TheScrumMaster.co.uk’s Ultimate Scrum I (US I) Assessment is a 60-minute timeboxed assessment. You need to score over 85% to pass and gain the US I certification. The assessment contains 80 questions in English of multiple choice type.
The assessment is similar in nature and difficulty to the Scrum.org Professional Scrum Master (PSM I) assessment.
Further details on what to expect from the assessment can be found on the Ultimate Scrum I (US I) Assessment page.
Here are some tips on taking and passing the TheScrumMaster.co.uk Ultimate Scrum I (US I) Assessment and gaining certification:
- Take our free Ultimate Scrum eLearning Course to learn the fundamentals & our Ultimate Scrum Master eLearning Course to learn more about the Scrum Master. These cover all the content that will be tested in the assessment.
- Download our Scrum 1 Pager. It’s great for reference and revision.
- Take our Free Scrum I (US I) Practice Assessment. This offers 20 practice questions to get you used to what to expect in the real assessment.
When you are ready to take the assessment:
- Have the Scrum Guide and our Scrum 1 Pager to hand and use them to look up what you need.
- Answer all the questions even if you have to make an educated guess. The assessment is not negatively marked.
- Read the questions and answers carefully. One word misread can lead you to the wrong answer.
- Don’t spend too long on each question. If unsure of an answer, note down the question number and move on. Completing all the questions in the timebox can be challenging.
- Be aware of the difference between “must” (a mandatory thing) and “should” (an optional thing).
- Come back to the hard questions at the end and use your time to think them over.
- Aim to leave time to check all your answers before the end.
- Google the question if really unsure, but be careful as this takes time and there are lots of unreliable sources out there.
You can resit the assessment if you need to, but you will need to purchase another attempt from TheScrumMaster.co.uk.
