What it covers
What it covers. The exam tests whether a candidate can apply the Scrum framework as written. Most questions describe a situation on a Scrum Team and ask what should happen next, so the candidate has to hold the three accountabilities, the five events with their timeboxes and the three artifacts with their commitments precisely.
The heaviest weighting sits on managing products with agility, which covers the Product Goal, ordering and refining the Product Backlog, forecasting and how value is measured and validated. Preparation means reading the Scrum Guide closely, then working through scenarios until the boundaries between the three accountabilities are obvious.
Sixty minutes for eighty questions is roughly 45 seconds each, so pace matters as much as knowledge. Timed practice is the part of preparation people most often skip.
