Passed CISSP!
Took and passed the exam yesterday!
Thank you to everybody here! I really learned a lot from this forum.
The five tips (from another thread) are gold!
I thought I was doing really well on the first two hours of the exam, so I completely forgot to pace myself and had a false sense of confidence. The relatively 'easy' questions came in the first 100 items on my exam and I thought that was the 'hard' part already. Then when I came back from a short break, I realised I only had a minute to answer each of the 175 questions I still have left on the exam! I started panicking and couldn't stop staring at the timer every time I get to answer an item. I finished the exam with only 10 minutes to review the over 30 items I have marked. I ended up not changing any of my answers since I didn't have the time to review them all. I actually got timed out on the exam while reviewing haha! I was in bad shape when the exam ended and just proceeded to the reception to get it done and over with. Thankfully, I passed. That was a huge scare and a lesson I won't forget.

Good luck to everyone taking the exam!
It is your personal IPS to stop the attack.
CISA piece of cake after CISSP. You will fly though it.
What's your thoughts on CISM compared to CISSP? I recently passed CISSP and am about to start CISM.
Yeah, I'd like to think I got 'em right. Thanks!
Shon Harris' practice exams book and the mcgraw-hill online resource should be good.
Thanks! And congrats on the pass too! Good luck to your CISSP journey!
Thank you! Really hope I would.
