CISSP Passed 7/29/2017
I passed the CISSP this morning and I wanted to give back to this community.
My study plan:
Exam was harder than I expected. Lots of scenarios and SDLC questions. I felt I was 50/50 of passing when I hit end on the exam. Good luck to everyone taking this exam!
Resources:
My study plan:
- 4 months of studying
- 2 months reading the Official study guide
- 2 months of testing and reinforcing my weak points with the study guide and Eleventh hour
- Read the Eleventh Hour book twice
- Finished the exam a little over 3 hours.
- Read every question twice.
- Marked ones I wasn't 100% sure until I got through all 250.
- Second pass focused on all the ones I marked which was a lot.
- Took 1 break

Congrats!!!! Sybex Official + 11th hour seems to be the best passing combo from all the posts on this forum. I used both myself based on what I read from previous posts.
