All, Based on the information on the BMC/Remedy Education web site, RSP and even RAC are changing. RSP is now a closed book exam with True/False, Multiple Response, Multiple Choice questions. The exam is administered at the end of the Application Requirements Analysis, Design and Development course.
>From the web site >(http://www.bmc.com/BMC/Common/CDA/hou_Page_Detail/0,3464,11629550_11650863_89788539,00.html): BMC Educational Services is pleased to offer the BMC Remedy AR System Skilled Professional certification for BMC Remedy AR System v7.

All about how to best conduct the full life cycle of the software development process. Back when I took them, The RADD class was basically a shorter version of the RAC class.

If anyone has taken it, what's the level of difficulty in your opinion? I was going to take it in March, but at the end of 2008, simply taking the What's New in 7.x is not going to be good enough anymore. Here's what I've taken so far: BMC Remedy AR System 6.x: Administering - Part 1 (WBT) BMC Remedy AR System 6.x: Administering - Part 2 BMC Remedy AR System 6.x: Administering - Part 3 BMC Remedy AR System 7.x: Performance Tuning and Troubleshooting If I take Remedy AR System 7.x: Application Requirements Analysis, Design & Development and take the test before 2008, I'll only have to take the What's New in 7.x WBT (which I think I already took) After 2008, you have to either take 7.x Part 1, 2, and 3, or take an equivalency exam for Part 1 and 2 (and still take the class for Part 3) for 7.x. So now I'm going to have to take this class in December and I was hoping for a nice holiday with no studying, but I guess that's not going to be. When studying for this exam, are the books the main resource? Thanks everyone!
