SMC Exam FAQ: What Candidates Ask About Scrum Master Certified (SMC)
The SMC exam, officially known as Scrum Master Certified (SMC), is the Scrum test that leads to the Scrum Master Certified (SMC®) certification at the Professional level. Passing it validates the skills employers expect from a certified professional. It is also associated with related credentials such as Scrum Developer Certified (SDC®), Scrum Product Owner Certified (SPOC®), Agile Certified Practitioner (ACP).
The SMC exam contains 100 questions, and you have 120 minutes to complete them. Work out your per-question pace before test day, and flag slow items instead of stalling on them — time pressure, not knowledge, sinks many first attempts. Timed mock exams in the Actual4Exams test engines are the most reliable way to build that rhythm.
The passing score for the SMC exam is 65%, and the official registration fee is $450 USD. If you miss the mark, a retake means paying the full fee again, so book your seat only when you are ready. A practical benchmark: score consistently above the passing line on timed practice tests before scheduling the real exam.
