Delivery first: your download is ready immediately after payment, and an email copy arrives within one minute. If nothing shows up within 2 hours, check spam and contact our support team — and remember, you can install the software on as many computers as you need.

On outcomes: if you sit the SMC exam within 60 days of purchase and do not pass, the PrepAwayETE money back guarantee covers you. File the claim within 2 days of the exam with a scanned enrollment slip and the official score report (PDF), and it is processed within 7 days. The candidate name must match the payer name; the policy excludes exams taken within 3 days of purchase, purchases never used in an actual exam attempt, free materials, and expired orders. Rather than a refund, you may instead exchange the product for two free exam packages of equal value and keep the update service on your original purchase.

No mandatory prerequisites; basic Agile/Scrum knowledge recommended; SDC® certification optional

The Scrum Master Certified (SMC) syllabus spans 7 domains, starting with Scrum Artifacts (10%), Scaling & Advanced Scrum (5%), and Scrum Roles (25%). The full weighted outline is in the syllabus section above — read it before you allocate a single study hour.

The SMC exam — full name Scrum Master Certified (SMC) — is Scrum's own measure of whether you can work with its technologies at a professional standard. Passing awards the Scrum Master Certified (SMC®) certification, a credential at the Professional level. For anyone making an informed career move, that vendor-backed proof is the kind of signal that shortens interviews. It also connects to Scrum Developer Certified (SDC®), Scrum Product Owner Certified (SPOC®), Agile Certified Practitioner (ACP) as natural next steps.

Passing the SMC exam requires 65%, and official registration costs $450 USD. That fee buys one attempt only — a retake is billed again in full, no exceptions. The economical play is to rehearse first: drill 102 practice questions at PrepAwayETE under timed conditions until the passing mark sits comfortably behind you, then register.
