I passed today! It's difficult to summarize the exam experience. I've scheduled it thinking "OK, I'm confident on about 80% of the content, so I should be able to do some damage control on the 20% left". CISSP exam from the 3rd question until the end : "So, let's talk about those 20% 😏" Even with the knowledge, it was sometimes (often) completely impossible for me to rationally select an answer, as if knowledge was necessary but not sufficient. If it happens to you, don't give up and trust your intuition. Study strategies I've found useful : 1. Being part of this community, where I've been feeling supported and valued. Hello @Vincent Primiani 🙂 2. The awesome and comprehensive study sessions @Josh Botz 3. Books I used and loved : Destination CISSP ebook (super useful to understand quickly a lot of content), All-in-One CISSP exam guide (super useful to go into greater detail) 4. Learnzapp for the practice questions and practice tests, really a good training for the exam 5. Taking the CC exam. Thanks to @Clifford Jenkins and @Jon Brown for suggesting that.

Masked ROM (MROM) · It contains a pre-programmed set of data and instructions burnt onto the chip during the manufacturing process. · The information once written cannot be changed. Programmable ROM (PROM) · It is manufactured as a blank chip which can be programmed using a special device called a PROM programmer or PROM burner. · Once programmed, its contents cannot be modified or erased. Erasable Programmable ROM (EPROM) · It can be programmed multiple times unlike PROM. · The chip contents can be erased and re-written by exposing it to strong ultraviolet (UV) light. Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM (EEPROM) · It can be programmed multiple times like EPROM. · Unlike EPROM, the data can be erased and re-written electronically with no need of UV light. · Selective data can be erased from the EEPROM without erasing the whole chip. Test your knowledge: What type of ROM is a Flash Memory drive – MROM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM?

Now I wish I hadn't waited 10 years to finally sit for it. I passed! For those that want to connect: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cliffordjenkins/
