SAFe Agilist (Leading SAFe) practice test and exam questions
Leading SAFe is the course, and SAFe Agilist (SA) is the certification you earn by passing its exam, so people search for both. The exam has 45 questions in 90 minutes and you need 80% to pass, which leaves room for only nine mistakes. It covers the whole Scaled Agile Framework at a leadership level: Lean-Agile mindset and principles, Agile Release Trains, PI Planning, Lean Portfolio Management and leading the change. Our Leading SAFe practice tests cover every domain.

Sample Leading SAFe exam question

Leading SAFe FAQ
Is Leading SAFe the same as SAFe Agilist? Leading SAFe is the course. SAFe Agilist (SA) is the certification you get by passing the exam at the end of it.
Do I have to take the course? Yes. Scaled Agile only gives exam access to people who attend the matching course, and the first attempt is included in the course fee if you take it within 60 days.
How hard is the SAFe Agilist exam? It covers a lot of material, and 80% means you can miss only nine of 45 questions. Most people who fail run short on SAFe terms like ART, PI and Lean Portfolio Management.
Does this cover the new AI-Empowered exam? Yes. Scaled Agile added AI topics to the exam in 2026, about 12% to 14% of the questions, and our bank includes them.
Does SAFe Agilist expire? Yes. SAFe certifications are renewed every year through Scaled Agile.
Are these real exam questions or dumps? Neither. Scaled Agile’s real questions are confidential, and using dumps breaks its exam rules and can cost you the certification. These are original questions written to the same format and topics, each with an explanation.
What if I don’t pass? Our money-back guarantee covers you. See the guarantee terms.
