Passed CCSP, 4th attempt

sp129

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.
