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.

Our podcast team member Matt Snoddy served as an expert witness in a recent (ongoing) case. His testimony is part of the public record, so we’re proud to show him explaining hashing (almost correctly!) to the court.

We are SO PROUD to announce a cooperative effort between Quantum Exams and WannaPractice, offering access to both sets of practice material at a discounted price!
This will be a limited, trial run for the first 50 people who respond to the offer. Here’s how it works:
- Use the code QUANTUMBUNDLE25 when you register for any content subscription at WannaPractice (not limited to CISSP): wannapractice.com, for a 25% percent discount.
- In 2-3 days, you will receive an email with a unique discount code for 10% off the price of a subscription at Quantum Exams: quantumexams.com. Use the code when you register there to get the reduced price.
We’re excited about the possibilities this joint venture offers, and eager to see how it aids the community of aspirants. If the first 50 discounts are depleted quickly, we’ll reconvene and discuss whether we make this a more durable program.
Best of luck in your studies, and on the exam!!

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.

We *finally* found a way to get the WannaPractice app onto Apple devices!
Yes, it's totally legit-- you don't have to hack your device to make it happen.
No, it's ain't easy. I apologize for that-- Apple doesn't do anybody any favors in terms of allowing users to deploy apps they want, the way they want.
So we created a set of instructions. Two sets, actually-- one for folks who want to install the app on an Apple device using a Windows laptop, and one for those who want to use a Mac. Yes, you need a laptop to install the app on your phone. I have no idea why.
You can find the instructions here: https://www.wannapractice.com/altstore-end-user-guide
If you have *any* trouble at all, please contact me or WannaPractice support; I can't promise we'll have simple answers to make it easy, but I assure you that we'll do our best.
Of course, the app can always be accessed via browser, regardless of device, if you want the content without native installation. And it is still easy to install on Android devices.
Thanks again to everyone who has used and gotten value from the app; we're proud to help people get their certs.
