PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP)
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.

Date
I passed the RMP exam on March 13, 2018 from the first attempt with Above Target in all Domains and would like to share with you my RMP Adventure as it might be helpful for new apirants who are preparing to sit for the exam.
How did I study ?
1- Study Time: 2 - 4 hours daily (6 Days a week) for 1.5 Months.
2- References: PMBOK 5th Edition and Rita's Prep Exam 8th Edition Updated (Read through all chapters with a concentration and detailed study of Risk, Communication & Stakeholder Management Knowledge Areas).
3- Read in details the Practice Standard of Risk Management along with Appendix D.
4- Reviewed some external articles about specific topics like Monte Carlo & Latin Hyper Cube.
5- Purchased a simulation exam on Udemy & I also registered on PMSTAR.COM for their eSim and both were good quality questions and contained some good ideas.
How was the Exam ?
I can only discuss the exam in general without going into details or specifics as it is against the Code of Ethics:
1- The Exam was much harder than I anticipated: I thought I was over prepared but I actually was rightly prepared.
2- Lots of lengthy and medium length situational and scenario based questions.
3- The exam definitely tests your knowledge and experience beyond any text book.
4- I finished the exam in 3 Hrs and I was reasonably fast between reading, analyzing and answering.
What is my advise ?
Study very well and make sure you understand every single aspect properly and how to do it in real life. If you are experienced, you should rely 60% on your studying and 40% on your expertise in applying those skills in real life and the EXAM.
What is my Point of View ?
Finding the exam to be difficult is a positive thing that PMI made the exam that way so that it can maintain the value of this certification and only people who really deserve it and have the required skill level can earn it. I believe this is a plus for everyone who is certified as when you mention you are a PMI-RMP certified, people will react "Oh Wow, Great" which makes you feel proud and feel the value of this certification if compared to people saying : "Oh everyone can get it, it is easy".
I am glad that I have finally earned this certification, glad to be part of this community and I wish all the best of luck to all future candidates.
Always Remember: Such Adventures are definitely worth taking !
