Exam Information

After attending a two-day Certified ScrumMaster course, you are eligible for the final step in becoming a ScrumMaster(CSM), completing the online Scrum Alliance CSM exam.

You will not take the test during the two-day course. Instead, a link will be sent to you the day after the course allowing you to take the test in your own time.

You must answer 37 of the 50 multiple choice questions correctly to pass. The test has a time limit of 60 minutes. You may skip, go back, and bookmark questions to review later.

If you have any unanswered questions, you will see a warning message when you click submit.  Once you submit your answers, your test results will immediately appear on your screen.

Our Certified Scrum Trainers recommend you plan on taking your exam as soon as you can after completing the two-day classroom training.

You have 60 minutes to complete the CSM exam, but you don't need to finish the test in one sitting. You can stop and restart as many times as needed. You can also skip, go back, and bookmark questions for later review.

Review your bookmarked questions before submitting your test for scoring. When you click submit at the end, a warning message will alert you of any unanswered questions.

If you do not pass the CSM exam, you will be shown the questions you missed, but not told the right answer. You will be expected to research the right answer.

If you don't pass the test, you can take it a second time at no cost. The Scrum Alliance charges a small fee ($25) for each attempt thereafter.
