What is the difference between "simulated test" and "practice questions"? The "practice questions" are the complete set of all questions for an exam. This is a large body of questions. When you are working on the "practice questions", each of these questions will be presented to you sequentially. The "simulated exam" is a subset of the same questions, but only 36 (or 24) at a time, and drawn at random from the pool of practice questions. Of course, the 'random' selection takes into account topic weights as given by PRMIA for each of the exam topics. If you have done all the practice questions and are confident about them, the simulated test will only present the same questions again. Each time you try a simulated test, a new random drawn test will come up.
In both the practice questions and the simulated tests, the choices of the answers are presented at random each time. The idea is that each time you practice the question pool, you should not end up having remembered the 'position' of the correct answer,
Remember that Riskprep is not a replacement for the PRM handbook, nor for the various textbooks that provide an advanced treatment of many of the topics covered by the PRM exam. You will still need them. The idea behind Riskprep is to provide an inexpensive way for you to enhance your understanding of risk management, get greater confidence as you prepare for the exam, and supplement your preparation.
What are the questions like? Can I try some? At the end of every question, feel free to send your feedback through the link provided, or by sending an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Better still, share your question in the forum so others can benefit too.
Our questions are constantly being added to, and edited. The question pool is not static.
How many times can I practice the questions? During the period for which your access is valid, you can access the question pool as often as you like. There is no limitation on the number of times you can attempt the questions. In fact I would encourage you to practice them multiple times so that the concepts become completely clear in your mind. The choices will be jumbled up each time you try them, so you do not have to worry that you will remember the position of the correct answer.
Access and payment I don't have a PayPal account. Can I pay by credit card? You can pay directly by credit card too. On the left of the PayPal login screen, you will see a link to pay by credit card without using a PayPal account. How long is my access valid for? Your access is valid for one month. We believe students normally need practice questions when they are sufficiently advanced in their preparation, and a month is adequate to practice questions right before writing the exam.
How long does it take to get access once I pay? Why do I not get immediate access to the questions? It takes some time (up to 30 mins) for the payment to be reflected in your account. So please be patient. If you continue to have problems, please send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will fix it as soon as possible.
Will I be charged automatically every month? No. Your payment is a one time charge that gives you access for a month. It will NOT be automatically renewed. Most people need the access only for a limited time prior to the exam, and often a month suffices. Of course, if you wish to continue your access, you can do so by paying again. Riskprep will not charge you again automatically.

Where do I access the questions once I have paid? Go to the exam that you have paid for and for which you wish to review the questions by clicking the 'My Exams' tab. You can access the questions by clicking the links 'Practice All Questions' or 'Simulated Exam'.
For example, for Exam 2 this is what you need to click on:
