After a while, you start recognizing answers instead of improving your actual understanding.</p> <p>So I built Pretty Scrum.</p> <p>It is a free, personalized practice tool for PSM I preparation.</p> <h2> What it does </h2> <ul> <li>Gives you PSM I-style practice questions</li> <li>Adjusts practice based on your progress</li> <li>Focuses more on weak areas</li> <li>Gives instant feedback</li> <li>Avoids unnecessary repetition</li> <li>Works without friction</li> </ul> <h2> Why I built it </h2> <p>I wanted a study flow that felt more like deliberate practice.</p> <p>Not:</p> <blockquote> <p>Take a full mock exam. See a score. Repeat.</p> </blockquote> <p>But:</p> <blockquote> <p>Practice. Understand mistakes. Focus weak areas. Improve faster.</p> </blockquote> <h2> What I am working on next </h2> <ul> <li>Better explanations</li> <li>More question variety</li> <li>More personalized study paths</li> <li>Exam simulation mode</li> <li>Progress insights</li> </ul> <h2> Try it </h2> <p>You can try Pretty Scrum here:</p> <p><a href="https://app.prettyscrum.org/quiz?mode=study" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://app.prettyscrum.org/quiz?mode=study</a></p> <p>I would love feedback on:</p> <ol> <li>Does the positioning make sense?</li> <li>Would adaptive practice help you prepare for an exam?</li> <li>What would you expect from a good PSM I prep tool?</li> </ol> learning resources showdev sideprojects
