    How many questions are on the CSM exam and how long is it?

    The CSM exam has 50 multiple-choice questions and a 60-minute time limit. It is taken online without a proctor, and you can refer to materials because the exam is open book.

    What is the passing score for the CSM exam?

    You need 74% to pass, which means answering at least 37 of the 50 questions correctly. Because it is open book and aligned to the Scrum Guide, focused study across all six topic areas prepares you well.

    The CSM programme is 16 hours of instruction, which exceeds the Scrum Alliance minimum and meets its course requirements. It is delivered as two full days or four half days depending on the schedule you choose.

    Is the courseware aligned with the latest Scrum Guide?
