Adrenaline rush, this morning I passed 😅 , what did I use? Al Whole lott, 🤯 perhaps I'm unable to inclusive all, i divide it in 2 parts.. quantitative and qualitative ;) Qualitative : - First global overview with the Pete Youtube Video's (feel the knowledge needed, can I do it..) - Started first Learnzapp assement, which domains are shortage in knowledge - Get the official study guide (10th Edition) it covers new territory - Breakdown the learning 'blackspots' subjects, domain after domain. So I selected in learnzap 1 domain after the other. - Take notice of the Best Practice tips, eliminating, sesamstreat, (in the exam I found myself on a Time Stress path...) - On of my black spots (during Learnzapp) was to select multiple answer where it says "All that apply" - Took my own time to read every answer and really understand each answer on each question. Why it is what it is - Discussion with Chatgpt about the English Grammer / Meaning, I was struggling some words. Quantitative - Mainly I used learnzap, 25 questions in the "Apps Smart Logic" it envolves - To add the more 'strange' hard questions I added : - Andrew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbVY0Cg8Ntw Paused the question answered first myself - Halfway I discovered "CISSP Study Group" from Vincent, valuable information!! 😀 - Gwen https://www.udemy.com/course/cissp-mock-exams-master-all-8-domains/ - I partly used Mike Chapple on Linkedln - to much video's to slow, even on 1.75 speed. - I loved the free video's on https://destcert.com/ During the study I noticed myself in conflict with answers from Andrew / Gwen / Pete etc etc. I think it could be me.... So to be sure, I only tried to find an answer in the Official Study guide, not in the Last Mile from Peter of DestCert material. It's older, so my idea was, look it up in the official one and make my own choice, imagination.

I started in Sept 2024 Exam Date Dec 7 2024 Completed in 1h 30m Question 110? My exam was mostly the wordy questions, maybe 5 one line questions. I was between projects and felt this would be a good time to get this off of my plate. I had no specific routine, just used something on my list. Now I would say that I spent most of my time in practice questions/exams. I felt that was a way to weed out what I knew. If I was really weak in an area I would use both books and freshen up my knowledge. I did a lot of QOD (Question of the day) or a quick 10 in the apps, this could be anytime when I first got up, before bed, if I woke up in the middle of the night, waiting at a doctors office etc. If I began to memorize the answers to questions I would move to another app, or in the case of LearnZapp I would go through all of the questions in 1 domain. I noticed as I was doing questions, my average time was in the 17 seconds range sometimes less, but my score was not changing very much. So I devised my own hack to get a feeling for time. I set my phone to 1 minute 20 seconds (3 hours divided by 125 questions = 1 m 26 s) The I would take a Quick 10 or maybe 30 questions, watching the clock, even if I knew the answer at least let a minute go by to "feel" how much time was left.

Well I provisionally passed my CISSP today. I will out of communication for a week, but I promise I will share what, how etc when I return. I will leave you with this, my exam was mostly long form questions, unlike others here who have said they had single sentence questions.

Thank you God and thank you everyone for your support in this Group. Your encouragement, many practice questions here and recordings for specific domains are all worth the time. My advice is when answering questions, think like a security consultants/Architect. What would you advise the business to do if you are in the shoe . Throughout my questions I do not think I used “ the Think like a manager mindset “. I wish everyone preparing all the best
