After practicing with Scrumdemy exams CSM Practice Exams, the final step in becoming a Certified Scrum Master is to pass an exam.

The exam is taken online. You do not need to go to a testing facility.

When Can I Take the Exam?

You will not take the test during the two-day course. Rather, you can take the test any time after the course.

We will submit your name to the Scrum Alliance, which is the certifying organization. Normally within a day of completing the course, you will receive an email from the Scrum Alliance.

That email will include a link to create your login credentials on the Scrum Alliance website. After doing that, you can take the online exam.

What Is the Exam Like?

The exam has 50 questions. You will have one hour to complete the exam. The passing score is 74% or 37 correct answers.

There are currently four versions of the exam so the exam you see may differ from those others receive but all are targeted to have questions of the same difficulty. Please note the Scrum Alliance has not updated the exam yet to cover changes made in the 2020 Scrum Guide.

Everything you need to know to pass the exam is to practice with our Scrumdemy tests and read the Scrum Guide.

Is There a Time Limit?

There is a one-hour time limit on taking the exam. You must complete the exam within 90 days of taking your Certified Scrum Master course. If you accidentally close the window, you can reopen it immediately. If you lose internet connection or lose access to the test for an extended period of time, then you may need to reach out to support@scrumalliance.org to have a new test set up.

Do I See My Results Immediately?

Yes, immediately after submitting your answers, you will be told if you passed. Additionally, you will have the ability to see which questions you answered incorrectly (but not the correct answer).

What Happens If I Don’t Pass?

If you don’t pass the exam on the first attempt, don’t worry: you can take the exam a second time at no charge.

If you don’t pass the second time, you can attempt the exam again. However, the Scrum Alliance does charge $25 per attempt for third and subsequent attempts.

Participants in our courses have a 98% first-time pass rate. You’re going to do fine on the exam.

Can I See a Practice Exam?

The Scrum Alliance does not provide a practice exam, and you shouldn’t need one.
