Hi Everyone, I’m pleased to share that I have provisionally passed the CISSP today. It was certainly a tough exam (perhaps tougher in my own head at times). Some of the questions were genuinely challenging, but I’m really glad to have gone through the experience and come out the other side and crossed the finish line . I wanted to take a moment to thank this community - it has been a fundamental pillar in my preparation. The support around exam technique, content, and discussions have been invaluable. A special thank you to @Vincent Primiani and the CISSP team for running the group sessions [very helpful] creating a space where we can learn, challenge ourselves, and grow together. Huge respect to everyone here, including @May Brooks - and for those still on the journey, keep pushing… it’s absolutely worth it, and you’ll get to that finish line. Thank you, again.

Hey everyone, We've got another masterclass coming up with May Brooks next Tuesday. If you don't know May, she's a CISSP instructor who's helped a ton of people pass the exam, and she's been a great partner to our community. This is a live session where she breaks down how top scorers actually think through exam questions, how they eliminate traps, and what separates people who pass from people who don't. If you've been studying and want to sharpen your approach before exam day, this is worth your time. When: Tuesday, April 7th at 11:00 AM Eastern / 8:00 AM Pacific Where: 👉Register here Cost: Free for study group members!

I am happy to inform you all that I passed the CISSP exam yesterday 31 Jan 2026!!! It was a great experience. I really appreciate this platform and people on the platform that helped me in solidifying the CISSP mindset from numerous exam practices. At 100 question the test engine stopped and advised me to complete a survey!!! at that time I had 90min left on the clock!!! I really paced myself on the test!!! My advice: ALWAYS THINK LIKE A MANAGER!!! IF I CAN DO IT YOU CAN DO BETTER!!!
