My Road to CCSP
I am dedicating this thread to update my road to CCSP which started today, as a quick background about me I am an Information Security Engineer coming from Networking background with decent knowledge in a lot of IT fields, Infrastructure, Networking, Compliance, Penetration Testing, AWS Cloud ... etc. My weak points are programming, development, and databases.
The certificates I currently hold are; CISSP, CEH, CCNP R&S, CCNA Security, CCNA Voice, ITIL and a lot of courses with vendor products like McAfee SIEM, F5 GTM, Fortigate Firewalls and others.
I started my way to CCSP and will be updating on regular basis, aiming to pass the exam in two months.
Today I got the official study guide and decided to start with Cybrary videos, finished domains one and two, seemed to already know good amount of the material so far, not sure how will it go with the rest of the domains.
I want to use the following approach,
Finish a domain or two from Cybrary, read the corresponding pages in the official study guide and asses my knowledge with test and mock exams (no not ****)
In the meanwhile, is there any material which you feel would provide extra value during studying that would aid in both better understanding of the material and higher chances of passing the exam? Looking for more test exams as I couldn't find many, anything similar to the exam out there (again not ****) with a decent volume of questions?

I have watched the Cybrary videos fully several times and looking for additional material so will be keeping an eye on this thread.
Are there any good practice exams available?

I can't tell if it is good, but their CISSP practice test was.
Good! CCSP is one my goal too.. I just have to kick my butt..
I really feel comfortable and I already know a very good amount of covered information within the material.. do you think it would be sufficient to depend on the Official Study Guide? I think about reading it again, go through all marked items and do any online tests before sitting for the exam.
Any suggestions?
Will schedule the exam soon and will book the first available Monday exam, will read the official study guide in the 48-hour period before the exam, I now plan to spend lots of time doing sample tests.
So now, I would really appreciate your advice regarding available practice tests, besides the official one. Which one was similar to what I would expect seeing in the exam?
All the best.
