📝 Professional Scrum Master 1 (PSM I) ambaena empirical guide to face the assessment.

Disclaimer: First to clarify that this is based on my own experience dealing with Scrum PSM-1 assessment. This is not the absolute truth.

Where i am ready?.

  • ❌ Reading or understanding the Scrum Guide is not enough.
  • ✅ Consistently pass the preparation exams you are using. I mean doing some in a row with score close to 100%.
  • ✅ Be able to perform at least 3-5 Scrum Opem Assessments in a row with 100%. In less than 6-8 mins each of them.

How to face the assessment.

  • Before the assessment:
    • 🤓 Read the official SCRUM Guide at least a couple of times more before facing the assessment.
    • 🤓 Read the cheatsheet (preferably your own cheatsheet) as well.
    • 🔍 Review questions that you have failed most recently in your practice assessments (public exams on the internet, Scrum Open Assessments).
    • 🏋🏻‍♂️ Do at least one Open Assessment to warm up/prepare you and your mind to what is to come.


  • During assessment:

    • 💻 Use a computer/laptop exclusively to take the exam. Only to answer the questions. Scrum does not allow you to copy the statement, so you will not be able to take advantage of this to look up a question in Google.

    • 📚 Prepare another computer for the support material, remember that the assessment is open book. You can use any resource you want to solve it. I recommend:

      • Have the Scrum Guide open. Ready in case you need it. (control + F)
      • Have your favorite cheatsheet open. (control + F)
      • In case you are not a native English speaker, have a dictionary open in your browser.
      • A window with Google to search in case of doubt the statement of the question in Google. For 90% of them you will find it on some website. Although the answers will not necessarily be correct, use what you find to support your own thinking. In case you have no idea, better to answer what you find on Google than nothing :)

    • 🏃🏻‍♂️ In the first loop do not waste too much time on any question, use the marker 🏷 to mark all the questions that you have answered with doubt.

    • 🕵🏻‍♂️ Spend the remaining time to review marked questions or even Google it.
