Nov. 6, 2010 CISSP News...

Greetings earthlings...

I just called (ISC2) and they told me this...

"Due to US Government agencies increasing their budget for test takers, there has been an increase in exams for CISSP. The DOD 8570 compliance has added many end-of-the-year candidates so the results are taking longer than usual. Nov, 6th, 2010 is a very popular group. Please be patient and you should have your results in 7-10 days".

I didn't give him my name, he didn't ask.

Ouch! They really need to work on their scoring system.

I hope they do something about it.

It has nothing to do with the "score system" or the exam itself. This delay is caused by a sudden increase in the average number of certification candidates and the number of exams that need to be graded. The DoD deadline for (ISC)2 certification has created a last minute rush by procrastinators to get take their exam. It's not necessary to have your score by the end of 2010, but only to have taken the exam by then. Anybody failing will probably get an extension to take the exam again.

I am aware of everything that you have stated. The (ISC)2 personnel basically said the same thing.

I just want my results. I'm not under the gun like a lot of other candidates are. I just happened to leave Afghanistan in November and sat for the exam while I was home. If I have to take it again it wont be at the end of the year for sure.

I saw you took your exam on Nov 6th in Kansas City. I was there that day as well, with no results yet either. Please let me know if you get your results and I will do the same!!!

Long time lurker and first time posting…

I took my SSCP on November 6th as well and was informed today I passed!


I used the following:

• SSCP Gold Book
• ISC2 studISCope (https://www.isc2.org/elearning/default.aspx) – I found the self-assessment quite helpful but a bit pricy.
• JDMurray’s blog on his SSCP experiences (http://www.techexams.net/blogs/jdmurray/the-sscp-certification-experience/)
• SSCP Exam Prep Book, William Manning
• Freepracticetest.org

I would strongly recommend getting your Security+ before tackling the SSCP as the information you learn in the Security+ will help.

Welcome to TE and big CONGRATS! on the pass. I think I might chase that cert next year. Thanks for posting your materials.

Moe.

Congratulations on passing the SSCP!

And glad that I could help a little.
