About the PSM I Exam
The PSM I (Professional Scrum Master I) from Scrum.org is the industry's most rigorous Scrum Master certification, requiring an 85% passing score on 80 questions in 60 minutes. Unlike CSM, PSM I has no mandatory training requirement — it tests deep knowledge of the Scrum Guide 2020 across three focus areas: Understanding and Applying the Scrum Framework, Developing People and Teams, and Managing Products with Agility. The certification never expires.
Exam sponsor: Scrum.org. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the PSM I vocabulary game free?
Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.
How does the PSM I vocabulary game work?
Each round shows a clue for one of 20 PSM I terms. Guess the term in six tries: green means the right letter in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the term but in another spot, and gray means it is not in the term. After the round, read the explanation and play the next term.
Where do the PSM I terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the Scrum.org content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
What is the PSM I passing score?
The PSM I exam requires 85% or higher to pass — that means at least 68 correct answers out of 80 questions. This is significantly higher than the CSM exam (74%) and makes PSM I one of the most challenging Scrum certifications. The exam is 60 minutes long with no scheduled breaks.
Do I need training to take the PSM I exam?
No. PSM I has no prerequisites or mandatory training requirements. You can purchase the $200 assessment directly on Scrum.org and take it immediately. However, most successful candidates study the Scrum Guide 2020 thoroughly (many read it 3+ times), complete the free Scrum Open Assessment on Scrum.org until scoring consistently above 95%, and use practice exams.
