in SSCP
Just passed the CISSP this morning after two previous failed attempts throughout the last year and a half.
I only used 2 hours of the 6 allotted, including reviewing some of the questions that I flagged for review. I was extremely confident this time as I really put in a solid 5 months of continuous studying for the exam.
Luckily, my manager is a current CISSP and has already offered endorsement, so I'll get that underway immediately.

Feels good to check this one of the list...thinking a little break is deserved then onto the GCIH!

congrats
new to all this, whats the advantage of having someone else with a cissp who can endorse you?
also i see you have your ccna, in terms of difficulty how does the cissp compare with the ccna in terms of difficulty?
i realise they are different exams but on a scale of 1-10 how would you rate the two? -

Congratulations on passing and not giving up after your first two attempts ... doing the test under 2 hours is impressive .. 48 seconds per question

@eddo1.
CISSP and CCNA are two totally different exams. CISSP is more management/policy/procedural based while the CCNA is extremely technical. That being said the CISSP is much more difficult, I would rate it at least a 8 on a scale of 1-10...for the CCNA:R&S I would rate it a 4.
As far as the advantage of knowing someone with a current CISSP to endorse you...I believe it just speeds up the overall process of endorsement vs going through ISC2.* Currently pursuing: PhD: Information Security and Information Assurance

Congrats on the pass.
Make sure you don't reference "having" a CISSP on your resume you submit to ISC2. They don't like anyone saying they have it or are even an associate of ISC2 until the formal process is complete. Had a coworker's resume rejected for simply saying he passed the exam!And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high. ~Ayrton Senna

yeah kinda wonder why you have owned the CISSP (listed on the certification that you have) while you are just passed it
be careful man.. -

For those of you curious about the endorsement time:
I submitted my completed Endorsement Application on December 11, 2014.
I received notification that my Endorsement was approved and I am an official CISSP today January 8th, 2015.
So just be patient and it will come! * Currently pursuing: PhD: Information Security and Information Assurance

Congrats on it being official as of today!
Thanks for the time frame information as well. I recently endorsed a coworker for the first time around the same date as you and am eagerly awaiting his ruling.And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further.

Congrats buddy!
Just question, what did you change on your study plan/effort this time that made you achieve CISSP this time?
