Hi to all those passing CISSP. Can anyone tell me if all questions are long like questions in Shon Harris allinone book. English is not my first language so I think I will struggle if lots of long scenarios.

There is a mix of long and short questions and some scenario based questions which are repeated but asking different things. You have plenty of time though so you should be ok.

Thanks for your reply. Have my exam next month and am not looking forward to it.

Pumping yourself up and having a positive attitude is half the formula to success. You have to say to yourself - I OWN this test. I was so pumped up and knocking questions out that I almost (not really) was sad to see it end (no, I was glad it was over - but I knew I was going to pass). But that's the attitude to have.

Good luck - you got this.

"was sad to see it end" - that's bordering insane...Thanks for the vote of confidence though...Was almost tempted to reschedule it for a few months but I think I'll have a try at it. Got nothing to lose (except £415 exam fee).
