PSM 1 Certification exam format

Hi Vivek,

I passed my exam this monday, and I'm sure there weren't multiple choice questions without it, how many answers you need to pick. The number of the correct answers always was included in the question.

Greetings,
Peter

Thanks for the quick reply Peter.
Congrats on passing the exam. Do you recommend any last-minute tips or preparation prior to take the exam?

Cheers,
Vivek

Last-minute tips? ... good understanding of the Scrum Guide, solving of the well known four sample exams (Mikhail Lapshin and Management Plaza) and you're ready to go. All I did, I printed the tricky questions from the samples and had them in front of me during the exam.

Greetings,
Peter

Thanks for the helpful advice, Peter. Did the tricky questions from the sample exams appear on the actual PSM I?

Hi Betty,

yes a few of them (or very similar) did appear on the exam, although without answering them correctly you still have a good chance to pass the PSM I.

Greetings,
Peter

Thanks, I will do my first try tomorrow.. Is there a lot of questions related to Scaled Scrum (Nexus) ?

Hi Benoit,

no I had maybe 2 or 3 questions related to Scaled Scrum. If you know, what Scrum of Scrums is, how the multiple teams handling the Product- and Sprint Backlogs, then you know enough about scaling the Scrum. Questions directly related to Nexus weren't at all... at least in my case. Well it won't hurt you, if you have some knowledge about Nexus, so just read the Nexus Guide once, but you can pass the PSM I without it too.

Greetings,
Peter

I experienced more questions about scaled scrum. Mostly about issues in or between dev teams and how to handle them (and the scrum master role in this). I haven't seen those topics in the guide so I'm quite sure I missed those. Still looking for more information about this before I schedule the exam again. Just need a small extra step after a fail with 85,3%

Oops, 83,5 of course in stead of 85,3 (withfull thinking)

some questions or choices may have two parts - one correct and the other incorrect. Example: Scrum Master facilitates (correct) by taking decision on team's behalf(incorrect).
