Question 1

What is the PSM I certification?

Accepted Answer

The Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) is a certification from Scrum.org that proves your understanding of the Scrum framework. It is considered demanding because it requires deep understanding rather than memorization — and it never expires.

Question 2

How does the real Scrum.org exam work?

Accepted Answer

The PSM I and PSPO I exams take place online on Scrum.org. You answer 80 questions (single choice, multiple choice, and true/false) in 60 minutes and need at least 85% correct answers to pass. You can take the exam from anywhere — there is no proctoring, but the time limit is strict.

Question 3

Is preparing with PrepForScrum enough to pass?

Accepted Answer

For most learners, yes — provided you take the simulations multiple times under real exam conditions and work through the explanation for every question. We also recommend reading the Scrum Guide 2020 thoroughly at least twice, as all exam questions are based on it.

Question 4

What is the Pass Guarantee?

Accepted Answer

Our Pass Guarantee means: if you pass our full exam simulation and still fail the real Scrum.org exam within 30 days of your purchase, we refund 100% of the purchase price. Simply send us a screenshot of your Scrum.org result as proof.

Question 5

How do I claim a refund?

Accepted Answer

Two options: within 14 days of purchase you get a full refund with no questions asked — a short email to our support is enough. After that, the Pass Guarantee applies: if you passed our full simulation but failed the real exam within 30 days of purchase, send us a screenshot of your Scrum.org result and we refund the full purchase price.

Question 6

How many questions and simulations are included?

Accepted Answer

Each certification includes 240 practice questions — enough for three full 80-question exam simulations, each weighted exactly like the real Scrum.org exam: one follows the classic exam blueprint, one remixes the focus areas into fresh combinations, and one leans into scenario-based questions. On top of that you can retake unlimited mixed simulations, practice single topics in study mode, and review every answer with its Scrum Guide explanation.

Question 7

How long do I have access to the content?

Accepted Answer

For life. You pay once and keep your access permanently — including all future updates to the question pool. There is no subscription and no hidden follow-up costs.

Question 8

Can I also practice on my phone or tablet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. PrepForScrum runs entirely in the browser and is optimized for mobile devices, so you can practice questions in study mode on the go. For the timed exam simulation, however, we recommend a laptop or desktop — just like the real exam.

Question 9

How up to date are the questions?

Accepted Answer

Our question pool is fully based on the current Scrum Guide (2020 version) and is continuously maintained. Feedback from learners who have just taken the exam flows directly into new and revised questions.

Question 10

What is the difference between PSM I and PSPO I?

Accepted Answer

PSM I is aimed at Scrum Masters and tests understanding of the Scrum framework and the Scrum Master role. PSPO I is aimed at Product Owners and focuses on value maximization, Product Backlog management, and working with stakeholders. Both exams comprise 80 questions in 60 minutes with an 85% passing score.

Question 11

Can I practice the questions without time pressure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In addition to the timed exam simulation, there is a study mode without a time limit where you see the detailed explanation immediately after each question. Ideal for getting started and for closing specific knowledge gaps.

Question 12

Is PrepForScrum an official Scrum.org offering?

Accepted Answer

No. PrepForScrum is an independent learning platform for exam preparation and is not affiliated with Scrum.org. You always take the certification exam itself directly at Scrum.org.
