you can tell i am a little exhausted tonight. "sprint" not "spring", "planning" not "plannning". :)

JBeek, this is pretty clearly laid out in the Scrum Guide. See the section about Sprint Planning. You should definitely read the Scrum Guide a few times before taking the real exam.

I read it a couple of times, but it is not clear to me too.

Hi Thomas,

If you refer to the guide, it's made clear that the Sprint Goal is set during the first part of the Sprint Planning.
Not before as the development forecasts for the PBIs are necessary to establish it, and not after as it is the guiding input for the Sprint. Hope it clarifies the point.

Sprint Planning Meeting - Part One:

"After the Development Team forecasts the Product Backlog items it will deliver in the Sprint, the Scrum Team crafts a Sprint Goal."
