CISSP Training/Studying Question

in CISSP
I have the opportunity to take a CISSP class for free/really cheap that would be from Jan - May. I know the test is supposed to be changing in April. Do you think I would have any issues brushing on anything new they might impose on the new test?

Also, I would have like to have this kind of class (over a few month) as it permit to study between each class. It also permit to meet other people who are studying too for the same certs. It let you have time to take some concept and relate to some your work. For my case, it permitted for me to understand some work process from a more managerial point of view and it permitted to me to change some work process to reflect my new knowledge for something more secure.
It is one thing to pass the exam, but the real quest is knowledge and concept. For that, it take time to let your brain assimilate the information and make it a way of thinking rather than just a bunch of trivia to pass a test.
ok thanks! I really wanted to take advantage of the class but seeing that there was going to be a change had me nervous.

In some way, it will make the exam shorter.
As long as they don’t botch the implementation of CAT, then it will be fine.
But I think, the pass rate will be similar, the question not harder or easier.
Cisco and GIAC don’t let you go back so if you have taken any of those exams it won’t be that different. I like the idea of not going back because you have to focus on the current question and forget about the past. If you are a perfectionist, you might run into trouble.
Some people might run into a brick wall with the 6 hour exam so I could see that helping some and hurting those who need the extra questions...I don’t see the average of people passing or failing changing too much.
I would be curious to know the average time needed for completion. I took 2h, I know it is fast(even for someone english native), but I find it a bit unbelievable that some people cannot complete because of time limit. If yes, either they don't know their stuff or they are overthinking the question.
Second, yeah the exam is dropping what 100 questions and 3 hours of test time? Really? How much easier do we need to make this exam? Back when I proctoring these exams I saw people practically needing to be pried out of their seats at the six hour mark because they felt unready to hand in the exam. Most people took about 2.5 hours with 250 questions and appeared to have past no problem. Of course at the time the whisper number concerning the pass rate was about 20-25 percent. Today the whisper rate is well over 80 percent.
Simply put the exam is fairly easy compared to years past. Learn the material, take the exam and finally, pick up the results at the front desk.

How long do you guys think will it take ISC2 to sort things out given the introduction of CAT? I will be starting my preps in January 2018 and would like to give the test a shot by Q2.
I would have preferred taking the 250Q exam though given the chance (and if I have a second language that still qualifies for it)..
