Passed PSM1 1st attempt
Finally passed PSM1 today on my first attempt. During the course of test, thought that I will fail between 75 to 82 but my preparation helped.
Thanks to all members in the forum, your inputs directly and indirectly helped me to pass the test.
My preparation steps/tips below,
- Scrum Guide - read 6 times and understood completely
- Frequently watching this forum
- Took PSM, PSPO, PSD open assessment multiple times (n+)
- Assessment by mlapshin (http://mlapshin.com/index.php/psm-quiz/)
- Testtaker online subscription
- Few other online free mockup
What helped and what is not required
- Scrum Guide -> Is the only way to pass this exam, read - read - read - understand
- Frequently watching this forum -> MOST NEEDED
- PSM, PSPO, PSD -> Take these open assessments only when you done with the Scrum Guide. Taking this test multiple times will once lead to consistent 100% (as same questions will be repeating with 2 or 3 new ones)
- (http://mlapshin.com/index.php/psm-quiz/) -> Same as above, Take it only when you done with the Scrum Guide and after 2 attempts will start to get 100% more frequently (as same questions will repeating)
- Testtaker online subscription - IT DIDN'T HELPED ME, I SUGGEST TO SKIP IT
- Free Mockup - Please do
100% score in open assessment and mlapshin doesn't ensures that you will get 100% or pass in psm1.
Understand Scrum guide and be a part of scrum team (not mandatory) & finally face the test.
I have few areas of improvements, need to focus on those as a next step. Finally Thanks again for all inputs in this forum
Congrats
