Scrum Master Certified (SMC): Common Questions From Candidates

What is the Scrum Master Certified (SMC) certification exam?

The Scrum Master Certified (SMC) exam (code: SMC) is the official Scrum exam that leads to the Scrum Master Certified (SMC) certification. It sits at the Professional level of the Scrum certification track. It is also connected with related credentials such as Scrum Developer Certified (SDC), Scrum Product Owner Certified (SPOC), Agile Master Certified (AMC). Passing it proves to employers that your skills have been validated by Scrum itself, which is why the SMC credential keeps showing up in job postings.

How many questions are in the SMC exam, and how long does it take?

The Scrum Master Certified (SMC) exam gives you 120 minutes to work through 100. Pacing matters more than most candidates expect, so before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the Dumpkiller test engine to learn how long you can afford per question. If an item stalls you, flag it and move on — coming back later beats burning five minutes on a single question.

What score do I need to pass the SMC exam, and how much does it cost?

The passing score for the Scrum Master Certified (SMC) exam is 74%, and the official registration fee is USD 150 (approx.). Remember that a failed attempt means paying that fee in full again, so a timed self-assessment with Dumpkiller practice questions about a week before your exam date is a cheap way to confirm you are scoring comfortably above 74%.
