Passed CISSP

Passed the exam...

I took around 5 of the 6 hours given. The exam was 250 questions, and of course all of them are multiple guess/choice.

1. Material used: CISSP AIO v5, ISC2 OIG, Shon Harris Video Mentor, CCCURE Forums, and CISSP Certified Information Systems Security Professional - Exam Prep App in AppStore

2. Broke studying into 1 solid week per domain, and gave 2 week s of just reviewing questions.

3. Suggestions for members – This exam isn’t easy, but don’t over study. This exam is a inch deep and a mile wide. There’s no way you can know everything, but knowing how to come to the right conclusion is the most important aspect of this exam. By knowing the high level concepts that they expect you to know, you will pass the exam. If you memorize the technical stuff, such as the layers of the OSI model, that may or may not help you solve a telecommunications question on the exam.( I wouldn’t count on it)

Overall I really enjoyed the exam experience… just remember that you MUST have patience when it comes to take the exam, but more importantly afterwards … I took the exam a bit ago, and am working on the second step (endorsement).

    Congrats VSJ. My hope is that I can post a "Passed CISSP" thread just as you did, but in Dec of 2014 when I am scheduling the test for.

    I've been studying for two weeks, would appreciate if you could detail your study cycle such as: "Read one domain, took 3 quizzes, watched video on domain, took quizzes again etc." Everyone has a different study style that works best for them, however I think sharing that is extremely valuable as some of us get stuck in a studying rut and doing some different orders could help break out of it.

    how are you going to do to keep the CISSP status up to date? I heard that you must work in a IT security-related field.
