Senior Projects Manager | Field & Marten AssociatesNew Westminster, British Columbia, Canada
I've raised a similar question acwhile ago about the same topic but I would like to be more specific in this question in terms of what I am looking for with regards to the RMP exam:
1- Was the level of difficulty for the exam the same as the PMP exam ?
2- Which references did you study from ? Which chapters (Communication, Risk, Stakeholders) ?
3- How much study time did it take you before you sat for the exam ?

Hi Rami,
well, i just have done a little research on it and it is really not easy to find a good source therefore. I have discovered some links where RMP simulators where offered but i do not know them personal, so please have a closer look on them by yourself.
From my perspective the one by Whizlabs makes a more or less good impression ...
I have asked this question here as well. There seems to be a mystery behind the exam. :-) I read the post of our fellow colleague about his journey - https://www.projectmanagement.com/blog-pos...g-PMI-RMP-exam. The constant theme I keep seeing is know the Risk Management Knowledge Area of the PMBOK. I have had Rita recommended; but her material on Risk has been discontinued; but some have recommended her PMP Prep Book which covers Risk Management. There are some practice test which are for a fee online.

Hi Demetrius,
I agree with you and this is what made me raise the question again. Markus gave great guidance and I believe the PMBOK with the Practice guide combined will suffice.
As for the simulation exam, I have no trustworthy resources so far.

You need to read the stakeholder management knowledge area, as well, in the PMBOK. (Stakeholder engagement is 20% of the exam content.)

That is a bit surprising, Janice. I am on and off with studying for the RMP and while Risk Management is not an easy topic, yet, I find the material to study is less dense that when I studied for my PMP Exam. It took me 5 months to properly prepare for the PMP even though I have 12 Years of solid PM experience.
What made you find the level of difficulty higher if you do not mind sharing ?
