The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is common among organizations since it helps teams eliminate challenges they face while scaling agile. Different types of businesses have been helped to address significant challenges through their effective development and delivery of the best results in the shortest period of time. You gain access to knowledge, skills, mindsets, and competencies associated with the SAFe pattern when you complete SAFe 5.0 and then acquire the Leading safe 5.0 certification. SAFe provides a light and simple way to get started with software development.
1. Get to Know Your Exam
Before you can conquer something, you must first know what it is. It is important to know what type of test you will be taking, how many questions there are, how much time you need, the passing score, and how the test is structured. You can find all the information on our website.
2. Be Familiar with the Content of the Exam
If you pass the Product Owner/Product Manager exam, you prove that you are capable of performing the role of a SAFe Product Owner. Certification in SAFe means you have the skills, knowledge, and experience needed for success in a SAFe working environment. SAFe certification is a powerful credential! Attending the course alone isn’t enough to get you the job. Attendance at the class does not guarantee success on the Scaled Agile exam. In addition to being an engaged and willing participant in your class, here are some ways to get to know exam content.
Step 1: Study SaFe Materials
After class, review your notes and the course slides. Get yourself a copy of the study guide provided in your Learning Plan, and read through it. On the website, you will find some suggested readings. You should begin by studying topics you intuitively know you don’t understand very well.
Step 2: Identify Your Weaknesses
Your time is best spent on focusing on both your perceived and objective weaknesses. Taking the practice test under the same conditions as the actual certification exam is one of the best ways to prepare for it. The SAFe 5.0 exam allows you to review your mistakes.
We have seen very few students taking the practice tests repeatedly until they reach the 90 percent mark. Because your real exam will not have the same questions as your practice test, we recommend using the practice test as an assessment tool. We recommend concentrating on concepts instead. Verify that you’ve clarified all the concepts and terms from the practice test that left you feeling shaky.
Step 3: Engage with the Content Creatively
It is important now to focus on learning the material you have trouble with; just reading the articles over and over again won’t cut it. Here are some ways to study:
- Describe the SAFe to someone. It’s important that you’re familiar with all the icons on the Big Picture and that you are able to explain them well.
- Develop a case study.Apply some of the abstract concepts you’re struggling with to a real company, your company, or a fictitious company.
- Take the SAFe approach to your work.How does it relate to the Framework? Where does it differ? Are your stories written in the user-story voice? What role does IP play in innovation and planning? Discuss these discrepancies with a co-worker. Changes need to be made if you have any influence. If your role is the same as the one for which you took the course, then shadow someone else in your company who does it.
3. Clear Your Exam
The only remaining step is to sit for the test. You will need to ensure that you take the exam within the deadline and that you have enough time, space, internet connection, and quiet to focus on it. You can keep track of the time using the countdown clock at the top of the screen. Before you submit your answers, read each question carefully. Changing your answer should only be done if you know with certainty that your previous answer was incorrect. It is a bad idea to change your answer at the last minute. Here are some of the tips:
- Eliminate possibilities. Occasionally, you may not be able to determine which answer is correct when reading the question. It’s still likely that you’ll recognize some incorrect responses. Ignore them. Your working memory will be freed up to concentrate on your final two or three options.
- Prepare yourself mentally. Associative thinking is a powerful process. Based on this study, memories are most strongly recalled by the sense of smell. As a result, research shows that if you chew mint gum while studying for your SAFe exam at your home office desk at night, then you are more likely to pass the exam. In order to achieve the same effect, many people use fragranced lotions, lip balms, or perfumes. As long as your mind was in a positive space when you studied, you’ll likely be in a similar state when taking the exam.
- Take deep breaths. Most people are anxious when they take an exam. Having a general idea of what to expect is helpful. Feeling confident about your knowledge of the content can help you to relax. Having a sense of preparedness is always a good thing. It can be comforting to be able to retake the examination if you fail the first time.
