About the exam

The online exam is a multiple-choice, web-based, closed book, time-limited certification.

The exam will be available through the SAFe Community Platform on the last day of the course.

• Before the exam, a practice exam must be taken before the final test.
• The practise exam is similar to the final exam and can be taken an unlimited time, indicating that the final exam can be passed.
