From what I gather from other forum posts, using tests other than those on Scrum.org can run the risk of having poorly-worded questions and incorrect answers. The Scrum.org tests are quite good and I didn't need any others when I got my PSM-I.
I purchased 'Scrum Narrative and PSM Exam Guide' by Soukath Ali and Mohammed Musthafa from Amazon and that was a very good practice for the PSM 1. It's written specifically for PSM1 prep and keeps to very similar values to what Scrum.org offers.
I only used the scrum.org open assessment and all of the free recommended reading. I read, not skimmed, the entire Scrum Guide every other day for 2 weeks before I took the exam. I took the open assessment until I felt confident enough that I knew the material. I avoided any of the other free assessments. I learned from studying for non Scrum related things that the best source is the one for which you are attempting to satisfy. After passing the exam, I took some of the other free assessments and was actually astounded at what some of them claimed to be correct answers.
If you feel like you need some more knowledge before taking the PSM I after using all of the information provided/suggested by scrum.org, I suggest you take some of the other open assessments found here. Take the PSPO I or PSD I open assessments. They are covering the same basic material but from different perspectives. Take the PSM II open assessment. If you can get a good or passing score on that then you are ready to take the PSM I.
I agree! I'm done with 3rd party mock test. Way too confusing. Only problem is the open assessment only has 30 questions and I've done them a few times now and I just know the answer from seeing the first 3 words of the question. Need more material for open assessment.
The open assessments just let you know if you are able to answer questions around the basic subject matter, and are not there to be used as a guarantee that you are ready for the actual certification assessments.
@Priyanka if you truly want to learn to apply Scrum and not just receive the certification I suggest that you take a class. Our Professional Scrum Master class provides you with real-world activities that can be applied throughout your career while teaching your Scrum and setting your agile mindset. If you are focused on the test only, follow the reading in the Prepare for Assessment section on -scrum-master-i-certification with dozens of resources.
Looking at your test results, i suggest that you also reread the Scrum Guide several times until you have it committed to memory and are able to understand why what is in there is in there.
A practice test doesn't give you knowledge it gives you questions. The resources and classes provide a way to learn and interpret for application.
I gave PSM -1 exam on 25.09.2021 and I got 93.8%. To prepare I attended Scrum.org two day training workshop with Punit Doshi. I practiced from open assessments for SM, PO and Dev. Also I used i80 free simulator for PSM1 exam and M.Lapshin - Learning as well as Real time. Though the latter two helped me clear my concepts to a large extent but the foundational and more relevant were the open assessments. They gave me a 360degree view of how the Scrum Framework works in given situations. Reading Scrum Guide religiously, following the changes in 2020 vis-a-vis 2017 version of it, and open assessments are sufficient to build the understanding that this Exam tests. Good luck to all.
I passed the PSM1 test with 92.5%. I had some experience working with scrum, took a class from Franklyn Gleering on scrum.org, practiced Open assessments - Scrum Open, Developer Open, Product Owner Open several times with 100%. I also took test on -quizzes/ site (it is based on scrum guide v2017, so be careful of the answers). I genuinely practiced all these assessments/mock test, trying always to understand the question instead of memorizing the answers. In the test, all my efforts towards it helped but I could have done better if I had known that there will be many situational questions, with very little time I found them very difficult and surprising as those type of questions never appeared in assessments, so prepare well for them from anywhere you can (sadly I don't know from where). Hope it helps someone.
Just took the PSM-1 exam after getting 10, 100%'s on the Srcum.org assessment test and failed. The PSM-1 exam had questions on it that were much different then what I saw on the assessment. My results showed I need to improve my knowledge on both Facilition and Product Backlog Management. Is there a site that I can go to that had assessments longer than 30 questions and are designed more like the actual 80 question exam?
From my personal experience, Udemy had helped me to gain some confidence for real test AFTER repeated Open Assessments & 2-3x Mlapshin. I went through every correct and wrong answers with reference to Scrum Guide Book just to be sure.

To help you prepare for the exam, we offer different types of practice, including practice questions and a mock exam, with our Learning Ecosystem. As you work your way through the curriculum, we recommend pausing to answer practice questions, assessing your level of confidence and accuracy along the way. Then, in advance of the exam, take a mock exam, which mimics the exam-day experience as closely as possible.
After taking the adaptive placement test to determine the most critical areas for you to focus your studies, use the practice questions within each topic to confirm your understanding based on the study session.
Practice questions are based on lessons in the curriculum to help you evaluate your topic-level strengths and weaknesses. All questions are rooted in the current curriculum, and they are in the same format as the questions on the actual exam level you are registered for. You will receive in-time feedback on your answers, including detailed explanations for the correct answer.
Mock exams are designed to replicate the timing and structure of the exam. Mock exams, also known as question banks, are posted in the Learning Ecosystem about two months before the date of your exam.
In terms of structure, each mock exam consists of the same topic area weights and level of difficulty as the actual exam. Questions are based on the current curriculum for the exam level you registered for, and they are in the same format as the questions on the actual exam.

The Exam Simulator is similar to board certification exams, but not identical. We can't guarantee that a particular score on the Exam Simulator will correlate to a passing ASCP or AMT score. But we have collected some data from our users that can help you to get a rough estimate. The table below shows the results of a survey of users, matching their average Exam Simulator scores to their self-reported ASCP MLS exam score. Among the survey respondents, those who had an average score of 75% or better on the Exam Simulator passed their board exam, and those who scored better than a 60% usually passed.
