1/10 · Risk Strategy and Planning
A risk manager is newly assigned to a project that has just received its charter. Before drafting the risk management plan, the risk manager performs preliminary document analysis. Which document should be reviewed FIRST to understand the project's high-level objectives, assumptions, and constraints?
ATeam charter
BRisk register
CStakeholder register
DProject charter
Show answer & explanation
2/10 · Risk Identification
A risk manager wants to gather expert opinions on potential risks for a highly technical project while minimizing the influence of dominant personalities and groupthink during discussions. Which risk identification technique is MOST appropriate?
ASWOT analysis
BNominal group technique
CDelphi technique
DFacilitated brainstorming workshop
Show answer & explanation
3/10 · Risk Analysis
In performing qualitative risk analysis, a probability and impact (P-I) matrix is primarily used to:
ARank individual risks for further analysis or action by combining their probability of occurrence with the magnitude of their impact on objectives
BCalculate the precise monetary value of each risk to determine the exact contingency reserve needed
CModel the cumulative effect of all project risks together on the overall project finish date
DDetermine the urgency ranking of risks based solely on time-sensitivity, independent of probability or impact
Show answer & explanation
4/10 · Risk Response
A risk manager identifies a threat that, if it materializes, would affect strategic objectives across the entire organization rather than just the project, and responding to it falls outside the project manager's level of authority. According to PMI risk guidance, which threat response strategy is MOST appropriate?
ATransfer the risk by purchasing insurance to cover the potential organizational impact
BAvoid the risk by changing the project management plan to eliminate the threat entirely
CMitigate the risk by allocating additional project team resources to reduce its probability
DEscalate the risk to the appropriate level of the organization for a response decision
Show answer & explanation
5/10 · Monitor and Close Risks
After the project team implements an approved risk response for a threat related to a critical vendor's on-time delivery, some risk still remains even though the response was executed exactly as planned. What term BEST describes this remaining risk?
ASecondary risk
BWorkaround
CContingency reserve
DResidual risk
Show answer & explanation
6/10 · Risk Strategy and Planning
A project includes a fixed-price contract with a critical supplier. During preliminary document analysis, the risk manager wants to identify contractual risk exposure such as penalty clauses, liability caps, and indemnification terms. Which document should be examined for this information?
AScope baseline
BProcurement documents/agreements
CCommunications management plan
DResource management plan
Show answer & explanation
7/10 · Risk Identification
Which of the following is written in proper cause-risk-effect risk statement format for a risk register entry?
ASystem integration testing will be delayed by two weeks.
BBecause the vendor has a history of missing delivery dates, the shipment of critical hardware may arrive late, which could delay the system integration testing phase by up to two weeks.
CThe vendor might be late.
DHardware shipment delays are common in this industry.
Show answer & explanation
8/10 · Risk Analysis
A project team assigns probability and impact ratings of 'Low, Medium, High' to each risk on the risk register. This is an example of using a(n):
AMonte Carlo distribution
BCardinal scale
COrdinal scale
DExpected monetary value calculation
Show answer & explanation
9/10 · Risk Strategy and Planning · hard
A risk manager is establishing the risk management strategy for a large, high-complexity program spanning multiple vendors and regulatory jurisdictions, with stakeholders holding widely differing risk attitudes. Which approach BEST reflects sound development of the risk management strategy at this stage?
AAdopt a single standard strategy template from a past low-complexity project without modification
BImmediately populate a detailed risk register with probability and impact ratings for every conceivable risk
CDefine the overall approach, rigor level, and integration with other management processes based on complexity, stakeholder risk attitudes, and organizational appetite, then document it for review
DDefer defining the strategy until after the communication plan and RBS are finalized
Show answer & explanation
10/10 · Risk Strategy and Planning · hard
A functional manager insists a 5% cost variance threshold applies to their work package, while the project charter and sponsor state the organization's cost risk threshold for projects of this size is 15%. The risk manager is finalizing threshold documentation for the risk management plan. What is the BEST course of action?
AConfirm the sponsor-authorized 15% threshold, document it, and escalate the discrepancy for formal resolution
BApply the stricter 5% threshold because it is more conservative and therefore safer
CAllow each functional area to independently set its own threshold without sponsor alignment
DAverage the two values to set a compromise threshold of 10%

PMI-RMP® practice — FAQ
What are the PMI-RMP® exam domains and weights?
Five domains: Risk Identification (23%), Risk Analysis (23%), Risk Strategy and Planning (22%), Monitor and Close Risks (19%) and Risk Response (13%) — per the ECO updated January 2023.
What score do I need to pass PMI-RMP®?
PMI doesn't publish a numeric cut score — it's set psychometrically. You receive pass/fail with per-domain performance feedback. Aim for a consistent 80%+ on realistic practice exams.
Is PMI-RMP® worth it alongside PMP?
If you work in risk-heavy environments (infrastructure, finance, defence, pharma), RMP signals specialist depth PMP doesn't. The eligibility bar is real: verified risk-management experience plus dedicated risk education hours.
How many questions is the PMI-RMP® exam and how long is it?
115 questions (100 scored + 15 unscored pretest) — multiple choice and multiple response — in 150 minutes, with an optional 10-minute break mid-exam.
What is the passing score for PMI-RMP®?
PMI does not publish a numeric cut score — results are pass/fail with per-area performance indicators. Aim for a consistent 80–85% on realistic mocks before booking.
What is the PMI-RMP® pass rate?
PMI does not publish official pass rates, so any exact percentage quoted online is unverified. The readiness signal that actually predicts passing: consistently holding 80–85% on realistic, full-length practice exams before you book.
What are the PMI-RMP® eligibility requirements?
Secondary diploma + 36 months of project risk management experience (last 5 years) + 40 contact hours of risk education, OR bachelor's degree + 24 months of experience + 30 contact hours, OR GAC-accredited degree + 12 months of experience + 30 contact hours.
How much does PMI-RMP® cost?
About $520 for PMI members / $670 non-members; re-examination ~$335/$435. PMI membership is ~$139/year, so the member path is often cheaper overall — verify on pmi.org.
How long should I study for PMI-RMP®?
For most candidates, commonly reported 35–60+ hours on top of the mandatory 30–40 contact hours. What matters most is practising questions and analysing why each option is right or wrong — not just reading.
Does the PMI-RMP® certification need recertification?
30 PDUs in risk-aligned topics every 3 years under PMI's CCR program.
Are ExamDeck's PMI-RMP® questions exam dumps?
No — every question is original, written to test the concepts and reviewed before it ships, with an explanation linked to the source for every option. Dumps are stale, often wrong, and against PMI's policies.
