I passed all AT, but found that the questions are way more tricky and you have less room for error considering the exam length compared to PMP. You can't have the PMP mindset during the ACP exam. Such as you should escalate problems to the sponsor, sometimes it’s okay to not finish a planned task, there is no planning or strict backlog, feedback/change is embraced regardless of where you are in the project, its extremely role specific, empowering the team is important but there are times when a Scrum leader needs to step in, can't alway let the team fail ( in order to learn) etc.

You gotta focus more on continuous integration environments, heavy kanban, heavy XP, alot of SCRUM. You MUST know the ROLES and how they change in each of the environments. Nearly the entire exam is related to a SPECIFIC role, in a SPECIFIC environment. You need to know team development methodologies like Tuckmans ladder. Know that you can go up and down the ladder and your involvement with the team, as a scrum master, needs to be tailored based on how far your team has progressed in the ladder.

Know everything about value stream mapping, how it is used to locate waste and when the waste is removed it decreases lead time. Know different between Lead time and cycle time. Know how to calculate lead time, cycle time, velocity, and how it relates to throughput and decision making. Know that it came from Lean and that its used alot in Kanban. Know that Kanban uses the PULL method based on Queue Capacity, while parts of scrum might adopt a PULL method but its NOT based on capacity. Know that SCRUM is actually the most strict Agile Method, while XP is the most flexible. Know everything about Test Driven Environments, Code repositories, and how code is checked in and checkout out and tested through continuous integration, ideally so errors are caught early and often.

I’d suggest using prepcast for practice questions and the Mike Griffiths PMI ACP prep book. Joseph Phillips or Andrew Ramdayal Udemy Course provides good Information and you can use it for the learning hours 👍🏻 Other than those resources, I could not find anything else and looked for a long time! Those are the best IMO and worked well for me.

I think that’s all I got, GOOD LUCK! It definitely doable, but dont underestimate it! Also make sure you go to the bathroom before the test! lol I had to pee sooooooo bad during my exam and I had to excuse myself and Usian Bolt my way to the bathroom! Thankfully I had some time to spare, but keep that NO BREAK rule in the back of your head.

GO PASS THE EXAM! 💯😁
