in CISSP
I passed the exams on the 14th of December and this is my journey
Study period: 3 months
Material : Sybex 7th Edition and Conrad's 11th Hour
Simulation Tests: Boson Engine and Sybex Test Bank
I had been studying for 2 hours every night during the 3-months period. I studied both books till the last page and then started the simulations. At the beginning my score was in the 60's but soon I got improved and felt comfortable when I was achieving steady 90s.
I took the Exam on the 14th of December. It took me 3 hours to finish the first pass (with a 10' break) and then I reviewed the flagged questions (17 in number). Total time 3 hours and 30 minutes. I was really anxious when I hit the end button but this anxiety disappeared when I took the letter. "Congratulations..."
I was referenced by an active CISSP on the 18th of December and my journey ended on the 18th of January when I received the final confirmation.
I want to thank you guys as I was silently following you in the Forum and I wish best of luck to those that are currently studying for the exams!

). X year plan: (20XX) OSCP [ ], CCSP [ ] -
