Though not a big fan of Scrum certifications, I still want to help the community by posting a few trick questions asked in the Product Owner certification exam (PSPO). Guys, I found PSPO-Advance easier than PSPO-1 because of the time pressure. You have to complete 80 questions in an hour. So, practice a lot.

You may also refer to my other post on how to prepare for the PSPO-1 exam.
