Why there are no practice questions that approximate the actual exam

I know I’ve shared this before, but it’s worth restating: there are NO practice questions that are very similar to the actual exam....because nobody would buy them (or they'd buy them and then instantly demand a refund). The actual exam questions are awkward and poorly-written, and don't read easily or with direct meaning. This is true for any INFOSEC cert exam.

So practice questions aren't designed to mimic the exam; they're useful for two things:

  • they let you find which areas of exam knowledge you're comfortable with, and which you need to study more

  • they are useful for practicing the marathon sitting-sessions you'll be expected to demonstrate on the exam, concentrating and using your brain for a long period of time
