If you decided to earn a certificate at Scrum.org or just learn Scrum better, my quizzes should greatly help you:

When I decided to pass PSM I exam, I found no good free practice quizzes. The open assessments at Scrum.org are fine, but the number of available questions is too small. I decided to help all the Scrum learners by creating these free quizzes. You will learn the Scrum Guide by heart and get an idea of the real assessments.

There are two quiz modes:

  • Learning Mode – Each question has an immediate explanation. No time limit. All quiz questions are available. Pass it several times and you will be prepared well for the real assessment.
  • Real Mode – It is very similar to the real assessment. No correct answers and explanations. There are 80 randomly selected questions and 60 minutes. Try it and get the feeling of the real assessment!

All the quizzes based on the Scrum Guide v2017.

If you are looking for more questions or want to clarify some weird Scrum topic, take a look at Scrum Questions page.

Questions about the real exams and the quiz itself are answered at Quiz FAQ page.

Professional Scrum™, Professional Scrum Master, PSM, PSM I, Professional Scrum Product Owner, PSPO, PSPO I, Scrum Open, Scaled Professional Scrum, Nexus, Nexus Guide, etc. are the protected brands of Scrum.org.

    Hello This info is really helpful. I am planning to take PSM1 certification soon…. I am confuse …which open assessment to practice for PSM1. There are 4 different assessment on scrum.org. 1) Scrum open 2) nexus open 3)product owner open and 3) developer open.
    Some people advise to take all 4 but as per my knowledge in test it will come from The Scrum Guide but i don’t see any content related to nexus or developer open in scrum Guide then why we need to do that and in test really they ask out of scrum guide??

      The real PSM I exam contains some questions from the adjacent areas. So, expect several questions about Product Owner responsibilities, scaling Scrum, etc. So, it is reasonable to become proficient in every open assessment.

    Hi Mikhail, I am going to write PSPO 1 certification and for that i am reading scrum guide plus the i am undergoing PSM learning mode quiz. Could you please tell me if reading scrum org PDF file and giving PSM quiz is enough for preparing PSPO level 1 certification?

      Hi Jatin,

      Thanks for using my quiz. Unfortunately, the Scrum Guide contains only the most important Product Owner responsibilities. It does not give much details. However, PSPO I will ask you for this additional information.

      Luckily this extra amount of information is not big. I would recommend reading:
      The New New Product Owner article: http://www.scrumcrazy.com/The+New+New+Product+Owner
      Evidence-Based Management Guide brochure: https://s3.amazonaws.com/scrumorg-website-prod/drupal/2016-09/EBMgt_Guide_v3.pdf
      It should be enough to answer all the additional PSPO exam questions.
      Regards,
      –Mikhail

    Hi Surender,

    85% in my quiz is not enough. You tried it several times and know the questions. The real exam will contain some unknown ones. Probably a few of them you won’t be able to answer correctly. It will give a score below 85% and the exam will be failed.
    So, try to get a higher score in my quiz and do the same for the open assessments at Scrum.org

    Thanks,
    –Mikhail

    Hello Mikhail,

    Thanks for your respond. Please look at below query and advice me accordingly…

    1. Now I am getting 98% from every quiz ( Real Mode, Learning Mode, Scrum open Assessment). Let me know whether can i appear now for real exam. If not, then till how much % i need to get consistently for appearing the Exam.

    2. Please let me know whether following only Scrum Guide is enough to crack the PSM 1 Exam. if not, please help me to get other sources.

    3. I am little bit confused about Scrum Team and Development team. As per Scrum, Scrum team is consist of Product owner, Scrum Master and Development Team. Please help em to clear what is job of Scrum Team and Development team i..e. crafting the Goal for Sprint, who will Design DOD

    your advice only help me to get the Certification

    Regards
    Surender Jain

      Hi Surender,

      1. It looks like you are well prepared now.

      2. It is enough. I would recommend two things:
      * My quiz does not contain questions about Scrum Values. This paragraph appeared recently in the Scrum Guide. Fortunately, it is very small. Probably I will add a couple of questions on it later.
      * Read more about Product Owner responsibilities like this one: http://www.scrumcrazy.com/The+New+New+Product+Owner

      3. It is easy enough. The Development Team creates the increment. It is self-organizing and cross-functional to do the work in the best way. Also it defines an appropriate DoD for it.
      You are rigth, the Scrum Team is PO + SM + DT. In the questions the Scrum Team is mostly mentioned regarding the Scrum Events. The whole ST participates in all Scrum Events except the Daily Scrum.

      Thanks,
      –Mikhail

    Dear Mikhail,

    I am currently preparing for the PSPO assessment and I have a doubt about a statement I read in the Scrum Guide. The statement reads as follows:

    “By the end of the Sprint Planning, the Development Team should be able to explain to the
    Product Owner and Scrum Master how it intends to work as a self-organizing team to
    accomplish the Sprint Goal and create the anticipated Increment.”

    I have two questions/doubts regarding the above statement:

    1.This is very broad and I would like to know what it implies.
    2. Is it likely that there are questions regarding the means that the Development team uses to achieve self-organization or to the level of detail they should provide to the Product Owner during the Sprint planning?

    Many thanks!

    Ellie

    Hi Ellie,

    Thanks for using my quiz and for the questions.

    During the Sprint Planning meeting the Development Team answers two questions:
    * What can be done this Sprint?
    * How will the chosen work get done?
    At first, the DT selects several items to implement from the Product Backlog. Then the team creates a plan how they will implement the selected items. The plan should be detailed enough for the first several days of the Sprint.

    So, “able to explain” means the DT has a plan how to implements the selected items. It includes the means that the DT will use to achieve this.

    I hope it answers your questions.
    –Mikhail
