How To Study For Any Cert Exam

This question has been coming up a lot recently, so here’s my guide on how to approach studying for cert tests:

My recommendations, for studying for ANY cert:

 - Read the Exam Outline.

 - Stand in front of a mirror. For each line of the Outline, give a 5-10 minute lecture, at a 5th grade (or 70 year-old) level on how that thing works. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP. It seems goofy, but it works.

 - Highlight the lines where you CANNOT reasonably explain the subject. These are the ones you need to study. Cross out the ones you are able to deliver—you know those already. Study smart, not hard.

 - Find content on the specific portions you need help with. Repeat the lecture step when you think you’ve learned a sufficient amount.

 - Only THEN use practice questions to suss out the areas where you miss something. This is the true purpose of practice questions—not to gauge if you’ll pass, but to uncover the areas you need additional work on.

 - Restudying those portions. Repeat the mirror step.

 - Take more practice tests. When you’re hitting high 80s, low 90s, you’re ready.

 

 That’s it. That’s how to study and pass.

New WannaBeA product: Domain/Topic/subTopic-specific learning

I’m very proud to offer a new line of content for studying for the CISSP. So many of my students (and other candidates) have approached me and complained about the lack of targeted material…they want information that only covers their own areas of weakness, not a 600-page book that goes over the entire Outline.

So this is what I’ve created: a line of short essays (3-10 pages, for the most part) that address each Topic/subTopic of each Domain of the Exam Outline. This allows you to pick and choose just the stuff you need to learn.

Each one will be priced low ($3-$5 USD), and only available via ebooks. I cover the concept, how and why we apply that concept in the real world, and then offer a digest of EXACTLY what you need to know for the exam. Each one is being peer-reviewed by Chad Cottle, a practicing CISSP.

You can find the entire line here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DMXM3248

I’m writing about one each day, and am almost done with Domain 1. I should have the entire Outline covered by the end of 2025. If you have a need to learn about a specific Topic/subTopic, please contact me, and I’ll add that one to the top of my To Write list, and get it done and published as soon as possible; I don’t need to write them in order.

I hope you find these useful, and share the news about them with whoever you know who’s studying for the test.

Relax. Good luck. Do great.
