I already obtained PMP Certification, is it worth to consider PMI-RMP ?
Are there any free mock tests available in the internet for self practice ?
Appreciate your advise.
I would say it depends on how much exposed you are in Risk management. Nowadays, most companies are having separate departments dedicated to Risk Management, and organizations tend to segregate Risk department from the others to have autonomy and accountability. In that context, you'd be hard-pressed to find value in terms of job prospects with RMP. However, RMP will definitely enhance one's knowledge and understanding of risk management.

Thank you Mr Mubeer, Well noted. I am in the same page with you.
"Worth it" really depends on what you hope to achieve by attaining it. It does not have the same level of recognition as the PMP, so it is unlikely to help you land a job or get a promotion, but it would show your focus on that specific knowledge area.
When I got it back in 2011, it did help me when I requested to join the enterprise risk management committee in the company I worked for which did help from a portfolio risk management and networking perspective.
While there might be a number of free practice exams out there, given how much you will spend on the application, I'd recommend getting a quality paid practice exam as you get what you paid for. I used pmstar.org but there are other reputable providers as well.

Hi Kiron,
Thank you for your valuable advise. In fact, I feel that PMP also don't have great recognition in Asian countries. I am still figuring out how to get the best from the PMP certification. Many of my friends stay in the same company without landing a new job even though they are PMP certified. Ultimately, experience and networking play a big part in the industry. I believe PMP is well recognized in US and Canada than in Asian countries.
Thanks for the recommendation of pmstar.org, Let me think twice before I sign up for the PMI-RMP certification.

My thoughts are in line with those of Kiron’s. Whether it is good or not is heavily dependant on how relevant it is to your career path and goals. I did benefit from it knowledge wise, but career and recognition wise, not so much. As for the practice exams, definitely don’t go for the free ones. There are some on Udemy (as far as I’ve heard) for affordable prices.
Good Luck!
