30 Free PMI-RMP Questions with Answers (Part - 1)

[NEW: 40 Free PMI-RMP Questions and Answers on Latest RMP Exam (Link)] 

These questions are prepared  based on my understanding of Project Management Institute's (PMI®) Risk Management Professional (RMP®) examination. Feedback from successful RMPs, have also helped to shape these questions. 

Exam takers have informed that such questions made them prepare well for the RMP examination. In fact they say some of the questions are harder than the real exam. 

I believe if you can crack questions which are somewhat tougher, it will be relatively easy for you when you actually answer the questions during your examination. 

Out of 30 free question, in this article, 15 questions are given. In the next article, you have the next 15 questions.
