Failed CCSP

Came here to share my sorrow..LOL..i passed my cissp on the first try in 2019 but failed the ccsp today on my first attempt. Used the usual CCSP books but i did not study the CBK for this attempt.

Once out of pearson vue i went to amazon and purchased it online as a form of self-console. $$$ Money fly away....$$$

Sorry to hear that, but I'm glad that you are not giving up and have a plan-of-action to pass on your next attempt.

Do you work in the field of Cloud Security? Have you looked at the CCSK material to supplement your CCSP studies?

I like that you are dusting yourself off and trying again. I passed CCSP on the first try, but CISSP...well that is a different story. Let's just say (ISC)2 was happy to see me coming again :-)

Good luck on your next attempt.

@JDMurray nope, i am a software dev in the semicon industry..never worked on cloud before. so the software based questions were ok for me..i performed badly "below proficiency" on domains 1, 2 and 6. the rest was "above proficiency" ..worst being the law, regulations and governance domain. a few have mentioned to look at ccsk as a supplementation. will do that. cheers.

@E Double U yes isc2's english is a whole new level imo. cissp and ccsp exams are never easy. i will probably give ccsp another try and hopefully the final try. paying 599usd twice is quite painful when converted to another currency. %<)

The fact that you failed and created a plan of action to move forward is great . It is also important to point out that you are not here crying about it. You failed , you know what you need to do to fix it and you are getting it done. That is very impressive. I can relate to the paying out $$$ and not getting the results , that is the most painful part for me too.

Go get it done . I am looking forward to your feedback once you pass. Good luck.

I can imagine. It was painful enough paying twice in USD for my failed CISSP attempts.
