What to Expect in the Final Exam

The actual SAFe RTE certification exam is designed to be challenging, assessing your ability to apply knowledge in complex, real-world scenarios. It is typically a closed-book, web-based assessment hosted on the Scaled Agile Community Platform.

The exam features multiple-choice and multi-select questions. Candidates generally have approximately 120 minutes (2 hours) to complete around 60 questions. A passing score of approximately 75% (45 out of 60) is required to obtain the certification.

Our practice test mirrors this format, difficulty, and complexity to give you the most realistic experience possible.
