Who is it set by?
The Test is set by the Scrum Alliance, ensuring standards are consistent all over the world.

Where do I take the test?
The test is ONLINE you should aim to have a very stable connection to the internet.

What type of exam are we talking about?
It is multiple choice – there are 4 choices but only ONE correct choice.

How many questions are there and what’s the pass rate?
There are 50 questions for everyone.  The pass rate is 37 correct out of 50.

Are any questions scenario based?
Yes, but there is a mixture of questions. If you have the Scrum Guide printed and with added notes, you will be fine.

Will everyone get the same questions?
No. There is a pool of 150 questions, but all aspects of the course are covered in every CSM Test.

Is there a time limit?
YES!  The time box is 60 minutes – so 50 questions in 60 minutes!

Will the test be moderated?
NO.  The test is OPEN BOOK.  But remember you only have 60 minutes for those 50 questions, if you look up everything in detail you will run out of time.

Is there going to be negative marking?
No.

Can I bookmark questions so I can come back to them later?
Yes.  You can move back and forward through the test until you finally hit SUBMIT or run out of time.  But answer every single question, even the ones you bookmark, before moving on.

NO.  To protect the integrity of the Test, the Scrum Alliance will tell you which questions you did not answer correctly but you will not get the correct answer. 

What happens if I don’t pass – maybe because I run out of time?
You have TWO CHANCES to pass,  if re-taking...,  do it AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
