in SSCP
Just want to give my professional respect to all of those who received this certification. I studied for 3 months almost 6-9 hours a day. When I went into the test, definitely felt like I didn't know anything on it. Took my first break after going through half the test which was about under 2 hours. Went back in and finished the exam but didn't submit answers and time was just about 5 hours in. Took another break for about 10 minutes went back in and reviewed my questions, changed about 5 of them getting halfway through the questions, said screw it, submitted answers, picked up print out and got my pass!

I would have to say that most of help came from my personal experience working in the IT industry.

Shon Harris AIO 6th edition (Cover to Cover)
Sunflower CISSP pdf
CCCure freepracticetests 1800+ questions.

Good luck to anyone wanting to attempt this exam.

    Really....not from the 6-9 hours per day? Congrats though a great accomplishment.

    Thank you!

    LOL. Not going to lie, I learned a lot about security reading Shon Harris's book during those 6-9 hour sessions. But it was what I felt in the end, the my experience helped me answer a large portion of the questions.

    Congrats! So the sunflower pdf and the rest of your study material still seems to be valued even though the domains went from 10 to 8.

    Yes. Just keep in mind that the Sunflower PDF was created in 2009 so there is information that is no longer relevant on the exam.
