PMI-RMP Exam Guidance

To earn your PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP)® credential, you need to meet the experience and education requirements, and pass the PMI-RMP^® examination, a 115-question, multiple-choice exam.

Regardless of how advanced your project risk management experience or education might be, you should still prepare vigorously for the exam. Successful PMI-RMP candidates typically use multiple study aids — including courses, self-study and study groups — and will spend many hours to prepare, so make sure you leave yourself plenty of preparation time before you take the exam.

Tips to Prepare for the Exam

• Review the PMI Certification Handbook (English). See below for all available languages.
• Review the Exam Content Outline and Specifications in English or Arabic.
