Passed CCSP, 4th attempt
Took me 4 tries, but I manage to pass the CCSP today.
Read all 3 known books:
All in One - Daniel Carter
CBK - Adam Gordon
Study Guide - Ben Malisow
First attempt I used CBK only, fresh after getting my CISSP finished. Failed by 40 points.
Second attempt was worst. Used all 3 books for second attempt.
Third attempt, I had an unfortunate session with a teacher at a bootcamp. Because of that, I failed the 3rd attempt.
Resat for a 4th attempt, this time went to square one and read only CBK. By this time, I'm already familiar with almost everything in each 6 domains. My problem: taking how the test is.
I forget how conceptual it is, just like CISSP. I took it, as if it's a technical test, not an ISC2 test.
But I kept using practice exams nonstop for the last 2 weeks with my preference in order:
Boson
Sybex Practice Exams
AIO Practice Exams
I felt accomplished after remembering how ISC2 test was, after taking so many practice tests. Wherever I have wrong in the practice tes4, I go back, review, re read question in case I missed something, then absorbed it.
Admittedly, I wonder if it was worth it, especially since I have my CISSP and CCSK.
