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

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

Rami,

This might be a function of how deeply I am involved in agile stuff every day so for me the prep and the exam itself were very simple. Either that or I just lucked out on the "pull" of the questions from the overall exam pool and got easy ones :-)

Stephane

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 !
Thanks for the additional tips, Rami!

I highly doubt you lucked out, while it could happen, but I think it’s more you being an Agile Guru, you should get on writing a book, Sir.

I shall concentrate this year on:
1. Study online courses
2. Search for opportunities to ' GIVE BACK ' by way of teaching.
3. Read and understand the differences between PMBOK 5th Edition and 6th Edition.

I am a recent grad with minimal experience so I just started studying for the CAMP certification. I want employers to know that I have knowledge even if I don't have much work experience regarding Project Management. If anyone has advise I would love it!
