as what I had seen in Practitioner ones but I think that it is not same set and so new test takers may be missing something valuable.

Where do you see 'Scrum practitioner open assessment' under nexus assessment? I just did one assessment but did not notice.

I did the Nexus test this morning. Approx. 8-10 of the questions were about nexus.

That wasn't the case for the practitioner test a few days ago...

A few of the questions were also used in the old pratitioner test. But only a few.

Nexus Open = Practitioner Open (old) + Nexus

And sooner than later it might be (as Nexus gets matured):

SPS Open = Nexus Open++

Just to clarify, my original posting was to state that new test takers will miss a good question bank which reflected what the actual assessment is going to be.
Not sure what the objective of scrum.org was in removing practitioner assessment as Nexus assessment is separate from PSM as I understand.

>> >> #1. Nope. They will not miss any thing as all those questions would be covered in nexus Open. #2. PSM = Single Team Scrum; SPS (Nexus) = Scaled (Multiple Teams) Scrum
