I enjoyed RMCLS for the PMP. Didn't know they had resources for ACP, I'll look into that. Thank you.

Thanks for the proposed exam simulators. I might also give them a try. Are you going for the ACP as well, João?

I've already read the Agile Practice Guide once. I will read it at least once more. I will take a Udemy, or such, course to provide me with practice questions and exams. What about yourself, Babalola?
Right on; I am looking at the ACP as well as CSM; not sure which one I'd like to complete first. Right now, i'm just researching. Enjoying what little breathing room I have left since passing the PMP last year. :-D

I can say that PMP was by far the most difficult of the three PMI certifications I have so far. (Though, the RMP was not too far behind.)

I'd echo that assessment, Stéphane - I was in and out of the ACP exam in 45 minutes, so way easier than the PMP!

The Agile Guide is not enough at all, I highly recommend you follow the below:


TEXTBOOKS:

1)PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book by Mike Griffiths (2nd Updated)
2) PMI Agile Practice Guide
3) PMI Exam Content Outline (ECO)

Mike's book is the most important resource. The Agile Guide is super brief.

COURSES:

1) Udemy (Joseph Phillips)

SIMULATION EXAMS:

1)PM PrepCast
2)Watermark Learning


You can check my PMI-ACP Lessons Learned in my Blog, if you are interested.

Good Luck !

It doesn't often happen, but I share a totally different opinion than yours. PMI-ACP was one of the toughest exams, for me. I barely finished on time. In terms of difficulty, I would rank them as follows:

PfMP
PMI-ACP
PMP
PMI-PBA
PMI-RMP
PMI-SP

There other certifications that I've attained and their exams were challenging too:

CBAP
PSM II
PSPO II

Well, I just got my DALSM/CDAI (Disciplined Agile Lean Scrum Master/Certified Disciplined Agile Instructor) certification. What's fun about this one is that I'm the first person (ever) to attain it as it is a brand new cert...
Kiron

That's awesome, many congratulations.
