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

Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.
How do the PSM I vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 20 PSM I terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.
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.
