CISSP Passed on first Attempt (06 Jan 2016)
Hi All
I was waiting this moment since I joined this great forum; I read a lot of posts titled by “Passed” and sometimes by “failed”. All of these experiences are absolutely useful
I would like to thank all of you who shared your experience and encouraged me to continue till writing this post.
Yesterday was so special; I passed my CISSP exam
I spent 5 months preparing for this exam
Resources:
2. Boson exams: 750 Q
3. CISSP Practice Exams by Shon Harris
4.Official (ISC)2 Guide to the CISSP CBK 4th Edition (used as reference)
Lesson Learned:

Break for one week then start to think about what next

- CISSP Complete Video Course By Sari Greene;
2. Boson exams: 750 Q
3. CISSP Practice Exams by Shon Harris

Lesson Learned:
- Experience is very important to pass the exam; it is not about memorizing bunch of information to pass.
- Time management is crucial especially if you are not native English speaker I took the whole 6 hours and wanted more.
- Study in group or at least with one of your friends/ colleagues
- Spend as much as you can watch/listen/read the material you need to be familiar with it
- Before the exam sleep well; it is long exam so you need to have full energy.
