Hi,

 

I read already a lot of topics like "how to pass PSM I with X%" or "how i passed the examination PSM I" but i can not assess how extensive the exam is. Im not a native english speaker but learnd already a lot about Scrum by myself. My problem is that I can not really judge from when I should dare to the exam and to what extent the exam differs from the Open Assesments.

Here are some Informations about my english skill and my way to learn:

My english skill is not perfect (because i still do a lot off misstakes) but good enough to communicate with other people. I started to learn Scrum with some youtube videos and the guide (maybe 5 times) in my language and in english (6-7 times). The "Open Assesment" for PSM I and PSPO I is easy and i pass it all the time with 100%... But there are all the time the same questions and so its not really a high performance. At the moment i learn wih the Mikhail Lapshin Test and a have normally a high score.

 

thanks

I am not a native speaker of English either. I improve my answer speed through a lot of reading. I would particularly like to recommend the book "Scrum:A Pocket guide" by Gunther Verheyen.

This book must be read in addition to the scrum Guide. And like you read Scrum Guide, it's better to look over and over again. Perhaps other books can give you a lot of knowledge and practical advice, but this book will strengthen your core knowledge of scrum.

If you look at what I am replying to, you should know that my English is poor.

The Scrum Glossary may come handy.
