How to get disscount for 2nd attend the PSM I

Hello, Can anyone help on this question ?

Thanks a lot.

I have never heard of any discount for PSMI exam. Where have you learnt about that?

Hi Illya,

I remember that i have ever read in this forum but i dont remember exactly which topic.

In addtion, i'd like to know how many question in the pool and how many question (or percentage) that can i meet again in the 2nd attend ?

Thanks.

The discount is only if an error occurred while doing the exam (the website went down, your computer crashed etc). Nobody knows the number of question in the pool of exam questions, and I don't believe Scrum.org will give this information. Finally, the percentage to pass the exam the second time is still like the first time; 85% (68 questions from 80)

Exam is no easier the second time around the pool is different and question sets are random.
Discount can be awarded at discretion by scrum.org on an individual case basis I think.
Its not guaranteed, if you are awared it is 10% off the resit exam.
Playing the numbers game on what may be in the exam second time or how big the pool is isnt what scrum is all about.
This is the difference between knowing scrum and understanding scrum.

Hi,

If somehow my internet connection goes down or i get disconnected . Will i be able to resume the exam again using same password ? or i will have to buy another one ?

Hello Vipul,

If your internet connection goes down and disconnects you from the assessment platform, you can resume the assessment by following the instructions here:

The support people are very professional when I sent a nasty gram about the exam I just failed myself. I got an 82.5% I was very upset.  I've taken at least  200 certification exams and never seen a requirement of  85% for certification. I felt this whole thing is a money grab at the time. You only get a second shot if you pay for the $1400 class. I think they should reduce the passing to 80% and make the exam $100 or give you an automatic second shot if you take the retake exam within 48 hrs.  In these desperate times It hard to spend the money on an exam. 

Thank you for your feedback @Bernie.  The cost of the exam and certification requirement has been the same since 2009 and the 85% mark is part of why it is so credible in the industry as it is difficult, but quite achievable as we have approximately an 80% passing rate on the tests.  If we were to provide instant free retakes, it would ruin some of the credibility as it wouldn't require study and knowledge as much as taking the test to learn the questions and then taking it again, etc.

I hope this helps.

Almost Done is not Done.

I got 84% for my first attempt to PSD I.  Of course, I failed.

If they reduce the passing to 80%, there might be people who get 79% feel upset.

I agree with the suggestion that the second test can provide discounts.

But it should be restricted to retake the exam after at least two weeks.
