I've failed PSM-1 exam with %75!! Please help!

Hi Ece, have you taken the PSM class?  It is a great way to learn.  You can find upcoming classes here.

I would say that you've alluded to a potential solution in what you have said in your post, in that practical experience is helpful when undertaking the exam. Whilst there is some theory present, it is still required to demonstrate applied understanding of scrum which is why many of the questions are scenario-based.

There are a number of useful books out there which you can read to supplement the learning that you have already done, and are mentioned on the PSM1 preparation guide here:

If you have any agile meetups or societies which are local to you, you could always attend and get involved in discussions around the subject too.

Hope this helps - good luck in your scrum journey!

Hi ECE, 

I'm really sorry to hear that. I just passed the exam and posted the resources I used.

I hope this helps. 

Good luck

Hi Ece,

I am also planning to take my exam within next 10 days, I read maybe 10 times scrum guide itself and in addition I bought the scrum course in Udemy for reasonable price (smtng like 12 usd). Lets see what I will achieve and am I able to crack it from 1st try.

Ece - +1 on taking a course.  Regardless, did you go through the Learning Resources?  https://www.scrum.org/pathway/scrum-master

I agree with Tom,

You need practical experience to complement the theory (its one thing to learn, another thing to do...) is there anything you can do to get this?

Do you already work for a company that has a Scrum Master you could shadow or learn from?

If not, I would attend events, talk to people about their experiences.

I can really suggest to take a professional class(2-3 Days), you will get much info and preparation tests, which are on par the with exam questions.

And yes, the Test is not easy.

I failed mine with a 76 :( so many real life scenarios that just reading them made me waste so much time :( how frustrating 

That's the thing with PSM I. It says that you will have "basic" knowledge of Scrum but in reality you will really require some hands on experience to pass it. I strongly recommend that you take the PSM I workshop.

Additionally, Scrum.org's forum is a cornucopia of agile wisdom and knowledge. Feel free to browse through the discussions or better yet join in one if you see anything confusing.

I wish you the best of luck. You can do it!
