How do I obtain the PSM II (Professional Scrum Master) Certification?

The course includes up to two free attempts at the PSM II on-line Assessment. You can take this in your own time. All you need is a computer with an internet connection and a web browser and the assessment password, which is supplied by Scrum.org after you have completed the course. It is an "open book" exam meaning you can have the Scrum Guide open and Google available but you need to answer 30 multiple choice questions in 90 minutes and the pass mark is 85%.

Students that attempt the assessment within 14 days but do not pass will be given a 2nd attempt at no additional cost.
