CISSP Feedback

in

Got a detailed message from a former student I’d like to share…good insight for those studying the CISSP:

“I took your class last year (7/16-7/20), sat for the exam in late September, but did not passL. In that instance I know I incorrectly answered a drag and drop on controls and was surprised by the number of Cloud questions. That said, I spent the rest of the year and this spring internalizing all the material using the following resources:

 

·         CISSP All-in-One Exam Guide, 7th Edition

·         Official (ISC)2 Guide to the CISSP CBK ((ISC)2 Press)

·         (ISC)2 CISSP Information Systems Security Professional Official Study Guide

·         CISSP Official (ISC)2 Practice Tests

·         How To Pass Your INFOSEC Certification Test: A Guide To Passing The CISSP, CISA, CISM, Network+, Security+, and CCSP

·         CCSP (ISC)2 Certified Cloud Security Professional Official Study Guide

 

I read the (ISC)2 CISSP Information Systems Security Professional Official Study Guide, Reviewed and read CISSP All-in-One Exam Guide, 7th Edition, and took all the end of chapter tests as well as the CISSP Official (ISC)2 Practice Tests and also read your book, How To Pass Your INFOSEC Certification Test: A Guide To Passing The CISSP, CISA, CISM, Network+, Security+, and CCSP. In addition to all of that, I spent some time studying the Cloud Security basics contained in - CCSP (ISC)2 Certified Cloud Security Professional Official Study Guide and test questions.

 

I then sat and passed the exam on 4/30/2019. I was fed a completely different exam questions and again had quite a few Cloud based questions which I felt prepared for after studying the CCSP material. It’s been a long road, the test always looks deceptively easy, and I am pleased to have provisionally passed. I must say the practice exam application that came with the SHON Harris book most closely represented the actual exam experience. “

Hope that helps— seems like useful stuff!
