SAFe 6 Advanced Scrum Master (SASM) Practice Test

While not a formal prerequisite, substantial practical experience (recommended 1+ years) in a Scrum Master or similar role within a SAFe environment is highly advisable. The exam questions often present real-world scenarios where you must apply principles, not just theory. Experience with PI Planning, Inspect & Adapt workshops, and coaching teams through Agile ceremonies is invaluable for understanding the context of the questions.

The official SAFe 6 Advanced Scrum Master study guide and the associated SAFe Framework content on the Scaled Agile website are the definitive sources. The exam is based directly on this body of knowledge. All other study materials, including practice tests, should be used to supplement and check your understanding of these primary sources.

The exam heavily favors situational and application-based questions. You will be presented with scenarios and asked to choose the best course of action for a Scrum Master, or to identify the underlying principle or practice being demonstrated. A smaller portion tests your knowledge of specific framework details, but even these are often framed within a context.

With 108 questions, pacing is critical. Allocate roughly 1 minute per question on your first pass. Flag any questions you are uncertain about and move on. This ensures you answer all questions you are confident about first. Use the remaining time to review flagged items. Avoid getting stuck on a single difficult question early in the exam.

Yes, distinctly so. While it assumes knowledge of foundational Scrum Master duties, the emphasis is on scaling activities: facilitating and preparing for large-scale events like PI Planning and System Demos, coaching teams through DevOps and Continuous Delivery, navigating ART and Solution Train dynamics, and applying metrics and tools for relentless improvement at the program level.
