Endorsement Done!!!

I just got the coveted, "Congratulations! It gives me great pleasure to be the first to address you with the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP®) designation!"

So for me...

5/2013 - Begin slaving like dog to study for test.
9/13/13 - Sacrifice chicken to the God of Certification Exams
9/14/13 - Passed exam
9/19/13 - Sent endorsement paperwork to (ISC)2
9/20/13 - Received confirmation of receipt of endorsement application
10/16/13 - Received confirmation from (ISC)2 on CISSP designation!

Personally, I think the chicken sacrifice is what did it.

Make it a free range chicken though, not one of those mass produced ones!

Should be very soon! One guy on here got his in 21 days. He submitted his paperwork two days before me.

Don't act like us SISPs don't get the women, Humbe.

I was curious as to recent wait times for the confirmation.

10/11/13 - Passed exam
10/15/13 - Sent endorsement paperwork to (ISC)2
10/15/13 - Received confirmation of receipt of endorsement application
??/??/13 - Received confirmation from (ISC)2 on CISSP designation!

I hope that I receive mine as fast or faster! Thanks for the details!!!

Congrats! Can you share your study plan? I plan to test in December, almost done reading Eric Conrad study guide and going to read 11th hour a few times and CISSP for dummies as well

This is what I did...

Beginning about three months prior to the exam, I used the Official (ISC)2 Guide to the CISSP CBK. Read that cover to cover. After each chapter I used the included exam simulator to create a 25 question test in what I newly learned and an additional 25 questions for each of the previous chapters so they remained fresh. So by the time I finished the book I was taking 250 question practice exams.

About a week before exam day I read through, though not as thoroughly as the "Official Guide," the CISSP All-in-One Exam Guide, 6th Edition, using it to fill in any holes in my knowledge that I thought remained. I also completed several practice tests at CCCure.

At around 9 PM, the night before the exam, I officially ended my studying. Whatever I knew was all I was going to know prior to the exam and trying to review any more would, at best, have no effect, and at worst, interfere with getting a good night's rest resulting in my tanking the exam the next day.

It must have been a good plan as I passed on the first try.

I'm hoping for the same thing. My dates are as follows:
4/20/13 - Passed Exam
10/9/13 - Sent endorsement paperwork (needed to wait a few months until I met the experience requirement).
10/10/13 - Received confirmation of receipt of endorsement application

So, it's only been a week so far for me. Will keep on waiting and let you guys know when I hear back!
