in SSCP
So, I'm sitting this CISSP in less than 24 hours: 12/6/2013 8:00AM EST. I'm a little nervous, but I think with the amount of reading, quizzing, and studying I did in general I should be OK. Only time will tell! As usual, I will update this thread post-exam, as soon as I walk out of the testing center.

    Hey congrats on reaching the big day tomorrow. I just sat and took my examination on the 30th. Passed first time. If this is the first time you're seeing the test, the only real advice I could give (not even sure if you want it right now :D) is to not let the lack of terminology throw you. It took me probably 100-150 questions before my brain could accept the change in question format.

    I made sure (as best I could keep myself to it) to not select an answer if I was unsure. I marked it flag and left it blank so that I wasn't second guessing myself when I reviewed it. That wasn't my idea by the way...this forum is a good resource.

    Best of luck and knock it out of the ball park.

    Bummer. Take a few days to regroup. What are your weakest domains?

    Sorry to see you failed the exam, at least you've seen it and know what to expect next time. Hopefully work reimburses you for the cost.
