What resources would you use to prepare (i.e. books)? If you already have taken the exam, did you find the experience easier or more difficult than the PMP Exam?

Hi Annette, thanks for sharing the LinkedIN Group. You felt the exam was easier than the PMP. Was this because it was focused on one knowledge area with deep questions?

Exactly. There were inputs from other knowledge areas, but mostly just focused on one area. Back when I took the exam, it was brand new and there were no study materials, study groups, or resources other than PMP exam stuff, so I just studied the inputs/outputs to Risk, and Risk itself. Now there's all kinds of fancy exam programs and books out there specific to PMI-RMP.
