Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II)
From the The Big Time Blog
by Rami Kaibni
Managing any project successfully is all about Team Work combined with years of Accrued Expertise. It is an asset to have an educational background that compliments your field of expertise but "education" without "experience" is like an "arrow" without a "bow." You can never make a perfect shot with a temporary arrow unless you have a permanent bow called: "Life's Experience." Remember, you can never teach experience but you can always teach from experience.

I am proud to share with you another recent accomplishment. I passed my Professional Scrum Master II Certification with a score of 91.7%.
Preparation
1- Follow the same steps (Combined) for PSM I, SPS , PSPO I
2- Read a lot of additional documents and case studies.
3- Completed some simulation exams such as Open Scrum, Product Owner Open & Open Nexus which are available for free on the scrum.org website.
4- Read additional two references / books. Those were extremely helpful in passing the exam and they are great books to have:
- Scrum (A Pocket Guide) by Gunther Verheyen.
- Essential Scrum by Kenneth S. Rubin
Exam
1- The exam is 1.5 Hour and consists of 30 Multiple Choice Questions.
2- Passing grade is 85% which means you need to score 26 correct questions out of 30.
2- It tests your experience & knowledge beyond the any guide. It is a very tough exam so you need to have experience and know Scrum in depth.
3- Most questions are scenario based or required in depth analysis.
4- I found this exam the most difficult out of all the Scrum Certifications that I've completed so far.
What's Next
On my agenda are the following certifications: PMI-SP, PMI-ACP & LEED GA
Good Luck to all New Aspirants !

@Denise: It was really tough - You need to have an in-depth understand of Scrum as a whole, not only the Scrum Master Role.
