Re: CAP Exam Review
It was not a requirement. However, I wanted to pursue a cert higher than the CISSP to stand out, so, I decided I would try my hand at the CISSP-ISSEP. After looking into the ISSEP and noticing one of the four domains is C&A/RMF, I decided to tackle the CAP as preparation for that domain. Essentially, the CAP was just a… -
Re: CAP Exam Review
the advise given by Johnnyg and SuperISSO are on point. Just know the whole RMF process, link it up with the SDLC, know the roles and responsibilities of all the key players, study the necessary NIST and FIPS documents they mentioned. That's exactly what I did. I found some extra material on the NIST website as well that… -
Re: CAP Exam Review
It is good knowledge to have even if you don't take the exam. I have seen more and more people asking for this certification and I have seen recruiters in some environments specifically prefer candidates with both certs as opposed to just a CISSP. I think the CAP is definitely becoming a solid compliment to the CISSP in… -
Re: CAP Exam Review
If you are in the DoD C&A world or want to get your foot back into that door, I would highly recommend the CAP. Preparing for it helped solidify my existing C&A knowledge and experience and has definitely made me a more well-rounded professional. Also, it helps set yourself apart in the job hunt if searching for this type… -
Re: CAP Exam Review
Jonny, was there anything that you could say that surprised you or tripped you up? I went to a DIACAP/RMF transition class 6 months ago and CAP training 3 months ago. All the review questions are pretty much scenario based besides the normal "What step covers" or "What type of analysis". I work Policy and Governance of… -
Re: CAP Exam Review
I had my Bachelor Degree in Cyber security in 2013, but up to now never got a position in the field yet ( may be due my resume or i don't know). So i decided to prepare for the CAP Exam which someone in the field with CISSP cert advised to me. I bought the book and started studying until i came across your posting. What… -
Re: CAP Exam Review
Let me just say, that I was in the exact position as you. I took the CAP last year in March, failed (I was so close to pass but I think 2% off), and then didn't touch the exam until last month. I set a similar study schedule, added an extra week of study time and this time I passed. With that said. I have NO idea how I… -
Re: CAP Exam Review
I took the CAP last week and can say this information is still very accurate. I failed with a 692/700. Unfortunately I took a boot camp through work and focused on a lot of things that we not on the test. What others have been saying is accurate, follow the NIST guides and you should be good to go. I followed the boot camp… -
Re: CAP Exam Review
Thanks for your write-up on how to study for the CAP exam. I took the exam last June. I didn't pass it. I was really upset, because I felt I had studied really hard and had a pretty good grasp on what would be on the exam. I should of taken it again soon afterwards, but I'm already scarred from not passing exams, so I let… -
Re: CAP Exam Review
There are no good question sets to use for the CAP that I am aware of. It is difficult to study for because there is so little in the way of available study materials. This exam isn't one that can be passed solely on flash cards and practice questions, although they help. You really need to know the documents themselves.…
