Practice before taking the CSM exam!

This mock exam is developed by Valerio Zanini, a Certified Scrum Trainer with Scrum Alliance, and co-author of Sprint Your Way to Scrum.

Take the test and practice your knowledge of Scrum. This is useful for anyone looking to complete their Certified Scrum Master certification.

My recommendation is to read the official Scrum Guide for a full reference on Scrum and to solidify some key concepts before taking the actual CSM exam.
