Passed the PMP, failed the AWS, and they closed the testing facilities before I was able to take the CISSP. I haven't been working heavily in cybersecurity since then, and just took the 50 question practice test, scoring a 62%. Some things were very familiar, others I don't remember learning about. I'm wondering how much studying I'm in for.

Our little 50-question sample is 70% all-or-nothing, and I am not sure if the exam engine from the official study bundle from Sybex does or not (though they could tell you). I do know their answer explanations are excellent, so you will know your week domains when you review your quiz results.

Even using the official study bundle quizzes, I think you do have to match your incorrect answers to domains yourself.

I don’t do that with any certification. You can easily schedule it when you feel comfortable and done studying

Hello Pete, After extensive searches on the net, I recently came across your channel and great advices from the provided videos They are amazing and I am about to start the work towards the CISSP certification During this "pass in 2 weeks" video, you mention (11:22) that it is better to leverage "study notes" from someone rather than creating from scratch your own. You advise about links in the comments to access some of them. I am unable to find. Can you please provide? PS : I understand study notes are different from the powerpoint materials for each domain that you have shared in the complete 8h course description Thanks much!

@@InsideCloudAndSecurity Thank you, response much appreciated. However this is not what I am asking for : there is NO link in the full 2022 course description that points to any study notes. There are only links to the pdf presentations of the modules. It looks like If I don't find any existing notes to leverage, I am going to have to write them from scratch - I'd like to avoid this as much as possible, i.e. do things the way you advise. Any chance for me to have access to any, even if they are extensive? Thanks much in advance again.

CISSP is definitely not a good first security certification, since it assumes you have five years of experience. A good first security cert is Comptia Security+ - Start here - kzfaq.info/sun/PL7XJSuT7Dq_VD3eHXQf3Ld2ceBSFCayns

If the person you ask to sponsor/vouch for you with ISC2 knows your experience, that’s probably good enough.

I bought the recommended books and was ready to take the quiz to asses to see where I should concentrate on my studying. However, each domain has a practice test that is almost 100 questions per domain and the back of the book has practice questions, however how can I easily tell which ones for the back of the book are for which domain? For example if I miss 30 questions in back of the book the questions are not linked to a domain so I won’t know how to determine what domain to concentrate on

At the time I made the video about my exam experience, it was true. This is one of the very few CISSP videos I made before the 2021 update to the CISSP exam, at which point ISC2 changed that requirement.
