Will the number of questions on each domain be about the same? (IE 65 on each)

Will the number of questions on each domain be about the same? (IE 65 on each)

Or will they vary, IE. 85 on one domain and 45 on another.

TIA

There's really no way to know ahead of time how the items in the CISSP exam you take will cover the ten domains of the CISSP CBK. Assume an even coverage of all the domains. Also assume that single items may contain information from multiple domains.

It's best not to try and "game" the CISSP exam by how it is designed and just study all the material the best you can. There are really very few tricks for taking the CISSP exam and no shortcuts in studying for it.

The mix varies heavily, both over time, and depending on the version of the test that you get. I know someone who had a LOT of physical security questions on their test while I only had a few on mine, and we took the test a month or so apart.

The best bet is to study everything thoroughly. If you don't know all of the material really well, you're not going to pass.

Thanks! I will try that, studying everything evenly.

What am I talking about, I meant 25 each, 650 questions in 6 hours would be impossible.
