Took CISSP Exam last Saturday in FL - I am sure I flunked!

Suze

Random observations:

Even tho I knew there were going to be 250 questions, I was still amazed by the sheer volume of material in the test booklet. It was 63 pages of 8/12X11 paper. I wasn't expecting that, for sure.

There were a lot of subjective questions. Only about a third of the questions were cut and dried with straightforward answers. And I was suprised by how many good answers there were to the questions. I had expected to be able to eliminate one or two right off the bat for some questions. No such luck.

I used the entire six hours to take the exam. At the end, there were still at least 5 questions I had not one single clue about. So - I took a guess.

I got only one or two questions with language like which one of these is NOT correct. There were a lot of questions that began ..which is the primary reason to do XYZ and which step in disaster recovery should you do FIRST.

About one hour in, a woman taking the test started crying very quietly. She went out and composed herself and came back in to finish the test. It wasn't me, but I sure wanted to cry when I saw that test booklet.

I have been reading the posts about how long till results arrive. I was surprised to learn that they come by email and that they come within a couple of weeks. I will be watching my inbox.

I attended the free DISA / Cert.org on demand online classes. I studied using their recommended text ... Krutz & Vines CISSP and CAP Prep Guide (2007). I also bought Exam Cram 2nd Edition. I thought I was prepared for the exam, but I now feel quite certain I flunked it.. I just boggled.

But ..I will keep you posted. Suze, Palm Bay, FL

Were all of the questions multiple choice?

Yes, all of the items on the CISSP (and SSCP) exam have four answer choices with one answer being the most correct choice.
