Denver 5/19/12 Exam
Hi all!
Just wanted to see who took the exam in Denver on 5/19/12. I took the SSCP and I got my butt kicked I think, lol
I used the latest AIO along with the StudiScope from ISC2. The AIO covered at least 85% of the material I ran into on the test while the StudiScope material gave me a pretty realistic view of what the test was actually like.
For the most part I felt prepared but a weakness I have come to realize that I have is my difficulty in choosing the best answer when all of them appear to be pretty much equal. I had to spend a lot of time recreating a similar scenario in my head to determine what would I, my superiors, or my organization would have done if something like this were to happen. If I pass, then I think it's safe to say that I got off lucky and that my organization is doing a lot of things right based on best practice. If not, then maybe we have organizational kinks to work out, haha
I think there were 60 of us in the room with 2 people taking the SSCP, 1 working on a concentration to the CISSP, and the rest were CISSP.
Win, lose, or draw, I will definitely keep working on it in the hopes of one day getting my CISSP.
Cheers.

Best of luck... Hopefully the wait won't be too long for you. I think the SSCP is really an undervalued test, and a lot more challenging than most people realize. -

Thanks. It's no joke that's for sure.
If anyone out there is thinking of taking this after the Security+ and think that it's easy, it's not. Make sure you study up.

Thanks all!
Also want to give a huge thank you and shout out to Darril Gibson. I've read your Security+ and SSCP AIO book and passed both exams.
You making a CISSP book by chance?
