Please see the following link from the certifying organization, particularly Section 1: Obtaining the required experience. https://www.isc2.org/cissp-how-to-certify.aspxt@tt003dg33k wrote: »
You have to have 5 year experience or 4 years plus an approved certification or degree to sit for the exam. Even if you pass, you won't get certified because you won't be able to get an endorsement.
Interviewed many a faux security experience with neither the IT let alone any security experience but have fraudulently obtained the CISSP. Good news is they fold like paper when you press them with a light touch. Its become an all too common complaint. I seriously suggest getting at least five years of IT experience then start your security career and get another five years of experience before sitting for an experience based exam.
Your future employer and senior security brethren will thank you for it!

I definitely think some are being a little too harsh. I know people who have pass the exam without the experience and one of them landed a junior auditor job because of the "Associate of ISC2" designation. The CISSP is like any other exam, if you study the material throughly, you will pass...experience will definitely help but it's not the "end all be all". -

When you open quizlet and look for flashcards, do a search for CISSP. There will be a lot of them, but you want to look for the ones that are published / uploaded by (ISC)2.

Like everyone else said.. don't give up, and don't get down on yourself, this is a test of endurance and plain old test taking skills, regroup and refocus and get back at it, you should nail it the next time now that you've had experience sitting on an actual exam.. Be waiting to read your PASSED Post soon
Cheers
