Prepare for the Professional Scrum Master I (PSM1) certification with AI-generated practice questions based on the Scrum Guide. Our mock exams cover Scrum roles, events, artifacts, and values — with detailed explanations for every answer so you understand the intent behind each rule of Scrum.
The Professional Scrum Master I (PSM1), offered by Scrum.org, is a globally recognized certification that validates your understanding of the Scrum framework. It is one of the most sought-after entry-level agile certifications for developers, project managers, and coaches transitioning to agile ways of working.
The PSM1 exam consists of 80 questions answered in 60 minutes. The pass score is 85% (68 correct out of 80). Questions mix multiple-choice, multiple-answer, and true/false formats — testing understanding and application of the Scrum Guide, not memorization.
There are no prerequisites. The exam is taken online through Scrum.org and can be retaken after a 14-day waiting period.
Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Developers — their accountabilities, interactions, and why the Scrum Master is a servant-leader, not a project manager.
Sprint, Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective — their purpose, time-boxes, and common misconceptions tested on the exam.
Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, Increment, and their commitments. The five Scrum values: commitment, focus, openness, respect, courage.

Exam: 80 questions in 60 minutes. Pass score: 85%. Multiple-choice and multiple-answer formats.
Prerequisite: None. No required training — study the Scrum Guide and pass the exam.
Value: Widely respected in technical communities. Higher pass threshold makes it more credible to hiring managers who know the difference.
For: Professionals whose organisation or employer specifically asks for a Scrum Alliance credential, or who prefer instructor-led learning.
Exam: 50 questions, 60 minutes. Pass score: 74%. Taken after a mandatory 2-day certified course.
Prerequisite: Must attend a CSM course through a Certified Scrum Trainer.

Bottom line: PSM I costs less, requires no course, and is generally considered more rigorous. CSM suits you if your team is Scrum Alliance–aligned or if you want a structured learning experience. Our practice tests are relevant for both. Also consider: SAFe Agilist mock exam if you work in scaled agile environments, and PMP practice questions if you manage projects beyond Scrum teams.
