Developer Questions in PSM I Test
Hello everybody,
I'm preparing for PSM I and found some articles saying that the test has questions from outside the guide, such as Developers Questions. Topics related but not limited to testing and pair programming. Where can I find an article, or a document that covers the topic? I'm scheduled to do the exam in few days, so a book won't be a good option.
I'm consistently achieving 100% in the preparation test, did it more than 5 times in one session, but those are at most 40-50 questions on rotation.
Thanks for your advice.

I've recently taken the PSM I, PSM II and PSPO I exams, and as far as I recall, I've only seen these sorts of questions on the PSD (Professional Scrum Developer) open assessment; although I have a software developer background, so perhaps they did come up, and just didn't disturb me enough for me to remember!
Perhaps someone else can confirm my belief that software development practices are not covered in PSM I...
I agree with what Simon has stated, as I also recently did with PSM I, II and PSPO I assessments and I did not find any questions related to PSD in PSM I, II or PSPO I. However, you might get some questions from Development/Developer topics. But you could prepare for that with the Scrum Developer Open assessment. I believe that may be more than enough.

The only questions that I remember from being "outside" the scrum guide are hypothetical and situational questions that make you think outside the box. There were no development questions that I recall. I took the open assessments until I got 100% 30 times in a row. I scored a 92% or so if I'm not mistaken. Read the Scrum Guide several times, take the open assessment for the PSM as many times as you can stomach. If you want, look at the Scrum Developer Open Assessment and the other open assessments offered on Scrum.org; it won't hurt but you won't see much, if any, of those questions on the PSM1 assessment.
