Coming Soon in 2014… New CISSP® Exam Questions

[h=2]Innovative Drag & Drop and Hotspot CISSP Questions[/h]Beginning in 2014, (ISC)²® will introduce new innovative Drag & Drop and Hotspot questions in its flagship CISSP certification examination. Innovative question types provide several benefits over simple four-option multiple choice items.Benefits of the new CISSP questions include:

Measures knowledge at higher cognitive levels
Measures a broader range of skills
Provides more realistic simulation of practice in the field
Provides opportunities for broader content coverage than may be possible with multiple choice questions

[h=2]How will the New CISSP Questions be scored?[/h]Innovative questions will be scored in the same way that a multiple-choice question is scored because there is only one right answer to each item. All questions, both multiple choice and innovative types will be equally weighted when determining scores. The total testing time for the CISSP examination will remain the same. Addition of such items should not impact candidates’ ability to complete the examination within the time limit.

I plan on taking the CISSP here either in December or at the latest January.

Do we have a timeframe on how soon this will be implemented?

I just emailed (ISC)2 to see what they say. I will post what I find out here.

If this is true, then I'm going to have to get a new book and then wait for Transcender to create a new test bank for the new test.

As mentioned in the other thread: The current time frame for the new questions is Q1 2014. There may be situations beyond (ISC)2's control related to our testing vendor that pushes this date further out in Q1 2014, hence the vague time frame. For what it's worth, the new item types are not too much different from multiple choice items.
