This is a lessons learned from Mr. Khayyam who is a regular visitor to this blog and has passed the PMI-RMP certification exam.
我于2019年8月15日通过了PMI-RMP考试。我要感谢Fahad对问题银行的支持。它是市场上最好的之一，并在准备过程中为我提供了帮助。
I passed my PMI-RMP exam on August 15, 2019. I want to thank Fahad for his support, vis-à-vis the Question Bank. It is one of the best in the market and helped me during my preparation.
Thank you once again.
我于今年早些时候开始计划PMI-RMP考试。第一阶的业务是了解需要什么资源。新万博登录手机版可以预见的是，我搜索了它。
This was when I stumbled upon Fahad Usmani’s blog post “I Passed My PMI-RMP Exam，”法哈德（Fahad）详细介绍了获得PMI-RMP认证的旅程。这很彻底，但他甚至花了一些时间记录他在准备期间学到的课程。
I got my30 contact hoursfrom Syscomp, and Mr. Suhail Iqbal was the trainer.
I used the materials he recommended, i.e. Practice Standard for Risk Management, Rita’s book (now that was a tough one to find; some people told me it’s obsolete and you won’t find it, but I did, tucked away in an Amazon warehouse in Texas), and the PMBOK Guide.
至于模拟器，我使用了Fahad的PMI-RMP Question BankandPMI-RMP模拟测试before the final exam. I used PM Fastrack as well for the risk domain, but that was generic.
Once I became more comfortable with the preparation, I needed a resource for the exam questions. I tried a few online question banks, but they were not high quality. Once again, Fahad came to the rescue, and I bought his question bank. The questions were excellent, they tested me in every domain and had very good explanations of the answers. Fahad has put a lot of work into getting these together.
I took around two-and-a-half months to prepare for the PMI-RMP Exam. Once I felt confident, I applied for the exam and reached the center on time. The questions were longer than I expected, and some were tough, but overall I found it easy. I finished in two hours, and then I took a break.
After the break, I submitted the answers, and I passed. I got “Above Target” in all domains.
My suggestion to anyone looking to achieve their PMI-RMP certification is to follow the practice standard. It is not too much to go through cover to cover at least four times and then look for other material, be it Rita’s, Head Start’s, or Mr. Kuwaiti’s book. If you have a PMP certification, revise all knowledge areas in the last couple of weeks. Be consistent when you dedicate time for preparation, this will be more manageable.
我强烈建议Fahad的RMP准备指导；他的问题库和模拟器很棒，您参加考试时会给您带来优势。
I am thankful to Fahad for his support through email as well. He was always very gracious and quick to respond. I wish him all the best.
Best,
Khayyam Sohail Abbasey, PMP, PMI-RMP
我在2020年4月24日获得了PMI RMP认证。让我与所有努力尝试这项具有挑战性的考试的人分享我的课程。
2018年3月18日早些时候，我首次尝试了PMI PMP认证。从那时起，我一直梦想获得另一项认证，即PGMP或RMP。但是，在日常正式工作中，我仍然非常忙。在PMI Islamabad分会网络会议之一中，我从几所大学获得了RMP认证的动力。最后，我能够在2月20日与我的伴侣穆克塔尔·艾哈迈德（Mukhtar Ahmed）先生（他也与我合格）制定了一项学习策略。我们认为在这个初始阶段的主要消息来源包括PMBOK第六版，PMI风险实践标准（2009年版）和我们的风险管理讲师伊斯兰堡巴赫里亚大学的Tabjeel Ashraf先生共享的参考材料。随着我们扩大研究，我们还获得了Rita Mulkahy课程的贸易风险管理技巧，Head Start，Robert J Chapman的风险管理规则。在进行了2-3次通过以上参考材料之后，我们搜索了一些练习问题。我们从Fahad Usmani先生获得了100个免费问题的帮助，他的170个问题数据库，澳大利亚UCertify，PMI RMP认证免费培训（180个问题），快速轨道 / RMC Cloud等。在参考书和练习问题上进行了5-6周的艰苦工作，我们准备在3月20日中旬预订测试。突然出现了19个情况，所有测试中心都关闭了。 This gave us some additional time to consolidate our efforts and finally appear in exam on 24 Apr 2020. Qualifying such a challenging exam in first attempt (above target) was an honour for both of us.
