Hello all,
Today, I just witnessed the last miracle.. I passed CISSP exam
.. The exam was tough, you have to send 6 hours to finish all the 250 questions and recheck the flagged ones. I thought I passed by tough exams but I never saw like this one, however eventually I passed You'll feel scared along your study and within the exam. But the moment you receive the results, it'll be nothing, you'll be over the moon
I spent 5 weeks (only) preparing for the exam, 3 - 4 hours min per day after work & full days on week ends. Drank lot of Coffee and Energy drinks till I got saturated.
I used the following:
1- Eric Conrad, 2nd edition book
2- Eleventh hours for Eric Conrad. started it only 2 days before the exam.
3- Shon Harris Tips after each domain just to know what I may missed (They helped alot)
For practicing,
1- McGraw hill exams (unfortunately didn't pass the 80% score but I knew the answers)
2- exam & half from Eric Conrad the night before the exam. It helped me alot to calm me down. The questions are quite easy
3- The questions after each domain from Eric Conrad & Shon Harris
The exam doesn't test your ability to retain the steps, procedures and repeat them by heart (As I did) but it actually test your understanding for these steps and put you in scenarios for what should be the good action according to this particular step/procedure
Actually what really made me pass: ALOOOOOT of prayers, I even asked all my friends and relatives to pray for me
My advice: Recording all the steps in mind is not enough (although it'll help) but understanding every step will do the magic and make you pass.
Wish those who gonna take the exam before 15 April all luck and for me to complete the following steps to get the certificate officially
