Hi all.

I've been lurking on and off since i first booked my CISSP exam for early 2015.

After 5 reschedules i passed first attempt on Wednesday.

I found it difficult to devote time to studying, then from January i got in to it and was determined to not reschedule again.

Usual materials, Sybex official book and question bank, Mc Graw Hill questions, CCcure, Eric Conrad (book and test exams)
Cybrary videos are nice, but i discovered them too late.

I must be odd, first professional exam for years and I almost enjoyed it.

Good luck to all future CISSP'ers and thanks to all those who have posted on here, really helps to feel part of a group.

    Meant to say, the exam Q's are not always directly on the material, some interpretation is required. I think they are looking for a mindset as well as outright knowledge.

    Experience in the field is invaluable in this regard.

    Congrats from across the pond! Props to you for enjoying the process. The only thing I liked was that it was over!

    I know how that feels.

    You are right! It means you have been doing things the right (i.e. ISC2) way and the CISSP exam validates that. :D