I would like to thank Mr Fahad for his thought provoking questions data bank which really helped me a lot to refresh my analysis skill acquired two years back while preparing for PMP. Another good thing about his questions is that they help you to understand multiple scenarios which you can be expected on exam day.
祝所有在成功之路的朋友们好运。

Hii Bilal, Congrats for PMI -RMP Certification . Also Thank you very much for sharing your experience. Can you share with me the following details also
1)Do we need to study thourougly other knowledge areas like, Communications, Stakeholder, Procurement, Quality management also? Or just we need to go through these knowledge areas and have an idea for the major items? (For example In stakeholder -salience model, stakeholder cube, for communication -types and methods of communication, like that ). Kindly share you’re experience
Thanks Vinay for a very particular question which really concerned me a lot while preparing for RMP. What I did that kept my primary focus on the risk area, however, studied other important areas like integration, communication, stakeholder and procurement etc from PMBoK. You need to develop these areas’ linkages with Risk Management. Refreshing your PMP preparation questions of these areas using RMC cloud or Fast Track will enable you to handle related questions in exam. I hope these tips would assist you in your path to success.
Thank you Mr. Bilal for your valuable reply. I passed the exam on 29/06/2020.Thank you for the valuable advice
Congratulations Bilal on passing the PMI-RMP exam.
Hii, Mr.Fahad,Is the PMI-RMP exam changed? Which edition we need to Refer , PMBOK 5th or 6th Edition on 2020?Since one more process introduced in 6th edition “Implement Risk response” and rest is more or less theoretically same. kindly help me .
2)Also which other knowledge areas we need to study thoroughly?
Hello Vinay, it is still based on the fifth edition of the PMBOK Guide. Read the complete PMBOK Guide with more focus on risk-related issues.
Thank you Mr. Fahad. I passed the exam on 29/06/2020. I purchased your 170 questions and it was very helpful. In between I checked with PMI through customer care to check whether PMBOK 5 or 6th edition to be referred, they informed me to use 6th edition. Thank you very much for the question bank anf valuable advice
Congrats, Vinay, on passing the PMI-RMP exam. PMI did not announce when they have migrated to the PMBOK 6th edition.
Helpful for me.
Thank you Jobayer for your visit.
I used the RMP book from Fahad for my PMP and it enhanced my depth of understanding and speed of resolving questions. Its based on the PMBOK as well. Great product
Thank you Albert.
HI Fahad, Who heads the project management office when all portfolio, program and project managers exist in an organization? Should PMO be placed at the protfolio level? Project board is a committee one level higher than PMO, right? PMO acts the secretary of PMO, right? Project board includes the CEO as its head, right? Change control board reports to project board and thus independently exists by itself? Project board exist independently of Board of Directors (BOD)? Please clarify. TQ
Hello Jo,
It totally depends on organizational structure. There is no fixed setup and every organization has to chose the hierarchy based on its own requirements.
嗨，法哈德，谁将准备业务案例，项目，计划或投资组合经理？项目宪章由项目赞助商准备。项目发起人是项目发起人，计划还是Porfolio经理？正确地指出，Portfolio经理通过对计划和/或项目的投资对价值创造（对组织的影响）做出响应？计划经理是针对制定福利管理计划的响应责任，对吗？计划经理是否等同于高级项目经理职位？陈述项目投资组合经理的另一个任期是正确的，例如项目组合的总经理？项目总监或投资组合经理向首席执行官报告，对吗？
Hello Jo,
I would recommend you read the first, second and third chapters of the PMBOK Guide 6th editions. I hope you will get answers to your questions. If anything not clear even after reading these chapters, please write back to me again here, I will reply you.
GREAT EXPERIENCE!
