Got my PSM 1, couple of tips

Hi,

Very pleased. I got the PSM 1 yesterday. Many thanks to people in the forum for providing pointers and tips.

The main things I found that helped me (over and above current experience as scrum master and the agile teams I've worked in) were:

1. Doing all of the open exams on the Scrum.org site and being sure I could get and understand 100% on each. Some questions especially on PO and Developer had a bearing on the SM exam

2. Used Mikhail Lapshin's excellent sample tests on http://mlapshin.com/index.php/psm-quiz/

3. Read the SCRUM guide end to end a couple of times and referred to it while doing the sample tests in learning mode

4. Read SCRUM Mastery and online resources about coaching agile teams. Read the Scrum Study SBOK


Even with that some of the questions in the exam I had to refer to what had been done or I would to in real scenarios and think quite hard. The exam did actually make me think quite hard

Regards,

Andrew
