Recent CISSP Feedback — securityzed

Pearson VUE test centers have reopened, and candidates for ISC2 certs have now been able to schedule their exams. I’ve been getting sporadic feedback from test-takers; here’s one recent message:

“I took and passed the exam on Saturday. 118 questions in 1:15.

I actually thought it was a little annoying. A lot of awkwardly worded questions.

It was very little direct technical questions (no TCP ports). Focused on policy and judgement. Think before you act. You have to have a core of IT knowledge, but the bulk was thinking strategically and not tactically. I think your course focused on that way more than the other materials. The cccure tests are pretty good. The McGraw-Hill material was outdated and a big distractor. And just knowing that 25 questions don't count, and you have a 25% chance of guessing let me just keep going forward after picking an answer on the weirder questions.”

Good to hear, and great words of caution for those gearing up for the exam. Good luck, everyone!
