Waiting is painful

New to this forum.
Just took my CISSP test in Dubai UAE on 17 Oct, 2009.

Waiting for the results.

Been looking at this web site for a few. From what I understand the results should be out any day now (I hope)

Like others after the test I did not have a real feel for how I did or how I scored on the test. The only thing I felt was numb when I left the room.

Hopefully soon I will be given an email to let me know either way.

    Welcome to TE!

    If you studied hard for the test than I am sure your part of the crowd that has passed :)

    I thought for sure I failed, I've taken plenty of certifications (MCSE, CNE,CCNA, SANS GIAC, A-plus, Sec-plus and HP Professional) and was so sure I failed that I was already scheduling to take the test Dec 18. To my surprise, I passed.

    Everyone on this board said that I probably passed and thought they were just seeing the glass as "half full". Oh yeah... It took 3 weeks for me to receive my email.

    Well I am in the same boat..... Waiting on results. To be honest I am not sure how I did on the test. Just waiting on the results patiently.

    Well I'll throw my hat in too and say the only thing I'm waiting for is confirmation that I failed. So that I can re-book it asap. I was thinking of leaving it till March, but it will probably be January.
    I am hopefully sitting my CCNA-Security exam in the next week or so with another exam hopefully before xmas.

    So while technically yes I'm waiting I'm not fretting about the result I just want to move on with it lol

    Right now I am trying to get my MCSA done in the interm.
    Take the first test 070-290 on Friday my time.
    Scheduled for a 1 week CISSP course in November
    Holding off on the retest in Dec 20th until I get word of results.

    Wanted to get the CCNA before the end of the year.

    Not too sure about that.

    You may want to generate a separate post that that others may comment or respond.

    I might take the Feb 12 Exam in Dubai, if I decide to go for the CISSP Associate (1 year experience short icon_sad.gif ). where is the place exactly?

    Retook CISSP test in Bagram and I am waiting on the results now.

    felt a lettle better this time about the test and I took my time.

    Had less than 30 minutes left on the exam once I was finished with it.

    Hopefully I did better this time around.
