Unproctored does not mean open book

Scrum.org’s Standard of Conduct describes techniques to detect copied material, matching answers between test takers, and the use of AI — with penalties up to revoked certifications and a deleted profile. There is also full-screen enforcement that flags switching windows.

The practical point lands the same way: at roughly 45 seconds per question there is no time budget for lookups regardless. The strategy that works is flag-and-return, not research-and-return — answer what you know, flag what you don’t, and come back with the minutes that remain.

How far to trust your mock scores here

This bank only serves questions anchored to a verbatim Scrum Guide sentence. The real assessment also asks multi-step scenario-judgment questions that live disproportionately in focus areas with little or no Guide text — areas this bank deliberately excludes rather than invent unverifiable answers for. The result: mock scores here run optimistic by roughly three to five points versus a real attempt. A 90% here should read as “probably ready”, not “comfortably clear”.
