I'm currently studying for both certifications now and would like to know if I need to do a deep dive into the Nexus Guide / Scaled Scrum stuff. Should I do the Nexus Opens? Anyone know?

No, it's not necessary, and you won't face questions about Nexus.

However, reading about Nexus may help you gain a better understanding of Scrum; particularly if you read something in Nexus that doesn't align with what you believe Scrum to be.

It could be a good opportunity to challenge your own assumptions and ask relevant questions on this forum (or elsewhere) that help you learn.

I agree 100% with Simon.

Not necessary but its good :)

Thanks; I intend to learn about it, but want to dedicate my energy to passing these certification tests first.
