New! Lexicon: Expanded Edition
83 terms across all five domains, including the full vocabulary of task E.3, which appears in no published glossary. Each entry gives the definition and its source. If a term carries a distinction the exam tends to test, an exam note names it. The definition tells you what a term means; the exam note tells you what the question is actually asking. $25 for RIMS members; $35 for non-members.
PurchaseNew! Flash Cards
114 cards covering the concepts, models, and distinctions the exam returns to, organized by domain. Built for spaced practice: work a domain at a time, or shuffle the deck once you know the material. Includes a PDF summary for quick review before exam day. $35 for RIMS members; $45 for non-members.
PurchaseNew! 60-Question Practice Test
60 questions drawn at random from a bank of 120, covering all five domains. Every answer includes an explanation and a pointer to the domain, task, and lexicon term to review, so a wrong answer tells you exactly what to study next. Each attempt draws a new set, so you can retake it and see questions you haven't answered yet. $45 for RIMS members; $60 non-members.
PurchaseNew! 120-Question Practice Test
A full-length practice exam that matches the real thing: 120 questions drawn at random from a bank of 360. Use it to test your pacing and your knowledge. Every answer includes an explanation and a pointer to the domain, task, and lexicon term. Each attempt draws a new set, so you can take it several times and track your progress. $95 RIMS members; $125 non-members.
