Common PSM I questions about exam format, study order, official resources, practice strategy, and candidate traps.
On this page
Is PSM I harder than CSM?
Often, yes — PSM I can be more precise and less forgiving of “Scrum-but” answers.
How do I avoid trick questions?
Anchor on the Scrum Guide: accountabilities, event purposes, artifact commitments, and empiricism.
What usually causes misses?
Most misses come from:
importing non-Scrum roles or approval logic
confusing facilitation with command-and-control direction
mixing up event purpose with status reporting habits
choosing answers that sound sensible but are not supported by the Scrum Guide
How should I use this hub?
Use the Syllabus first, then the Study Plan, then the Cheat Sheet. Move to Practice after each block so your miss log stays tied to a specific Scrum rule.
